Cowboys' Jones: I welcome Dez Bryant-Greg Hardy sideline spat

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he "welcomes" the kind of passion that led to defensive end Greg Hardy and injured wide receiver Dez Bryant getting into an altercation on the sidelines Sunday.

"From my perspective, I welcome that," Jones said following the game, once again promoting the fiery temperaments of his players.

The Cowboys, including Jones, all echoed the same sentiment: that Hardy was simply trying to "fire up" the special teams when the shoving and yelling took place, reports Jenny Vrentas of The MMQB.

Hardy, however, had no comment on the incident.

Unlike his support of Hardy and Bryant, Jones didn't give Matt Cassel a ringing endorsement, saying he was unsure of his confidence level in the quarterback.
