Reporter can’t take Jerry Jones calling Greg Hardy a leader (Video)
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones thinks Greg Hardy is a leader and this reporter can’t handle it.
Greg Hardy has himself quite a game for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night and a lot of it rubbed fans and viewers the wrong way. However, one person who doesn’t seem to notice is Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
The Cowboys were already under fire for signing Hardy in March, while he was still being investigated for domestic assault and was suspended for the offense by the NFL. Then came Sunday’s game, where Hardy not only got into a heated exchange with wide receiver Dez Bryant, but also slapped a clipboard out of the hands of the special teams coordinator.
One would think that would rankle the feathers of Jones. However, the Cowboys owner continues to stick his head in the sand. Instead of admonishing his defender for being immature and not being a team player, Jones went the complete opposite route and said, “He’s one of the real leaders on this team and he earns it.”

I’m not sure what tape Jones was watching, but it is obvious he isn’t privy to the same game video that we are. In fact, if you watch closely, even the reporter in the background can’t seem to wrap her mind around what Jones just said. She’s either severely constipated or she’s trying to choke down a laugh in favor of journalistic integrity.
For Jerry Jones to take this stance is simply ridiculous. Regardless of fire or his desire to “get guys ready”, there is a way to deliver a message and it is clear to practically anyone outside of Jones to realize that Greg Hardy wasn’t doing anything to motivate his team on those sidelines.
