PFT: Norman: Dez never said “Where I come from we unload the clip”

[Reality]

Norman confirmed Bryant’s quote twice last Thursday but said on Monday, via Master Tesfatsion of the Washington Post, that Bryant didn’t actually say that. Per Tesfatsion, Norman intended the phrase as a metaphor for leaving everything out on the field. If true, there’s a lot of less loaded ways to make that point given the obvious allusion to a threat of violence via the use of a gun.

He also said he’s done with the entire situation.

“Nothing,” Norman said. “It really wasn’t a situation. It was a game. We lost. They won. That was it.”

Bryant expressed regret on Twitter for how he handled things and did so again on Monday.

Why did the pretentious ******* initially say he did then?

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Guy has weak character. No surprise. He gets challenged, and whines about it on the field, and to the media.

You answered your own question.

I believe Norman deserves to be suspended by the league for making a false claim of violent threats towards another player.

This isn't something to take lightly. His lie about what Dez said can do harm to the nfl brand more than Brady letting a little air out of a ball.
Disgusting.

 

[Sepia]

Knew he was lying.

Where are his fines for his antics during the game?

 

[DakotaReign]

Im disgusted.

 

[DenCWBY]

Good to hear they both finally owned up and are trying to move on. Hope the media does the same and we can focus on the dang Vikings.

How cowardly

No clips get unloaded in Lufkin. Nothing much happens there...

I agree. I saw Norman intentionally go out of his way to bump Dez at least 3 times. And that's not including the time he pulled Dez' legs up after the tackle. The refs had no control over this either. They ignored it, which is BS. The refs were right there when it was occurring. Norman should have been ejected.....

So first he tattle-tells to the media. Now it was all a lie? This dude is weak. He should be ashamed to even show up to work. Everyone knows what type of move this is...the adjectives aren't appropriate for this forum.

We have our fair share. But no, we dont have driveby's every day or anything.

Disgusting.

Bad analogy.
Great comparison, bloke!

With Dez's swagger and past pretense of having street cred, he doesn't need a wannabe gangsta saying untruths about Dez.
Dez continues to mature and that deerskin idiot continues to regress.
Norman is on notice: I'll tell me mum on him next time!

 

[superonyx]

Sorry guys....I just checked ESPN and it didn't say anything about Norman lying.
They reported plenty on Dez making this false threat but nothing on it being a Lie.
It must still be true then. Waiting on ESPN confirmation.

Beware. I hear there is shoving at the supermarket on the first of the month. And nerves get frazzled at the Dairy Queen dive-thru, chaps.

I'm glad this whole situation exposed Josh. Dez got some criticism, but I heard most of the media blaming Josh and acknowledging his dirty game. I was worried Dez would be dragged through the mud.
