Twitter bio change led to another Garrett-Hardy conversation
Defensive end Greg Hardy hasn’t been a member of the Cowboys for all that long, but that hasn’t stopped him from compiling a healthy number of meetings with coach Jason Garrett about his public comments.
He had another one on Wednesday. Hardy changed his Twitter bio to proclaim himself “innocent until proven guilty” and share his opinion that “the unjust/prejudicial treatment of diff categories of people is discrimination.” The revision didn’t last long, likely because of Hardy’s chat with Garrett.
Multiple members of the Cowboys beat report that Garrett spoke to Hardy about the change. This is the fourth time that such a conversation has taken place with Hardy’s offseason tweet referencing 9/11 and his comments about Tom Brady’s wife Gisele Bundchen accounting for a couple of the other chats.
It’s been said that the definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. That could be a lesson to both Hardy and the Cowboys, although one has to wonder how many more times the Cowboys will want to go down this road for a player who hasn’t helped them avoid a 2-6 start to this season and whose contract provides him with more money every time he’s on the active roster this season.
While they’ve talked about contract extensions and being comfortable with having Hardy on the roster, the headaches may no longer be worth it if/when the Cowboys are eliminated from playoff contention in the coming weeks.
