Bills scouts just said they are not worried about his past or his character. They also talked about Devin Thomas not being a one year wonder. Looks like it's going to be Hardy or Thomas on the Bills. The video is on www.buffalobills.com.

Good to hear and I agree with them. These character issue concerns are getting out of hand.

BILLS SAY WR HARDY NOT A CHARACTER RISK: The Bills have done their due diligence on upwards of 500 players for the past 10 months and that includes Indiana WR James Hardy, who has a domestic incident and two-game team suspension in his college career. Said Hardy at the combine about his transgressions.
"As a young man I never had anyone to actually sit me down and tell me things I've done wrong, so I've learned from my mistakes," said Hardy. "I can honestly tell you as a man right here that I've made mistakes in the past and I've learned from them and they won't happen again in any other area I'm at. That's all I can do and just show them the actual person that I am. That's what coach Hep (Terry Hoeppner) talked about a lot. He told me to just show the world the type of man you are. That's all I can do."
The Bills don't believe Hardy to be a character risk.
“I think he had a rough upbringing," said Bills scout Tom Roth. "I don’t think he’s a bad kid at all. He just had a rough upbringing and that’s the way I see it. You can’t knock him for that. You have to give him some credit just for what he’s been through. I wouldn’t say he’s a character risk.”

Michael Irvin, one of the greatest receivers ever, couldn't put down the fucking crack -- but he was really good, so it's OK. Meanwhile, before he's even given a fair shot, James Hardy is vilified for a domestic dispute that has long been water under/over the bridge (whatever the saying is).
Let he who hasn't made an error cast the first ghey; Hardy in '08.
