I think the point is that when the Bills drafted Hardy, they were aware of some character issues, but dimissed them based on his word that those things were behind him. By being involved in the gun pulling incident, it brings bad press to James Hardy, to the Buffalo Bills organiation and to the scouting department that convinced the organization that the so-called charater issues were behind him. Regardless of whether of not the gun went off, after having the Bills invest highly in this young man, he should know better than to put himself in a situation like this. I, for one, am embarrassed that this guy is a Buffalo Bill.
