    Just pointing out one "wide receiver in that league" with whom I've see little evidence of narcissism.

    OK. Well, I don't know much about him. I'm sure not EVERY wide receiver, or professional athlete for that matter, is in lockstep personality-wise. But a lot of them are raging narcissists, I think there is little doubt about it. Probably have to be to do that job, a lot like politics.

    I love how people talk about Dez Bryant as if he were a super-ass and constant trouble maker in college. Dude was suspended for trying to get better at his position. How ridiculous is that?

    Besides, someone said Roy Williams couldn't carry Bryant's jock...agreed 100000%

    This is not a story--yet. When Bryant's nuts are on fire because someone put icy hot in his jock...then it's a story.
     
  4. I would agree - if that was the only thing that was done. But it's not. Rookies are put through all kinds of shit. Mental and physical and its hazing.

    Just be glad professional athletes don't haze sportswriters.

    Just curious:

    He was suspended for trying to get better at his position?

    I thought he was suspended initially for violating NCAA rules and subsequently declared ineligible for the season after it was discovered he lied to the face of the NCAA's assistant director of agent, gambling and amateurism activities.

    He lied because he knew what was going to happen if he said, "Yeah, I was hanging with Neon Deion."

    He was hanging with Deion for multiple reasons, one being help with his technique against one of the game's all-time great DBs. As well as financial advisement from one of the league's all-time great money blowers.

    Well, hanging with Deion for those reasons violates NCAA rules.

    He told the NCAA he didn't work out with Sanders and didn't work on football.

    Had he just told the truth when asked about the "meeting/dinner" his supension would not have been extended through the entire season.

    Side bar from current argument.

    Who the hell taught the writer how to use contractions? "Ya'll" Really?? Ugh.

    And I agree lying is bad and he should not have done so. But why the NCAA thinks they can suspend a kid for trying to plan his life and get tips on improving his skill is beyond me.

    Bunch of cracker-ass fags.
