Adam Schefter discussed his interview with Greg Hardy.

In the interview, Hardy denied ever hitting a woman.

“I went in with the idea that this guy is a monster," said Schefter. "I came out of there with a very different feeling. I came out of there feeling this is a guy who has managed to say the wrong things at the wrong time. I found him to be a changed kind of guy. A guy that realized he did makes some mistakes, could have handled things differently. … I’ll say this, he wasn’t waivering. He was adamant.”

Hardy was found guilty of assaulting a female and communicating threats in a bench trial. Hardy appealed the decision, requesting a jury trial. Chargers were dropped when his former girlfriend failed to cooperate with the trial.
