导出博客文章Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell viewed bringing in Greg Hardy
for a workout last week as a fact-finding mission rather than an attempt to
bolster their pass rush.Caldwell said Monday that the Jaguars didnt intend to
sign Hardy after his two-day workout last Wednesday and Thursday but wanted to
see him on the field and meet with him so they would have enough information
about the free-agent defensive end should they decide to pursue him in the
future.It was really to find out more about him so we dont have any questions
going into the season, Caldwell said. Theres no what-ifs for us right now. There
could have been a what-if Week 3, Week 4 or into the preseason, but we kind of
have our questions answered as to our game plan for him.... It was an
opportunity for us -- heres a guy that was a franchise defensive end two years
ago sitting out on the street -- to bring him in, work him out and try to find
out the facts where hes at, the truth behind everything that surrounds him and
just do our homework.Caldwell said the team spoke with Hardy about his domestic
violence conviction and eventual dismissal as well as events that transpired
last season while he was a member of the Dallas Cowboys. However, Caldwell said
he wouldnt go into the specifics of what the team asked and Hardys responses.We
brought him in and he did a workout, Caldwell said. Its not often you get your
chance to put your hands on a player of that caliber to work him out. So well
just see where its at. We have no imminent plans of signing him at this point,
but it was good to get him in here and find out about him.Hardy, 27, has 40
sacks in six seasons, including six last season. The Cowboys did not renew his
contract, and he went unsigned during free agency.Hardy was suspended for the
first four games of the 2015 season for violating the NFLs personal conduct
policy in connection with a 2014 domestic violence incident. He was accused of
assaulting then-girlfriend Nicole Holder; he allegedly threw her into a bathtub
and on a futon covered with guns and tried to choke her. A judge in Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina, found him guilty on charges of domestic violence in July
2014.Hardy denied the charges and said Holder was under the influence of alcohol
and was angry because he told her to leave his home. He appealed the conviction,
and the case was dismissed in February 2015 after prosecutors said they were
unable to locate Holder. The prosecutors also said Holder had reached a
settlement with Hardy.In addition, Hardy stirred controversy throughout the 2015
season with several comments, including saying he was going to come out guns
blazing in his return to the field. Hardy also shoved an assistant coach and got
into a shouting match on the sideline with Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant.Caldwell
said he was aware of a potential public relations backlash if the team were to
sign Hardy and said that decision would not be made lightly.Domestic violence is
a serious issue, Caldwell said. Theres no place for it in the world, let alone
the NFL. But I think for us, were going to do whats best for our team. We have
52 players that want to win. We have a coaching staff that wants to win as much
as our fan base. Were going to turn over every rock, but not at any price.The
Jaguars lack a veteran edge rusher and did have conversations with Hardys agent
during free agency, but did not pursue him at that time.Jacksonville tried to
sign Olivier Vernon in free agency, but he agreed to a five-year, $85 million
deal with the New York Giants. The Jaguars top two edge rushers are Dante
Fowler, Jr., who missed his rookie season in 2015 after suffering a torn left
ACL on the first day of rookie minicamp, and rookie Yannick Ngakoue, the teams
third-round draft pick.

Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel

. According to a report from the Winnipeg Free Press, the Bombers will name
Acting GM Kyle Walters to the post full time. When seven-time All-Star Kevin
Durant joined the Golden State Warriors?after they set an NBA record with 73
wins last season, nearly everyone crowned them the 2016-17 champion?before the
season even began.And as with superteams of the past, the Warriors
understood?they suddenly had a large target on their backs?and would likely be
booed in most road arenas this season.Rather than shy away from the intense
scrutiny and pressure to perform, the Warriors have embraced their role as Super
Villains -- even posing for a team photo in front of balloons that literally
spell it out for everyone to see.Forward Draymond Green posted thee photo on his
Instagram account, along with another team shot that shows center JaVale McGee
holding what appears to be controls to a drone-operated camera during the
Warriors off day on Friday.ddddddddddddGolden State coach Steve Kerr reportedly
inspired the Super Villains moniker by having it printed on T-shirts that he
handed out to his players during the preseason.The Warriors entered the weekend
with a 7-2 record. They did not lose their second game last season until Dec.
