Dez Is What The Cowboys Need, Not What They Deserve
Dez Bryant’s recent outburst is being condemned nationwide. The talented wide receiver diva stigma plus his history has sportswriters vomiting cliches and unwritten moral code of NFL conduct. I get it, and, it’s fine. In fact I agree with nearly all of it. Dez’s antics were distracting, unwelcome, and 99% wrong.
But in this instance, on this team, I’m starting to believe in the 1%. Have a seat Mr. Romney, not
that 1%.
You see, the Dallas Cowboys are so consistently consistent at consistently being mediocre that it’s embarrassing. They’ve stalled their engine a decade ago and have been afraid to turn the key ever since. In fact, since the end of the 90′s glory years beginning in 2000 and right up until this was written the Dallas Cowboys have a combined regular season record of 108-108. Even to the staunchest defenders of coincidence, this isn’t one.
Bad drafts, worse contracts, and a fan with enough money to change his title to Owner but not enough common sense to not also name himself GM/Emperor. Hindsight isn’t always 20/20 because it all still depends on what you’re willing to see. Jerry Jones is a revisionist of history. He believes Jimmy Johnson didn’t have as much to do with Dallas’ 90s dynasty as himself. It’s laughable but if Pharaoh Jones were standing next to you right now he’d fervently ask “What’s funny?”
