As the Dallas Cowboys' season hangs in the balance, a pair of mercurial Pro Bowlers — wide receiver Dez Bryant and defensive end Greg Hardy — argued on the sidelines. Who could have seen that happening?
Shortly after Giants specialist Dwayne Harris returned a kick 100 yards to give New York a 27-20 lead on Sunday, FOX cameras found Bryant and Hardy in a heated discussion on the sidelines. According to multiple reports from media members in attendance, it appears Hardy was not happy with the special teams unit.
Greg Hardy and Devin Street went at it on the sideline for Cowboys. Hardy was out of control. Dez Bryant, DL trying to calm him down.

According to @KristiCowboy - Dez Bryant, Devin Street and others had to pull an irrate Greg Hardy away from the special teams unit #Cowboys

Just prior to Harris' return, Devin Street had made a remarkable 25-yard touchdown catch from Matt Cassel, pulling the Cowboys even with the Giants at 20-20 despite three turnovers by the Dallas offense. Hardy couldn't have been much happier when a muffed punt with 1:36 left gave the Giants a 27-20 victory.
The altercation won't help Hardy win anybody over after he was suspended for the first four games of the season due to a domestic violence incident. Bryant also has domestic abuse in his own past, as he was arrested in 2012 for allegedly slapping his mother. So, you'd think the organization would not be pleased to see them confronting each other on the sidelines, especially as Dallas fell to 2-4 and last in the division.
But that's apparently not the case, since Cowboys coach Jason Garrett didn't seem all that bothered by it.
Bryant wasn't all that worried, either. He was seen afterward telling Giants fans, "We still gon' run the East."

Garrett says exchange between Hardy, Dez and team "was not an issue at all - I was standing right there."
