Dez Bryant establishes the real enemy: The media!

[Dick Whitman]

Who knew, right? Very original tack for the Cowboys rookie to take after the hazing controversy.

"I didn't know nothing about no tradition," Bryant said. "The only thing about me ... when I try to do something right, ya'll try and turn it negative and I don't feel like that's right. I'm trying my best to do the right thing but it seems like I can't do the right thing because every little thing that I do ya'll watching it and try to make a big deal out of it."

This probably irks me more than it should. Cowards. No better way to put it. Absolute cowards. Instead of standing up and either saying, "I should have known better" or, "I stand behind my actions," the guy takes the coward's way out, and rallies his teammate around a shared "enemy," a bunch of guys making $40K a year to do a grueling job. Yellow-bellied cowards.

I'm not sure if cowardly is the right word, but I agree that what Bryant did is bull****. Either refuse and stand by your decision or give in. Blaming the media for his own issue is just ridiculous. Don't want the media to report about you causing a problem? Don't cause a problem, jackass.

So he didn't carry some scrubs pads? Who gives a ****? Why this non-story is such a big ****ing deal is beyond me.

The pads story and the aftermath shows exactly why so many teams passed on this guy. His talent is not going to overcome his immense stupidity and overinflated sense of importance. He just doesn't get it, as they say. It takes a lot to get me to side with Roy Williams, but Bryant did it. Congratulations, moron.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

He's the perfect Jerry Jones Cowboy. An incredibly talented idiot.

**** like this is why i hate the NFL.

Not the fact Bryant wouldn't carry Williams' pads but the fact we've been subjected to two days of analysis of the fact Bryant wouldn't carry Williams' pads.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

Dez Bryant wasn't drafted to carry pads. The whole story is dumb.

 

[outofplace]

I never even heard the story until Bryant decided to be even more of an asshole and blame the media for his problems.

 

[Boom_70]

Roy Williams couldn't carry Dez Bryant's jock

 

[mustangj17]

Blown way out of proportion. Who gives a ****? Honestly. I could care less. Heard it once and that was enough. The fact that we have a thread, a day later proves, this is just a joke. Way out of proportion.

 

[outofplace]

The thread isn't about the incident. It is about Bryant's asshole reaction to the incident being reported.

 

[Boom_70]

Dez Bryant is a man. He should not have to carry someone else's shoulder pads.

It took a couple years, but it looks like the Cowboys finally found a replacement for Terrell Owens.
Can't wait until the first time this guy gets arrested and starts blaming "the media" for reporting it.

Not only that, Bryant is a guy who is in the NFL to win. He's not there for the free cocaine and strippers like the rest of the Cowboys.

No rookie was drafted to "carry pads," you idiot. But there are rituals that result in team bonding, should players choose to be part of that bonding. They didn't ask him to drink until he puked or let some sadistic psych major paddle his rear end, which happens in every frat house in America.

It was simply, "carry the pads." And if Dez Bryant cared about being part of a team, he would have done it.

All that said, it was incredibly overblown, but so is everything involving America's Most Overrated Team.

Everyone else in the NFL just wants to lose, I guess.

 

[Football_Bat]

I'm surprised we're still on this and haven't moved on to pix of Marty Jr.

 

[Shaggy]

The media did make too big of a deal out of this.

But Dez Bryant is basically a wildly unintelligent human being. So I don't need him preaching to me about the media's role in the world.

Shouldn't Wade Phillips tell the media to pick on him, because, after all he's.... 65?
