Good ol’ training camp. It’s that time of the year when football is in the air, not to mention flying banners with divisional smack talk.
Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy contributed to some of that recently, helping a GoFundMe page for Cowboys fans. The purpose of the page was to raise money to fly a banner over the Philadelphia Eagles’ training camp that read “We Got the Division.” According to the page, the idea was started when the fans “received word that the Eagles fans were going to be flying a banner over Cowboys practice that reads ‘WE GOT DEMARCO'”, referencing, of course, the acquisition of Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray.
But after soliciting Hardy’s help, the slogan was changed to “WE STILL DEM BOYZ! #SACKSCOMIN”

Dallas plays at Philly in the second week of the regular season on Sept. 20. Not suiting up for the Cowboys that game will be Hardy, who is set to serve a four-game suspension stemming from his domestic violence arrest last year.
