Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Releases Statement Supporting Greg Hardy

“While we did not have access to the photos that became public today, we were and are aware of the serious nature of this incident. We as an organization take this very seriously. We do not condone domestic violence. We entered into the agreement with Greg fully understanding that there would be scrutiny and criticism. We have given Greg a second chance. He is a member of our team and someone who is grateful for the opportunity he has been given to move forward with his life and his career.”

Jimmy Johnson once said, " "I'd sign Charles Manson if he could run a 4.3 forty".

Jerry Jones and his Chris Christie loving ass can go straight to hell for all I care.

Heard on a New York City radio show: "Was Jeffrey Dahmer's biggest mistake not having a good jump shot?"

Instead he flaunts his behavior. Meanwhile, Jones continues to double down on the stupidity.

This just came out today. Deadspin was able to publish the police photos. It's not pretty.

I expect Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth will find a way to defend Goodell during the SNF telecast.

Jones did back Hardy a couple of games ago when he lost it on the sidelines with a coach.

That was before the photos came out.

Hardy paid his ex that he beat the shit out of to not show up to court and the charges were dropped.

Wished she went forward, but maybe the money trumped (sorry) what she wanted to deal with.

Hardy is a fucking scumbag and so is Jones.

The best Hardy could respond to show that he respects women was that "he hoped Tom Brady's wife's sister showed up at the game'' to which my husband thought I was making that up when I told him.

Hardy is a fucking scumbag and so is Jones.

Forgot to add Roger, but he was too busy with DeflateHate.

that reduced his suspension from 10 games to 4. Legally the NFL's hands are tied in this matter. Letting this scum play is 100% on Jerry Jones.

'Just had to say I express my regret 4 what happened in past. I'm Dedicated to being the best person & teammate that I can be ... But mostly I am Grateful 4 the opportunity to play in NFL.'" link


TRANSLATION: "I'm grateful that the NFL does not discriminate against psychopaths and felons who are extra talented, and that it's made me rich enough to buy off my victims."

Which qualifies Greg Hardy to be added to my "Next Aaron Hernandez Award" list.
