Greg Hardy is under a microscope nowadays. His every move is being watched, analyzed and often criticized. You’d think the Dallas Cowboys defensive end would avoid confrontation.
Or not.
Hardy, who berated teammates and coaches during a sideline blowup earlier this season, had to be separated from teammate Demarcus Lawrence during Sunday’s 10-6 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Cowboys Radio Network sideline reporter Kristi Scales.
According to @KristiCowboy — Demarcus Lawrence and Greg Hardy were nose-to-nose on the sideline; had to be separated #Cowboys

The altercation apparently wasn’t anything serious, as Hardy and Lawrence seemingly buried the hatchet almost immediately.

Perhaps this is just an instance of nitpicking and looking for a reason to pile on Hardy. He sure has opened himself up to such scrutiny through his actions, though, so don’t feel bad if you find yourself rolling your eyes every time the volatile lineman does something that seems stupid.
