I bet you’re sick of the Dallas Cowboys. I know I am. But nobody’s more sick of hearing about the Dallas Cowboys than the Dallas Cowboys. Because all the dudes in that locker room ever hear about is losing, Dez Bryant and Greg Hardy.
Bleacher Report’s Jason Cole spoke to several players and they’re fed up, saying that Dez has not handled the season “In a constructive way” that he’s lashed out at the media, and that he “doesn’t know how to channel his frustration.”
Yeah Dez Bryant has a ton of different talents – I wouldn’t say that constructive channeling of his frustration is among them.
But it should be. This is not a young, volatile Dez Bryant just breaking into the league. This is the best player on a team that badly needs leaders. And instead they’ve got Dez screaming F-bombs across a locker room and freaking out over what gets written about him.
Dez – who cares? You’re way too good of a player to be caught up in some column taking a run at you.
Why are you even reading it? You guys are 2-7, what, you think it’s going to be good? It’s like the quarterback who throws three picks and then checks his twitter mentions and gets bent that his fantasy owners hate him.
You know those guys who are holding you back when you’re berating the media? Dez, you should be THAT guy.
And the fact that Greg Hardy is such a terrible guy is the biggest reason Dez isn’t taking more flak for his act.
But obviously – his teammates are over it. And I get it. You’re having a nightmare season. You want to just come to work, keep a good attitude and cling on to that pipe dream about Tony Romo coming to the rescue.
But every 5 seconds you’re getting asked about Hardy missing meetings or Dez angry and screaming. I don’t expect anything but garbage from Hardy. But Dez should be better and smarter. And right now he’s not. And don’t think Romo coming back this week is going to make everything right. In fact, you think Dez is mad now, .. Wait til he gets his QB back and they STILL lose.
Dez needs to be better than this. Much better.
To quote every athlete and coach in the history of the world, just worry about what you can control. It’s like Dez has Google Alerts set up for anything that says his team or his name.
