Gregory McKarl Hardy (born July 28, 1988), is an American football defensive end for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the University of Mississippi ("Ole Miss"), and was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft. Hardy was named to the Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro following the 2013 NFL season in which he recorded a career high 15 sacks. Hardy's 15 sacks in 2013 is currently the Carolina Panthers single season franchise record.
On July 15, 2014, Hardy was found guilty of assaulting an ex-girlfriend, and sentenced to 18 months probation as well as being suspended for 10 games by the NFL. The charges and suspension were later dropped after the victim failed to appear in court to testify, but Hardy's arrest and trial was the focus of considerable controversy.
Hardy attended Briarcrest Christian School in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was a three-sport letterman in football, basketball and track. In football, he helped lead his team to the state championship in 2004. As a senior, he was credited with 65 tackles, including 12 for loss and six sacks, while also receiving 48 passes for 268 yards. Hardy played with offensive tackle Michael Oher at both Briarcrest Christian School and Ole Miss. In basketball, he was an honorable mention All-State as a junior.
Will you be my darling?
I have become the cold floor lately
Without much, I'll lay and wait
And I'm a white car in the wake
Of your endless mourning
So tell me who's afraid of change
Yeah, they will tell you we're the same
But you know I treat you different
You're my pretty, pretty princess
Girl, you know it
Now that I'm gone
Scream your loudest
If he's in your basement
If he's touching your skin
I'll kill him
Held my brush to his head
Said I'd paint this whole town red
Crack my heart and spill it
Were you crying baby?
Were you surprised to find me waiting?
Cause I had half the nerve to leave
And then I lost the will to breathe
Now I'm choking on this
I'm choking, look at me
Now that I'm gone
Scream your loudest
If he's in your basement
If he's touching your skin
I'll kill him
Held my brush to his head
Said I'd paint this whole town red
Crack my heart and spill it
And spilled it
And spilled it
And spilled it
Oh, can we
Take a second, please
To breathe
Oh, can we
Take a second, please
To breathe
Scream your loudest
If he's in your basement
If he's touching your skin
I'll kill him
Held my brush to his head
Said I'd paint this whole town red
Crack my heart and spill it
Scream your loudest
If he's in your basement
If he's touching your skin
