Stay the [expletive] away,” Bryant yelled to a group of reporters, via USA Today. “Why don’t you all get the [expletive] out of here? This is our [expletive] locker room. You [expletive] dirty [expletive].”
Glad he is not from OU, what a baby.

The Cowboys attraction to players like Bryant. They need to clean up their act. Jones needs to sell his team, fire himself

Jerry should have built a big tent instead of the stadium. It would better
serve that circus he's putting of the field every Sunday. But he thinks
he's cutting a fat hog every game.

Glad I don't really give a **** about the NFL. :D

Yeah, I pretty much bagged it when Dandy Don, Frank and Howard left MNF.

(point of fact...those three would get boiled on whiskey during the Monday night football telecast...ah, those crazy 70's):rolleyes:

That's why I love college football. I watch NFL just something to watch on Sunday.
I've tried watching it in the past few years, it just isn't the same game it used to be back in the day. Everything I have to do around the house gets done on Sundays.

Umm to be fair that was an appropriate response to the media after they all ran with an incorrect story that Dez was dogging on an injured Seahawks player. I didn't see any retractions or apologies today after it came out that they were wrong.

What is sad it that Jerry has basically made this team an after though as far as potential Super Bowl champion....at the same time?...the value of the franchise has grown from 150MM when he bought it in '89 to the current estimated value of 4 billion. The highest in the NFL.

This isn't going to go good for Cowboy Haters. Wars & Politicians come & go, but Cowboy haters are always gonna hate.

BTW, if you don't know who he is or too young to remember, Google Hollywood Henderson.

This isn't surprising. Dez Bryant has rarely shown any class going back to his college days. Jerry got what he deserves with Bryant. And, Dez isn't going to change.

Dez Bryant is not a bad guy. He has never done drugs. He isn't late to meetings. He may not have the model looks of a Brady, but the fact is, Tom Brady & our Adrian Peterson has had more off the field & on the field issues than Bryant.

If you guys don't like him because he's from OSU then say so, but to dislike him otherwise, IMO, some of you are mis-informed. The Rolling Stone just had a pretty damn good article on him from childhood to his most recent contract dealings with the Cowboys.

Ya I'm no Cowdoys fan or a Dez fan at all. But Dez was pissed about a reporter claiming he was happy about Lockette getting carted off the field from that concussion. If people would read the next 2 paragraphs after what the OP quoted in the article, they would read this,

Bryant appeared to be upset with a reporter who had posted a Vine of the wide receiver. The caption alleged Bryant was celebrating Lockette's concussion, but the Cowboys star vehemently denied the allegation.

"I won't ever, ever, ever wish bad on a player that's been knocked down," Bryant said. "Not once did I say, 'That's what you get.' I got on one knee and prayed for that man. I got on one knee and prayed for him. Don't put clips together and do that."

Well believe the headlines as you wish. But I've read much deeper. I'll see if I can find the scoop on his arrest. Also...I'm also pretty sure that being questioned is not being arrested, much less charged and much further away from being found guilty.

Here you go... I do believe that he gets a bad wrap because of his NCAA dealings and now he's a Dallas Cowboy. This is one of the better articles I read on him. I encourage you to read it.

That "thing with my mom" is equally obscure. Angela Bryant, who lives close to Dez outside Dallas and has had no trouble with the law in six years, says he'd been arguing with one of his brothers over a bottle of Sprite taken from his fridge. "Next thing, they're at my house raising their voices, and I had to step between 'em to try to squash it," she says. Indignant, Dez shoved her aside to continue shouting; Angela called the cops not because she'd been pushed but because "I couldn't calm Dez down no kind of way."

He was charged with a misdemeanor for domestic assault, though Angela urged the DA not to file: "Dez got a temper that he needed to get a hold of, not to get hit with a case." Bryant's charges were dismissed after he agreed to counseling. Since then he's had no other encounters with law enforcement.

Just a matter of time......................
Character concerns were a reason he slid to the Cowboys at 24th overall in the 2010 NFL draft, and he had some bumps in the road as a pro. He wasbooted from a mall for not pulling up his sagging pants, there were reports he owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to jewelers and there was an incident last year in which he allegedly hit his mother in the face with a baseball cap and ripped her T-shirt and bra, though she didn't press charges.

Broaddus, who served as the assistant director of pro personnel with the Cowboys from 1999-2004, talked about the "constant worry" of a front office dealing with a player like Bryant, but Bryant and the team deserve credit for him overcoming his past and some of the people that were bad influences to become one of the best receivers in the NFL.

The team put in measures to keep a watchful eye on Bryant off the field, including a security detail and a curfew, and he had a breakout season under those conditions. Bryant had 1,382 yards and 12 touchdowns last season, and is just 24 years old. The Cowboys took a chance on Bryant, and it seems to have turned out well.

And I'm sure the haters are lined up, ready to say, "I told you so."

My point is, while he's never going to earn the NFL's Man of the Year Award but he's better than most know about him and/or hear about him. Especially compared to other players currently in College Ball and the NFL.

I beg to differ, there are more good guys than bad in college and NFL. Yeah a lot of players have bad lives growing up, it does not give them a pass or an excuse to be an ******* that includes Mr. Peterson.

How do you know he has never used drugs?

He is a punk...he fits in well in Dallas. I know we don't have a NFL team but I've never understood how an Oklahoma person can root for a Texas team

That's what makes it hard to watch NFL, I root for whatever team that has former Sooners playing. The Cowboys act so arrogant, and like I said have attraction to players with character issues. Dez is a spoiled brat and Jerry probably gives him extra attention.

I have never been a Cowboy fan. I followed the Oilers when I lived in Houston and when Earl was playing, but I have to admit rooting for the Boys when Barry was coaching them. It still hurt though.

I am in the minority and full disclosure I am a cowboy fan. I won't get into being an OU fan rooting for a Texas team, with all do respect that seems strange at best. Dez has made mistakes most notably the incident with his mother. I would suggest considering his childhood with the microcosm of him being asked if his mother was a prostitute during a draft interview. The pressures of making it and being responsible for any number of people. His abilities on the field are unquestionable as well as his passion. Many are rubbed by his candor. The latest event he was vindicated by an opposing player's account. Dez has shown growth and done what has been asked of him by the Cowboys. I am not trying to change anyone mind just offer some perspective. I would guess many people have some of the same feelings towards someone like the Boz.

I suspect that many give Boz a pass because he was a Sooner. It is what it is.

Here is an example of someone to admire with a bad childhood.
Knowshon Moreno
Continuing a long line of football excellence out of the state of New Jersey, Knowshon Moreno overcame a tough childhood to become one of the most versatile backs in the NFL. As a child, he bounced around from homeless shelter to homeless shelter with his father in the New York City area, which is never a stable growing environment for anyone, let alone a 10-year-old kid.

But when Knowshon turned 11, that all changed. Thanks to some loving family in Jersey, Moreno finally had the chance to focus and be great at something he never knew he could do. Every time he takes the field, Knowshon remembers all that he’s been through and all that he’s overcome just to stand there in that uniform. There is a story behind those tears.

That's a great story, but unfortunately, not every future NFL player w/ a bad childhood has a new family to reach out and offer a great, stable, environment. Some get there irregardless and in doing so, in most cases, alot less polished and educated. But they get there.
