"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.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      yeah, I can get a little of that.  But that's not what he is posting in his argument just now though.   He said people wouldn't even concede to the literal ability to do it when pressed on the literal ability.  I have never seen that.  He maintains it exists somewhere.  I mean, using anomaly games to make arguments about players just isn't the way.   There wasn't a defender within 10 yards of our guys on 2 of those 3 throws Sunday.  No one within 5 on the 3rd.   That's not Bryce Young answering questions about his play downfield..  That's Bryce Young taking advantage of coverage busts by a bad D.  Which hey, that's part of the game too.  Recognition and seeing the field.   It can't totally be dismissed.   That's still good play.  You want your QBs to make those plays.  But it's not getting into the long standing critique of BY IMO.

      Adam Thielen on Young

      Deserved, I wouldn’t use that word. Asked for? For sure. Am I upset over it? No.  People forget that AT was throwing his helmet in frustration last season over his QB’s ineptitude. The same QB was pretty inept to start this year, no guarantee AT would have helped him in those games any more than he did last year.  Just sayin.  And Dan doing him a solid probably did not go unnoticed by players around the league. I think it increases his rep with potential FAs. It sure can’t hurt it.

      You think that was the fault of the guy that was lighting it up or maybe the bums around him? Funnily enough, those bums are still being bums in his absence. Who would have thought!
