"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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack

      Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.

      Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
