Bills WR James Hardy Releases Statement Regarding Reported Altercation w/ Father

James Hardy released a statement on Wednesday regarding the reported altercation with his father. As reprinted on the team’s official web site, Hardy says, “I realize what the public perception could be pertaining to this incident, however that was not the reality of the situation. This situation that has been blown out of proportion has been very hurtful and frustrating for me and my father. There was a misunderstanding and a misinterpretation of the situation. I would like to first apologize to the fans of Buffalo and the Bills organization for any distractions this may have caused.” Published reports claim Hardy was beating up his father and had pulled a gun on the older man. It sounds like the Bills have done their part to figure out what happened and are ready to move forward with the rookie receiver. Hardy hopefully won’t have this hanging over him as he tries to climb the depth chart this summer.
