"The dispute between Hardy and Coleman arose from Hardy's questioning Coleman's effort during conditioning drills, a source said. Hardy is working out with his new teammates after signing with the team earlier this month. He was suspended 10 games for a violation of the league's personal conduct policy following charges of domestic abuse last year, though he's permitted to take part in the team's offseason program."

Sounds like Coleman was the little bitch in this.

If Hardy was jumping his shit for slacking off during drills, good.

Having your best defensive player calling out scrubs on effort is a good thing. GFY Goodell.

I also question why Garafolo, Marvez or whomever are reporting something that pretty much happens all the time. But since it was that Choke A Bitch Psychopath Hardy OMG!

Cowboys Incident, Hardy Vs Coleman: ‘Volatile’ Vs ‘Goofy’
April 24, 2015 1:50 PM
Mike Fisher
IRVING (105.3 THE FAN) – Cowboys defensive lineman Greg Hardy is by reputation a volatile guy. Cowboys defensive lineman Devon Coleman is, by reputation a “goofy’’ guy.
So it’s not necessarily shocking that the two might conflict in a verbal confrontation on Friday as first reported by Fox Sports with confirmation from Coleman’s agent, Michael Loeffler.
A source tells 105.3 The Fan that “it was an argument between two grown men during strength-and-conditioning … got salty … not uncommon.’’
The dispute between Hardy (a new veteran) and Coleman (coming off his rookie season) was a result of Hardy’s questioning Coleman’s work ethic — and indeed, as 105.3 The Fan reported in February, that same question is why the Cowboys hesitated to re-up Coleman for this season.
It’s also true that none of this is “uncommon,’’ though Hardy — suspended for 10 games for a violation of the NFL conduct policy (and involvement with a domestic-abuse case) — has a spotlight on him.
And indeed, Yahoo is alleging that the argument escalated when Coleman called Hardy “a woman-beater.”
This was a verbal conflict, not a fight; yet news of the argument traveled so quickly that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was asked about it on Friday. He was not aware of the argument … and maybe shouldn’t bother being aware of it, as innocuous as it seems to have been.
But maybe Hardy brings this spotlight on himself with his volatility. And maybe Coleman brings it on himself with his goofiness.

Sounds to me more like lazy dude got called out for being lazy. Lazy dude retaliated with a cheap shot because he had nothing else he could use. Not only is this a non story but it just makes me hate Coleman who I used to at least sort of like.

If Coleman has a problem with him, I don't care. Witten seems good...
Jason Witten on Greg Hardy: 'Nothing but a great teammate'
Jeffrey Kahn - 4 hours ago
Before the Dallas Cowboys signed Greg Hardy in March, the front office had many meetings with the defensive end to evaluate whether or not he'd be a good fit for the team.
Even though he's been suspended 10 games without pay by the NFL, something that would have happened regardless of where he ended up, Hardy's already made a good impression on some of his new teammates.
That includes team captain Jason Witten.
"Our job now is to bring him in as a teammate and try to encourage him to be the best he can," Witten told NBC's Pat Doney. "Really for the last three or four weeks, (he's been the) hardest working guy in there. Just been nothing but a great teammate."
That's a huge compliment coming from the 11-time Pro Bowler and future Hall of Famer. For the Cowboys sake, it's good to know that the player they took a gamble on is already proving to be the "right kind of guy" in the locker room.
The NFLPA is currently appealing Hardy's suspension on his behalf in hopes to get the amount of games he'd have to sit out reduced to six games. Some believe his suspension could be reduced to two games.
