News: DMN: Cowboys' Dez Bryant motivated to beat Saints by vocal Pappadeaux patron

[Ren]

Couple of more Ls and there won't be any aints fans left to annoy anyone

 

[jrumann59]

Its bit surprising Dez would let something small like that really get to him. I do hope he can stop sweating small things and focus on keeping his mind right thru whole season.

I wasn't their but it sounds like the lady kept yapping, even a small dog can get annoying if it keeps yapping for no reason.

 

[Fletch]

I like his competitive fire, but getting irritated by rival fans can be a psychological vulnerability.

Lol. Merely being irritated is a psychological vulnerability? ANYONE would become irritated at that. Dez handled the situation with class and maturity. I see who gave you a "like". This must be a really tough week for RS.

You and RS liking each other in this weak attempt to discredit Dez is pathetic. Are y'all dating yet?

 

[DogFace]

It's comical that some in this thread criticized Dez for totally maintaining his composure.
Man some of you are truly odd. That's as nice as I can say it. Any competive person can understand how an annoying petty a trash talker could really get on your nerves. Especially when trying to have a peaceful family dinner. It's disrespectful and most self respecting people don't enjoy being disrespected.

Guess where the criticism is coming from?

Yeah. This has to be embarrassing for the usual critiques/whiners. They have nothing to cry about so they do this.
I'm embarrassed for them. Not really!!! Hope they keep discrediting their laughable opinions.

 

[Sportsbabe]

I was wondering what this was all about, cuz every media report on twitter made it out to be some big thing. Well, except for Tim MacMahon who just said Dez was rambling. lol

This was what I was talking about in my Locker Room thread. He was very "eloquent" when he relayed the story from the locker room. It was if he was telling the story to one of his friends. As I listened .... it was a blast ... it was like I was sitting there with Dez as he told the story.

 

[Sportsbabe]

I'm glad Dez kept his composure and didn't say anything to the lady, but quite frankly he shouldn't care what some stupid Saints fan says.

Hello Mama, I don't know if you heard the audio, but Dez was saying it in a lighthearted manner and as a competitor who was getting ready to play that woman's Saints in the next day or two.

I don't see that as small at all. Put yourself in his shoes. Have you ever played organized sports? Have you ever had your opponent talk smack to you? I think you saying this is "small stuff" is humungous seeing that your rooting interest is suppose to be in the Cowboys. I don't get it. But then again, when I step back and look at it with a third eye, maybe I do.

 

[CowboyGil]

Only a couple of people have said how low brow it was of the lady to heckle the man while he's trying to enjoy a meal? C'mon guys. If there's anybody that enjoys some good jaw jackin' it's Dez. But he had the last laugh so Ha! Go cry in your gumbo, lady!!

 

[casmith07]

"Man, I'm hoping we beat the brakes off of them." -- lol. You did.

 

[casmith07]

Thats the point, he didn't let it get to him and kept his composure and used it as fuel.

Mansta! Good to see you brother.

I think Dez Bryant is great. For all of the athletes you hear about who care about money and care more about the name on the back, it really seems like Dez Bryant is ALL IN on the Dallas Cowboys, which is just awesome.

 

[Sportsbabe]

There was some sports athlete who once said something to the effect of, "If you let your emotions show in a game, you are vulnerable, because then your opponent knows when he has you frustrated or impatient."

I think the same thing applies to situations off the field as well. It simply is not worth it to let a rival fan get under your skin if you are a player. I am a big fan of athletes who simply, coldly, never let any heckling ever get to them.

Where did Dez show this woman got to him?
I'm a big proponet of playing with passion and intensity.
I want everything you've got.
Every ounce should be left on the field when the game is over.
Don't come half-stepping .... or don't come at all, because you are basically useless to the end game.

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

Good restraint by Dez. I'd have to jab a fork in somebodies eye if they ruined my Redfish Pontchartrain and Lobster Bisque.

Yeah, I was actually reading it on twitter when you posted the thread. Most were laughing about it, as much as you can laugh on twitter. lol Either way, most portrayed it as a lighthearted thing.

 

[Nova]

How do you criticize Bryant here? It's immature to be bothered by someone heckling you while you're trying to enjoy a meal?

Also, if he was annoyed by the Saints fan in general, isn't that exactly the same behavior that you want...? The competitiveness. The passion. It doesn't stop when the cameras are off. It's genuine.

Ain't it the truth. And besides, it's not about letting the fan get under his skin. It's about being challenged. The great ones respond like Dez did: "I can show you better than I can tell you." For example another great one like the Playmaker once said: "do you know who I am?" RSherman whould say: "don't you ever bring a sorry fan in this restaraunt to heckle me again ... we dat". Lawrence Taylor, etc. etc. It's about being challenged and showing them you got me twisted. Don't undervalue me sweetheart.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I have no issue with this. Fans can be extremely annoying and if you're in a restarunt acting like that then you are being even more annoying than the usual fan. That's just stupid.

I hope the mediots find the lady and get an interview. Now that would be must see tv.
