导出博客文章Former Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy was formally charged with a
felony count of cocaine possession by a Dallas County grand jury on Monday.Hardy
was arrested Sept. 26 after being pulled over for failure to signal a left turn,
and a search of his vehicle revealed what police said was cocaine and an item
containing marijuana remnants, according to police documents.If Hardy is found
guilty, he could be fined up to $10,000 and spend at least 180 days in
jail.Hardy told police at the time of the arrest that he didnt know what was in
a bag that police said contained cocaine, and Hardy said somebody gave him the
bag at a party the previous night.Hardy said he had been passing his wallet
around at the party because he was paying for everybody and that must have been
when the baggie was put in his wallet, according to the police report.The report
also made reference to a couple of gun club membership cards in Hardys wallet.
When the NFL suspended Hardy for 10 games last season over a domestic violence
case stemming from an incident that occurred when he played for the Carolina
Panthers in 2014, the league cited the presence of guns in his apartment in the
ruling. An arbitrator reduced the ban to four games.Hardy, 28, played for the
Cowboys last season after spending the first five years of his career with the
Panthers. He had six sacks in 12 games for Dallas in 2015 after missing the
first four games of the season due to the suspension.In his first extended
public comments after the completion of his suspension, he said he would come
out guns blazing and made inappropriate comments about New England Patriots
quarterback Tom Bradys wife. On at least two occasions, Cowboys coach Jason
Garrett had to speak to Hardy about his Twitter feed. Owner and general manager
Jerry Jones also had a sit-down meeting with Hardy later in the season.The
charges from his 2014 domestic violence case were dropped and his record
expunged, but in November, Deadspin released photos from the night of the
alleged incident that showed bruising to his ex-girlfriends back, jaw and
feet.In an interview with ESPN, Hardy said he was an innocent man and denied he
had ever put his hands on a woman. Of the photos, he said: Pictures are
pictures, and they can be made to look like whatever they want to.Hardy remains
unsigned. In April, Jones said he would not re-sign Hardy.

last week during the grievance filed by the players union to overturn Rodriguezs
211-game suspension. A person familiar with the hearing, speaking on condition
of anonymity, told The Associated Press on Saturday that Manfred testified the
sport wasnt concerned whether Bosch distributed performance-enhancing drugs to
minors because MLBs interest was his relationship with players under
investigation.

Jacksonville Jaguars can reach another miserable milestone Sunday against
Denver.With a loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Broncos (7-4), the
Jaguars (2-9) would become the fifth team in NFL history to post double-digit
losses in six consecutive seasons.Its a dubious distinction Jacksonville surely
would rather avoid. To do that, though, the Jags need to win out. That seems
like an ultra-long shot for a team that has lost six in a row and already
secured its ninth consecutive non-winning season.Its definitely frustrating
because you always think year after year that this could be the year to turn
things around, and when things dont go the way you expect, its so easy to get
down, said veteran defensive end Tyson Alualu, one of three guys who have been
on Jacksonvilles roster for six seasons. This is by far the most talented team
Ive been a part of. We know thats not the issue.That just shows that this is a
team that could be a contender in this league and we just have to find answers
to how we need to finish games and win games.Only four others have lost as
consistently often as the Jaguars. Tampa Bay had 12 consecutive seasons
(1983-94) with double-digits losses. Detroit (2001-06), Oakland (2003-09) and
Cleveland (2008-13) werent nearly as inept as the Buccaneers, but they still
managed to post at least six straight seasons with 10 or more losses.The Jaguars
seem like a lock to join the exclusive -- and depressive -- club. After all,
they are winless in four games at EverBank Field this year and havent beaten a
team thats finished with a winning record since 2012.Jacksonville seemingly will
catch a break with Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian sidelined because of a
sprained left foot, leaving rookie Paxton Lynch to make his second career start
and first on the road.Denver needs a victory to keep pace in the crowded AFC
playoff picture. Coach Gary Kubiaks team has dropped four of its last seven
games, including two of three on the road. The Broncos trail Oakland and Kansas
City in the AFC West.I dont pay attention to that stuff, star linebacker Von
Miller said. We just are trying to put our best football out there. That is all
we can do. We still have five weeks left. It is a long way. Taking it one game
at a time, playing as good as we possibly can and whatever happens, happens.The
Jaguars, meanwhile, continue to play hard despite mounting losses and
speculation about coach Gus Bradleys job security. Players, though, seem to
realize theyre playing out the string down the stretch.ddddddddddddEvery time
you come to work, its like a job interview because these coaches go other
places, Alualu said. This league is all about what have you done for me lately,
so its about producing on the field and making plays if you want to stick
around.Here are some other things to know about the Broncos and Jaguars:GROUNDED
GROUND GAME: The Broncos struggling ground game took another huge hit when
battering ram rookie fullback Andy Janovich underwent season-ending surgery on
his left ankle Tuesday. When healthy, Janovich added toughness to the group
thats been missing since C.J. Andersons knee surgery in October. The Broncos
likely will play more two-tight end sets now with A.J. Derby and Virgil
Green.PLUCKING BRONCOS: The Jaguars have signed a free agent from Denver in each
of the last three seasons, and only defensive tackle Malik Jackson has panned
out . Jacksonville signed guard Zane Beadles to a five-year, $30 million
contract in 2014 that included $12.5 million guaranteed. Beadles struggled and
was cut after two seasons. Jacksonville gave tight end Julius Thomas a
five-year, $46 million deal last year that included $24 million guaranteed.
Thomas missed four games in 2015 because of a broken bone in his hand and two
more this year because of elbow and back injuries.BRONCOS INFIGHTING: Kubiak
insists the incident was an emotional, heat-of-the-moment thing, but Aqib Talibs
shove of Jordan Norwood after the returners second muffed punt last weekend
might foretell fractures in the locker room. Denvers dazzling defense has
carried an inept offense and inconsistent special teams all season, just like
last year. Talib said he apologized and Norwood said he accepted. The Broncos
own the best pass defense in the league and are fourth in total defense, but
their offense is 19th because their O-line cant protect the passer or bore holes
for running backs.DEPLETED BACKFIELD: The Jaguars would like to keep the ball on
the ground against Denver, which ranks 27th against the run. But running back
Chris Ivory (hamstring) wont play and backup T.J. Yeldon is still recovering
from an ankle injury. So Jacksonville might have to count on seldom-used reserve
