Cut Hardy

[Earl Stevens]

I hope the following is as untrue as I'm thinking it is. Did anyone really say this?

"We got Cowboy fans who defend Dez for hitting his mom because she apparently deserved it"

You haven't seen people make this argument? That his mom is a crackhead and had it coming? I've seen that posted multiple times by Cowboy fans.

Just putting this on for discussion. No proof of anything. Read it in the comment section of a DMN Cowboy article:

It has now been reported that Hardy was late for and MISSED meetings last week.

Anyone hear this?

I know he missed a practice the Thursday before he blew up on the Special Teams coach.

 

[Earl Stevens]

Sorry Earl just my opinion, Dez and Hardy - although they have done some similar things are 2 totally different people. Hardy showed his respect for the whole organization when he slapped the clip board out the coaches hands in his 2nd game back??? I'm all for giving a guy a second chance, but this guy is making headlines every week and it's not for his play on the field. As far as what he did to the girl- awful if true but definitely some holes in her story. He just seems to keep something stirred up. Like the Panther fan said on here- this shit wasn't going on in Carolina. He is different. Dez 8 yrs ago - maybe , not now. He could be faking it all, but I honestly think there is a good person in there. I truly think he would take a bullet for his team, whereas Hardy might shoot it. I would leave my kids with Dez for the day and not think twice. Hardy- I wouldn't let them near them at this time.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. The double standards are hilarious. They may be two different people but they have both equally caused distractions on and off the field. One is defended and the other everybody wants gone. I want both gone, period.

I really thought we would trade him at the deadline. NoW I hear only 3 teams , including Dallas, were interested in him in the offseason. One was TB.

One guy has played 5 yrs, the other has played 5 games. Come on Earl, there is no double standard.

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

The only thing Dez has ever really pissed me off about was when he refused to carry Roy Williams pads.

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

In other words - Dez has skins up on the wall, Hardy has done nothing but cause trouble. Now if he is gonna stay I hope he gets 10 sacks in the next 5 games. We are all a little hypocritical in some way about this team. I mean this fighting on the sideline shit is minor compared to what Irvin , Big E, Haley , and others did in the 90s.

I never saw anyone defend Dez and say she deserved it. That would be an asinine comment.
note - not saying it didn't happen on here, just that I didn't see it said and I struggle to think anyone could really mean that if they did say it.

 

[Earl Stevens]

Yeah, and in that five years, we have put up with Dez's shit the entire time. Have you forgotten that we had to have people escort Dez just to keep him out of trouble? The same Cowboy fans that defend all the bullshit that we've put up with Dez, can't handle Hardy for 5 games. It's hilarious.

Des didn't beat the shit out of his mom, he slapped her with his hat from what I remember. Apples and oranges to compare a baseball cap to a bathtub and machine gun couch.

Hardy could be a saint since joining and I wouldn't want his ass here.

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

i see it different. Yes Dez had has moments of being a baby on the sidelines or yelling at somebody. Yes him and Patmon fought. Look it's like I said I'm not against giving the guy a second chance but since those pictures came out Hardy has done nothing . The Eagles back up Tackle owned his ass and then talked about it after the game. Yesterday - 1 tackle.

Everything being said here is proving my point. Defending one problem child and jettisoning another.

Just because Greg Hardy has done worse to a female doesn't excuse Dez for all the shit he has done in his career here in Dallas. What Dez did gets swept under the rug by most Cowboy fans. He yells at the media. He yells at coaches. He fights teammates. All that is okay, because he didn't beat a woman to the inch of her life like Hardy. We all knew Hardy was a piece of shit when we brought him here and we all knew he did this to that woman long before the pictures came out. So because he does some things we don't like like disrespecting teammates and coaches, let's cut him? Things that Dez Bryant has done? Laughable. What Greg Hardy has done since he played his first game as Cowboy is no different than what Dez has done.

100% correct.
Passion is what they'll tell ya.

Nice of you to join the party. To Earl- Irvin sliced a guy's throat for sitting in the wrong chair but we love him. U view it however you want. If you want him gone then that's fine

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

I mean what's the deal here against Dez? He had a bad game. He got into it last week with reporters. I don't get the comparison.

I'm not saying to excuse Dez's behavior. I'm saying that like you just said, they are different. Hardy doesn't deserve to wear the Star. Dez does. Hardy is the second lowest form of human, just above a pedo.

I think it is more a love of Hardy than a hate of Dez

You should read your own post again. How do you compare yelling at people and fighting with a teammate in practice ( happens all the time in camp ,right?) with beating the shit out if a woman?

I agree with you. Both clearly have anger management issues and likely need constant monitoring and help. Dez being Dez is accepted even though he does many of the same things as Hardy. There were rumors of a Dez video that were pretty bad that never came out. Where there is smoke there is fire. You can take chances on maybe one player but when 4 (3 after Randle's departure) of your key players have mental issues you are asking for trouble in my humble opinion.

Whose the other? Dez Hardy and......
