Jason Garrett said the Cowboys did their due diligence on Greg Hardy.
Lisa Friel's due diligence was far better.
The NFL made a necessary statement on Wednesday, suspending Hardy for 10 games in the wake of a domestic violence incident involving the Dallas defensive lineman. It was Friel, the former Manhattan prosecutor, who led the league's investigation. She is clearly unafraid of aggressive fact-finding in her new role. She's also unafraid of waiting on a conviction to act.
"The NFL's investigation concluded that Hardy violated the Personal Conduct Policy by using physical force against Nicole Holder in at least four instances," the league's release states.
