Dez Calls out Skip Bayless via Twitter

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Lol. Dez thanked somebody for having his back. Why in the world would he need to _not_ do that? Seriously, who do you guys think you are to even suggest it?

Somebody attacks him in the media for the sole purpose of getting attention off of Dez' name, another media member thanks him, and Dez says 'thanks, dude. That guy's kind of a jerk, anyway' and it spawns a string of idiotic comments about Dez needing to be muzzled and 'gee doesn't he look thuggish wearing his sweats to a football game'. All of this garbage gets rolled up over time into a giant ball of irrational garbage, and then you guys try to throw that at Dez, too, as if he's the problem.

Dez is not the problem. Skip Bayless, spouting horse manure is the problem. You guys, swallowing the manure and stinking up the forum with the regurgitation of it is the problem. Dez is a dude who's wound up incredibly tightly emotionally who wants to work hard, be a good teammate, and win football games. When he actually crosses a line: a substance abuse violation, and arrest, whatever, come back and complain about it some more and I'll agree you've got a point. I'm not going to hear it just because you don't like something he tweeted or think it's 'classier' for a sweatshirt to have sleeves.

Lol how pedantic
Ok, here:
In my opinion Dez Bryant would help His football playing career if he made more news for his football playing.


By that I mean he got himself in an Unwinnable Twitter spat with like an admitted instigator troll. One Who has nothing good in mind for you when he invokes your name. So now what Dez has done is made an enemy out of someone who likes drama and likes his name in the news. Which further exacerbates the Dez Bryant is a bad character teammate narrative. One that has a vicious cycle that we've seen by the media machine. Consisting of in no particular order: create controversy, have player comment on contrived controversy, player gets frustrated and lashes out at questions. Players lash out is now the news story.




So in my saying Dez Bryant should avoid this negative momentum I want the dallas Cowboys to be a better and more focused football team. You may say the idea of Dez Bryant being a distraction is overrated and hasn't been proven in team results. However I say one should always try to stack good days on top of good days. Making yourself a bigger target for opponents and the media isn't a good thing. Engaging with skip bay less automatically makes it a bad day

When you represent an institution and you are paid to work for that employer, you should dress professionally and accordingly seeing as though you represent that organization and are a reflection of that organization. All Dez is saying is that he doenst give a **** and he is going to be himself no matter what. This can be an admirable trait but not in this instance. Its what we see a lot from him. immature and classless behavior.

Kinda like how Sam Hurd wore suits?
Being beholden to the fashion standards set by people who loved and died before you were born is weak minded and robotic. When I get dressed I don't care what other men will think ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It only exacerbates that negative with fans gullible enough to be fooled by what's going on. And those fans will be taken in by whatever the manufactured crisis of the day happens to be.

There's never a time when the spotlight is not on the Cowboys or their players. So either you're a fan who reacts to it, or you're one who sees through it and finds it tedious and annoying. There's not a lot of in-between.

Bayless plays two sides of a coin to manipulate the Cowboys fanbase for ratings. Probably going to side with an actual player over a loud annoying talking head.

Nah this stuff pretty clearly has some effect. There's a reason teams spend so much time and resources on coaching guys how to handle the media. We know Dez is an easily distracted player and anything unproductive going on around him makes him worse. Somebody who's so emotional they can't get mri results or treatment clearly can get riled up about anything.

Considering he hasn't really done anything In the last 20 cowboys games I've watched I think of a fair to say he should stay out of the news until he plays again.

Ya'll need to work on ya'll's people skills.

I was actually saying that out loud after reading his post, and then I saw that you had written it.

You live in the 1950's?

Naw man I live in nice neighborhood where the Byron Nelson is played but good one
Try going somewhere like that w a sleeveless hoodie and see what happens to you lol lol I double dare you. In fact I'll set up a paypal acct for lets 15k and if you can goto the Byron Nelson w what he had on for 2 hours and walk through my neighborhood at a slow to medium speed for lets say 20 mins without being stopped by the cops or our security you win playboy you win. Never happen.

Or you can try that in Preston hollow where president bush lives. You ain't gotta a chance. Are you up for it? Let me know. I'm always down for making cash money.

And if you doubt for one second that I'm around that kind of environment then you can pm idgit and ask him if I sent any proof of the kinda peeps I know, party with ect. It's funny cause some of the athletes complain to me that they still get harassed.

That sounds nice, but historically the opposite has occurred. Dez has gone ham after Sunday specials making up stuff about him on numerous occasions. Do you have any evidence to back up your claims?

 

[superonyx]

I typed and re-typed a bunch of responses. That was the best I could do.. lol

If Dez doesn't wear this on the sidelines of a football game some fans start getting real uncomfortable.

Hmm...

Dez is well known for his odd taste in clothes, here's his idea of a bathing suit

Yes when he gets distracted by an opponent or game scenario he runs lesser routes, works himself into a frenzy, and tries to win the game
On every play. Or rather win the personal battle on every play.

I don't know where you live...but I wouldn't think it's so "nice" if wearing this for 20 minutes in my neighborhood would cause me to get stopped and harassed by the police.

That's what I'm saying. My previous post stated I know about 15 suburbs of Dallas where you would get stopped immediately but everyone is acting like I live in the leave it to beaver ages

We'll see. If you're right and the team has any issue with it whatsoever, they'll have him take the tweets down according to their media handling policy.

The fact that you happen to think he should not be on Twitter because you haven't noticed him impacting football games in the last 20 games doesn't mean anything. It's not your call to make, and it's not Dez' fault if you want to fall for every Skip Bayless head fake. I've had Labradors realize there's no tennis ball faster than you guys catch on to a good manufactured Dez Bryant story.

This is what I said:

Dez needs to get his name on the stat sheets soon getting tired of him

I said this because I don't believe skipping rehab, strolling into meetings at any ol time, getting into Twitter fights, or anything he's been doing is GOOD. Some Or all Of these may ultimately be harmless but I don't see
How they're positive team building behaviors. They're all pretty self serving and that's why I said I'm getting sick of dez Bryant stories not involving Dez Bryant playing football.

Considering the smear campaign that was made about him thru the media regarding the video, you should probably cut him a little slack for getting angry at the media using his only outlet to say what he wants. Id be pretty upset if a "video" almost costed me a contract worth millions of dollars.

I'll walk around any town near me you chose with a sleeveless hoodie for one full recorded hour. $500 bet. ill Verify it was the first take by holding up a newspaper

The media isn't out to smear anyone they want clicks and money. They use the bait worms that are the juiciest.

 

[Proximo]

Not really. You could talk about his diligence in trying to get back on the field with the bruised bone. You could talk about him working on the sidelines with Brice Butler. You could talk about his relationship with Dak and him saying "Dak for President" on the sidelines. You could talk about Williams' comments about how much respect he has from Dez from yesterday's interviews. You can talk about how Dak told him after his first TD pass that there's nobody he'd rather have thrown it to.

But you don't. You *do* however, complain about him thanking Fisher for suggesting he's not a bad teammate. Think about it.

There's a thread on the 1st page of the Fan Zone regarding reports about Dez working with trainers and potentially practicing this week (maybe even playing on Sunday?).

That thread was started 2 hours before this one. This one is 7 pages and going strong. The other one is less than half that.

Funny which items people decide to classify as news, and decide to talk about. Sometimes this feels more like the Gossip Zone.

If you don't believe anything Dez Bryant is doing is good for his team, it looks to me like the issue is yours and not Dez'. You're putting emphasis on irrelevant tweets and maybe not paying enough attention to his performance and ability and to what his coaches and teammates actually have to say about him.
