Personal note: Knowing that legitimate media is already digging into this and the stoyr hasnt went away by now is a scary thing if youre a Cowboys fan. This is already front page on Yahoo. Thats not something Dez would want. But you have to say this guy chose to live his lifestyle this is the effect. True or not stuff like this is going to pop up because he chose to live a certain way.

COWBOYS DEZ: THE 'WHAT IFS' OF VIDEO TROUBLE
1349608.jpg

Mike FisherCowboysHQ.com
Dez Bryant "incriminating video’’ story and it begs for me to be clear on it:

Until I see it, I do not know that it exists. But I do know legitimate media outlets are digging. And I do know, one way or another, it's a Dallas Cowboys problem.

I have already detailed the lack of logic regarding some of the branches on this Dez Video tree. But if there is any truth to the colorful claims that this years-old video paints a picture of Bryant that is “five times worse than Ray Rice,’’ there will be trepidation not only regarding his “Cowboy For Life’’ contract negotiations, but concerns for his availability to the Cowboys in 2015 and concerns for what law-enforcement officials might wish to do about it.

I have on many occasions referred to this as a “Unicorn Video,’’ not because it necessarily doesn’t exist, but simply because it a) seems surreal and b) is unseen by me.

Suppose, just for argument’s sake, that the “Unicorn’’ is located. Now what do you do with the notion of a seven-year, $100-million commitment? Now what do you with the $12.8-million commitment that goes with the tag?

“Right now, as to our basic approach to all of the contracts that we’re considering negotiating, off-the-field issues are not a consideration in any situation with any player,’’ Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the other day.

And if the “unsubstantiated rumor’’ only appears on “SportsCenter’’? Jones can be right.

But if the “Unicorn Video’’ ever appears on “SportsCenter’’? Jones will be wrong.

What if the lack of logic is overcome by a seedy fact? What if legitimate outlets’ searches for the video produce something illicit? Does Dallas give Bryant a seven-year deal? A one-year deal? No deal at all, because depending on the level of illicitness, he might face a penalty from the NFL like the penalty given Rice and Adrian Peterson before him?

And what if law enforcement wants in on this? Cowboys Nation shudders at the thought … but if the Unicorn Video exists, it would be the scene played out before our eyes that will cause us to shudder.

Its way beyond just rumor now. All we can do is wait and see what comes of it

One thing is for sure. If a video exists it will come out now.

Yup.
Let the light shine upon it all now.

So in one article Mike Fisher gives us 5 reasons why the video story had no merit and now we get a "what if" article?

What's changed?

But hey, Mike Fisher is better than Ed Werder.

That's the question- what made Fisher do this?
I think that this is not going away is what made him do this.

Maybe all this is legit. Maybe not.
Fine.
Better to find out now than after the ink is dry from his name on a contract that can't be fulfilled.
Get all this poo out of the intestines.

Then we can restart clean.
Or move forward on business per usual.

I'm ready for this nonsense to blow over.

I agree with you on the contract issue. This story puts Dallas in a bad spot. If it comes out its true, on a long term deal youre screwed. If you tag him and he signs ur screwed this yr. But if he signs it fast after being so against it, might be telling.

Ray Rice knocked that girl out! I'm not a lawyer but that looked bad enough that it seems to me if the authorities wanted to pursue it, they could arrested him for assault whether the girl wanted to press charges or not. I cannot fathom anything occurring 5 times worse that didn't end up with criminal charges somehow. I just don't buy it.

What if? I'll tell you what if. 5 minutes after it comes out, announce that Dez is signed to that 7 year deal. The "story" dies.

There are only 3 reasons why this is even a story at all. Those reasons are...

1. The

2. Dallas

3. Cowboys

In this day and age- there's little consequence anymore.
No fear in journalism. No integrity. No downfall.

Name of the game now.
They have successfully stirred up crap. If you can call stirring up crap successful. But you can clearly see how many fish come ot nibble on the chum. Including me it seems.

Really? The existence of such a video as it has been described wouldn't give you any hesitation at all?

Also, given the Rice comparison I'm not sure it's fair to say that the team Dez plays for has anything to do with the attention it has received, nor the crap storm that will follow if the rumblings are true.

Agree and Hos you have missed here. I have missed your insight especially with FA and the draft.

Which would seemingly have to imply some Walmart employee took the video, and is perhaps shopping it around.

Good news is the video quality should be awfully clear. No Big Foot sighting quality footage. At least there shouldn't be much confusion about what happened.

Long and the short of it: If true- better the story comes out now before anything has been signed.
I believe you and I are on the same page on that.

That's the only silver lining if such a video exists.

It would have to be an old video. I can't imagine Dez being in a Walmart in the past few years.
