"Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Dez Bryant said he didn't know about the tradition of carrying a veteran's shoulder pads, and said Tuesday that he will take care of the matter."

"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."

Right, I guess you are a ruh-tard after all.

That's some classic Agent-speak (albeit worded in his own fashion) right there- take criticism of a mistake and turn it on the press... dang, the dude hasn't played 1 pro game yet and already "y'all" (the press) are after him.

Delicious. He's going to be entertaining watching in post-game interviews

Dez Bryant's Wonderlic was like, 16. But, look at Chris Johnson. Not the brightest sounding guy in the world...2,000 yard season.

How he said it makes no difference to me. I've long since realized that a lot of the players entering the NFL these days are not the brightest light bulbs, so I have absolutely no expectation for adherence to the rules of the English language.

That said, it's not about how he said something, but what he was intimating with his words. He's already taken on a "me vs the press" attitude and the cat hasn't even felt the real brunt of a post-game presser when/if he shits the bed in a game.

Dez Bryant is the best player to come out of this draft. He shouldnt have to carry anyones pads especially that loser Roy Williams.

yea, just like all the other HOFers to carried pads and didn't b**ch about it. not to mention the guys that are in the NFL right now that did it (and have already proven themselves at this level, and didn't say a peep. they are pads, not s**t

Yeah, that is a bit ridiculous. I do believe TOO much was made of this by the press, but all of the rookies were warned about these kind of things in the rookie symposium, I'm sure. The day he drops a TD pass that costs the team...you will see something from him that will rival A.I.'s "practice" speech.

Ike Reese (former Eagle who has a radio show) mentioned almost every team has at least 1 player each year who refuses to participate in the "hazing". He mentioned J Trotter was that way when they were rookies and Trotter was drafted in the 3rd round. Ike said he had to always carry extra pads and pick up extra lunch/dinner bills because Trotter refused to do it.

Dez does have a legit point but he is playing in a market that has a brutal media and he will be under their microscope for years to come because of the "baggage" and expectations he brings to "America's team". Suck it up and get used to it Dez, it isn't going away.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
