Why is it that beating women seems to be forgivable while having potty mouth is not? The story on the OU frat is still running and yet Jerry pulls this. He and Stoops should be room mates.

Jones expected negative reaction after signing Hardy

 
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones downplayed the strong negative reaction after the team signed controversial defensive end Greg Hardy.

KPNX-TV reached Jones at the NFL owners meetings in Phoenix for his first on-camera comments since making the move.

"Nothing that we did not anticipate," he said. "Everything that we thought and everything we addressed relative to the issue of domestic violence, league sanctions, league requirements — all of that's addressed in the agreement."

Hardy signed with the Cowboys last Wednesday, inking a one-year deal that could be worth as much as $13 million.

Last summer, Hardy was convicted on domestic violence charges after his girlfriend said Hardy threatened to kill her.

Nicole Holder told police that last May — while in a jealous rage — Hardy threw her in a bathtub, pulled her by the hair, and threw her on a sofa covered with semi-automatic weapons.

Hardy appealed the conviction and the verdict was set aside when Hardy requested a jury trial. The case was dismissed last month after Holder failed to appear in court.

The local district attorney said he had information indicating a civil agreement had been reached between the two parties.

Because of the domestic violence case, Hardy's playing status is in limbo. He remains on the commissioner's exempt list, where he's been since the second week of the 2014 season.

Hardy met with league officials three weeks ago, and could still be facing a possible suspension under the NFL's new personal conduct policy.
