Dez has a sit down with Michael Silver...

"I hate the word diva, by the way," Dez Bryant said, his eyes ablaze with passion, his raspy voice nearly trembling with intensity. "I hate it. That fits me nowhere."

...Over the next 80 minutes -- yes, that's the 10 minutes he allotted, times eight -- Bryant opened up in a way that he never had in any interview. He revealed dark moments from his past: At 8 years old, he was watching the TV news and was jolted by the haunting sight of his mother, Angela, being led away in handcuffs after a drug bust. His mom would serve 18 months in a Texas prison, and saying goodbye, Bryant recalled, "was a dagger to the chest."

Gameday rewind should be a good viewing.

I always have time for a person's story...and hope that Dez Bryant is able to continue to sort things out. The NFL isn't having problems sorting out cap projections now...and they will already project with a degree of increase as well.

I don't like the team looking to keep money from being workable more into the future, to protect an image of already hitting on a Tony Romo deal. The team is still trying to manage protecting a future potential...and to this fan, that gives an additional picture of not fully sure of what is on the ledger for now. That is upon the team, not the player.

Not a fan of Dez but after reading stuff from the interview I've did a 180. Sounds like a street kid with no guidance. Good for him must have been hard to overcome.

...and a huge heart that wouldn't accept the pain. But didn't just strike out against everything with anger.

Human side of pride there...and I hope he reaps all the rewards for walking the truth of it all.

He grew up in a messed up situation most of us couldn't imagine. He had no father and his "mother" was a street person that did street things.

How can a Cowboys fan not be a Dez fan? I don't get that one at all.

I love the guys fire, intensity, and skills on the field but I do worry about him long term. I won a contest one time on his twitter page to meet him in person over dinner. About an hour after the time we were supposed to meet, he called me and asked if I still wanted to meet.... um yeah. So anyway, he shows up an hour and a half late and says he can't stay for dinner but will answer some of my questions, etc. He stayed for about 15 minutes and was a really nice guy. That was his rookie year, now here we are years down the road and he stood up this reporter for days after they agreed on times to do the interview. My issue with him is his stability. I'm honestly scared that the Cowboys are going to over pay him and he isn't going to pan out for us long term. I hope I'm wrong. I really love the kid.

That's it? I'm mad. lol

It was good, but it was literally 3-4 mins max. lol

Now they're recapping.

In the above tweet, Silver says that was part-1 of his sitdown with him. Maybe you just saw the first part? I don't know because I missed it, but I am taping it and will watch later.
