Self DEZstruction

Not in the context of his tweet. "I'm gonna get faded up then get on a plane. You don't get a fade then get on a plane. You get faded and get on a plane so you either sleep or relax the whole way.



Smoking weed.

you are so wrong

I don't care what variation of the word he was using, it's far from a big deal.

It's not a big deal he's smoking. IT'S A BIG DEAL HE'S ADVERTISING IT ON TWITTER. Like dude, seriously? Do you still not get it?

 

[NextGenBoys]

And why do you say that?

Because I actually can understand athletes slang and how they talk to one another, and don't have my head in the sand?

There's always a concern any time one of our Cowboys might be hanging out with bad influences. But I'm not big on drawing conclusions about Bryant just because of that.

Yes, I'd rather he be the type we don't read about because he never gets in bar fights, never puts himself in bad situations, etc., but just because we don't get to see into some players' lives like we do Bryant's doesn't mean he's more in danger of "Dezstruction."

Take the case of Sam Hurd, for instance. Or one that always gets to me is Mark Tuinei, who died from a combination of heroin, "Ecstasy" and alcohol two years after his retirement. Both of those guys seemed to have their heads screwed on straight. I never remember reading about them being out partying hard, etc. They seemed like consummate professionals.

The truth is we don't know how the story will end with any of them ... and even if we did there's nothing we could do to change it. So why worry about "self-dezstruction"? Just hope that it doesn't happen and Bryant turns into the player he ultimately can be and has a long career in Dallas.

I do too, he is referring to a haircut

Laughing at all these people who think he is going to get "high" by saying he is going to get faded up. He is talking about a Damn haircut people. You really think he is gonna post on Twitter he is going to get high? Wow some are so dumb its funny. Might as well call Roger and tell him he is smoking a fat blunt to get "faded". Because that's what you idiots are basically saying he did. Wow what happened to the Zone?

Finally, someone with common sense. All these couch GM's and coaches don't know what a fade haircut is! :laugh2:

People say faded for a variety of reasons, I've heard/seen it used many times for just getting messed up in general.

He also very well could have been getting cut by his barber before going on a plane. You simply don't know.

Why isn't this thread over? Thought I shut it down earlier.

Here's a fresh cup of perspective.

You aren't crazy bro, Dez has always had 'homeboy' issues.

It's not that big of a deal to me, because if the other 63 starting WRs in the NFL were followed around as closley as Dez Bryant you'd find that he's par for the course.

He has to do a better job of understanding the visibility of Dallas, but right now he's 21, progressing, and really came along at the end of the year. All the off the field stuff has no bearing until he's walking out of a court room in a fur coat or if it visibly affects the Cowboys chances of winning.

He's more than a 3 route off the field headache. He's set for a breakout season, he's a guy that's physially superior to his competition and once he figures it out he's gonna be great.

But while we obsess and prod into this 21 year old mans life. BTW what were you all doing at 21? Now imagine the pressures associated with a millionaire lifestyle in Dallas being the next great Cowboy WR. It's not as easy as go home and study your playbook all night.

But I want to leave you Puritans with 2 things before I jam.

1) He's going to figure it out, he's already done great for a 2nd year player at working hard in a short offseason. He still needs to polish route techniques, mid-play route adjustments (seeing the corner cheat on a blitz and signal to your Qb to run a go instead of a hitch, nuances like that), zone recognition, and understanding when to live to fight another day or battle 3 men for 2 yards. Physially he's fine when he's healthy, plus he saw a healthy dose of bracket coverage last year with safety help over the top in a lot of traditional Tampa 2 sets so he really did great considering he saw #1 receiver attention in a lot of games. Plus, remember he's working with a garbage OL that doesn't ever give him Qb time to comfortably hit his back foot on a 7 step drop, let alone have time to let Dez get deep down the field where he can be a vertical threat. Patrick Peterson was right, he had 3 routes, then in the last 4 games Garrett unleashed him running Austin's almost full route tree combination and he really was torching guys. The game I was at in Dallas he was literally open almost every play but Romo was running for his life most of that game.

2) Everyone does it. Yes, out of 64 starting WRs in the NFL - more than half of them smoked weed, or hung out wiith sketchy characters at some point during thier career. Santonio Holmes, basically dealt weed, got busted and failed multiple tests. Hines Dancin' Behind Bars Ward has got caught getting high and driving drunk. Randy Moss circa 98-07. Brandon Marshall routinely assaults his significant other every offseason. Dante Stallworth drunkenly ran over a man, and walked btw. Jerome Simpson got popped getting pounds of reefer smuggled to his house from his teammates southern cal hookup. Sam Hurd was selling more drugs than Scarface. Rae Carruth killed his pregnant wife. So ya see, Dez smoking a doobie in the offseason is the least of my worries, neither is paying his bills, or where he wears his pants, that's dumb **** for dumb people to obsess about, all I care about is what he does for 3 hours on 20 days out the year.

Dez has zero arrests, no failed drug tests, and really cares about this teams performance on Sunday. It shows in how he plays on every single snap, I wish the other 52 guys played with half this guys emotion and maybe we'd go somewhere. As long as we win it'll be okay and you'll be forgiven, ask Irvin, but if we lose, you'll always be the reason.

Because face it, this team has about 20 other things more important to worry about than what Dez Bryant's lackey puts on youtube, like c, g, de, cb, nickel cb, ilb, olb, dt, ss, fs, backup qb, 3rd wr, te, gm, oc, etc etc.

All this for a freaking haircut? :laugh2:

I get a faded haircut too. I'll put that on Twitter or Facebook I doubt anyone will say JD your smoking weed!

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Nice try. Lil' Wayne's twitter handle has not ever been weezy_87.

It's been @liltunechi for as long as I can remember.

Great work.

I could be wrong but I think the OP pointed out, more than once, that he wasn't refering to Lil Wayne and that this guy on Twitter was a completely different person who uses Weezy on Twitter.

Guess that got buried somewhere in the thread and was missed.

OK. I have no idea what "Faded up" means. Can someone enlighten me?

It's in reference to a hair cut as far as I know. I've never seen that used to describe anything else.

Not in the context of his tweet. "I'm gonna get faded up then get on a plane. You don't get a fade then get on a plane. You get faded and get on a plane so you either sleep or relax the whole way.



Smoking weed.

Interesting. I've never seen Faded up used in reference to smoking pot. Of course I don't smoke it, never have, and don't have any friends who do so that's possibly why.

I have, however, heard the term Faded up used millions of times in reference to getting a hair cut.

Yeah, how stupid do people think Dez could be? Has he shown any inkling of really stupid decision making?


Oh ... wait.

 

[Apollo Creed]

And yes getting faded means getting high.

C'mon man.

Um, yeah, I do this all the time. When I'm going out of town, I prefer to look good when I get there, so I go to the barber, get "faded up," then hop on my flight.

Seriously. Who in their right mind would broadcast for the whole world to see that they are going to smoke illegal weed? I can't believe some people actually believe this. He is talking about a haircut people. Nothing more.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Even old white guys know he wasn't talking about a haircut.

C'mon, man.

Lol.

Exactly, it's not even a discussion.

Yeah it's pretty obvious. The context of the situation is clearly referring to him smoking. I'm gonna get faded up and hop on a plane? Cmon man!
