Most rookies in the NFL have to endure some level of good-natured ribbing and hazing. It usually involves getting stuck with the bill at a restaurant or having to stand up and serenade the entire team in the locker room. It’s usually embarrassing or menial. Normal people react to it with humor, realizing it’s just for bonding. But not Dez Bryant.
Dez Bryant is a precious snowflake, and considers himself above such childish pranks. So he says. He says he was drafted to play football, not carry pads.
Um… you get what you pay for Cowboys. So when you draft a guy that plummeted through the first round because of a reputation for being difficult… viola! You gain a difficult player who is already pissing off the veteran teammates at his position. Awesome. He’s T.O. Junior, only without a single actual accomplishment in the NFL.
I’m calling this little entitlement fit as a “tantrum at practice” and am awarding the requisite 25 points for it.
