View Full Version : So maybe Dez Bryant likes to sag his pants...
Dez Bryant ejected from mall (http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/news/story?id=6248159)
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant was ejected from an upscale Dallas shopping mall and given a criminal trespass warning from off-duty police officers Saturday after a dispute over the sagging pants worn by him and some companions.
A Tuesday police statement says Bryant and three companions were involved in an incident at NorthPark Center where security asked them to pull their pants up because their underwear was showing.
Bryant, however, told ESPNDallas.com his pants were up but some of his friends' pants were down.
"It really wasn't me in the wrong," Bryant said Tuesday. "It's not even an issue."
The Dallas Police Department said in a statement that Bryant and his friends were not in violation of a law, but that he was issued the warning for not complying with a police request.
According to the police report, Bryant used profanity and created a commotion when confronted, prompting the officers to escort the four from the mall.
"What the [expletive], you stopped me like I stole something," Bryant was quoted as saying, according to the police report.
Police say Bryant refused to leave, however, until his attorney and representative could arrive and he parked in a fire lane until a friend arrived and persuaded him to leave.
No charge was filed. Bryant's agent, Eugene Parker, declined to comment. The Cowboys did not respond to requests for comment.
WFAA-TV in Dallas reported Bryant was banned from the mall for three months.
Late Tuesday, however, Bryant tweeted: "Headed to North Park tomorrow to get these Lebrons....I am not banned from North park lol."
Bryant's adviser, David Wells, said, "That's not true. I was there; it didn't happen."
Bryant has a history of problems at the mall, according to the police report, including an incident at a store where police had to intervene after the wide receiver cut in line and a parking citation for parking in the fire lane. Bryant was also involved in a "major disturbance" at one of the mall's restaurants with an unknown woman. Police were called, but both Bryant and the woman were gone before they arrived.
"I told the guy I'm not trying to get in trouble," Bryant said. "I'm not trying to destroy my image. The [warning] wasn't toward me. I was trying to figure out what was going on. It was a big misunderstanding. I was the wrong guy."
It takes a special kind of person to have "a history of problems at the mall".

Deion Sanders, who stopped mentoring Dez Bryant months ago, strongly criticized the Dallas Cowboys receiver in reaction to the criminal trespass warning given to Bryant over the weekend at a Dallas mall.
"I'm upset but not surprised whatsoever," Sanders said Friday morning on the Ben & Skin Show on ESPN 103.3 FM in Dallas.
Sanders described Bryant's behavior at NorthPark Center on Saturday as "ignorant." The 2010 first-round pick was issued the warning after an off-duty police officer requested that Bryant and his friends pull up their pants because their underwear was showing and Bryant responded with repeated profanity, according to the police report.
“
Bryant He needs help. He needs help. I told the Cowboys from Day One that he needs help. Matter of fact, they have a team in place to help him. But you cannot tell a grown man what to do.
” -- Hall of Famer Deion Sanders
on Cowboys WR Dez Bryant
"He needs help. He needs help," Sanders said, citing issues stemming from Bryant's difficult childhood. "I told the Cowboys from Day 1 that he needs help. Matter of fact, they have a team in place to help him. But you cannot tell a grown man what to do."
Sanders, who was recently elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and serves as a mentor to many NFL players, said he ended his relationship with Bryant over the summer due to the receiver's dishonesty.
Bryant did not immediately respond to a text message from ESPNDallas.com.
The NCAA suspended Bryant in September 2009 for the rest of that season for lying about having lunch with Sanders. No other rules violations were found, but Sanders said it bothered him that he took a lot of the blame for Bryant's lie.
However, Sanders said the relationship continued until he became concerned that Bryant could negatively influence children in Sanders' youth program. Sanders added that he felt like he could not help Bryant.
"I don't have a problem with you lying to me. That's one thing," Sanders said. "But when you lie to yourself as a man, you have a serious problem and that's where this kid is. And I can't condone it. I really can't. It tarnishes everything else I'm trying to develop in these kids [in his youth program]. I can't allow you to poison other kids that I'm trying to mentor and take to another level."
Sanders praised the effort of Bryant's adviser David Wells, whom Sanders has had a relationship with since playing for the Cowboys in the 1990s. But Sanders made it clear that he has no intention of being involved in Bryant's life again.
"I haven't spoken to the kid," Sanders said. "I have no desire to speak to the kid. In regards to me, I can forgive, but I can't forget. You can't tarnish the other things that I have going on and the other kids. It's sort of like I can't allow something to poison the fruit of many other kids. I can't do it, so I cut off those ties a long time ago."

The worst thing that can happen to Bryant is to not have football keeping him somewhat in line. Cowboys will be lucky if this is the worst he does between now and whenever these assholes reach an agreement and start football activities again.
It seems like over the last few years the NFL is trying to fuck up an awesome game and league. Everything they do is a slap in the fans face and it's getting hard to stomach.

Deion Sanders is just jealous of how big his hands are! His character isn't an issue at all!
He has the body of an Olympic sprinter, the athleticism of a NBA superstar and the mind of a small, delinquent child. I'll be honest, though, I don't care if he smokes crack rocks on the sidelines and robs gas stations to feed his drug habits, as long as he scores TD's on Sundays. No one ever said Cowboys=class.

All of you who poke fun at Dez Bryant now, be warned - we'll see who has the last laugh when he makes it to the HOF. Dez is gonna call out all you armchair quarterbacks when he is finally enshrined. Snobbery from law-abiding fagles like you is what motivated Dez's mother when she tirelessly worked the back alleys, and it is what motivates Dez in his fight against unfair, racist mall rules.
90210, mardigan, kamikazi_player - tell these trolls what it means to wear The Star. Dez Bryant wears The Star with pride and that's all that matters - who cares how low he wears his pants. He will deliver a Superbowl to the greatest owner/GM in pro sports, just you wait!

first of all mr. sanders is showing how classy he is yet again by going out of his way to publicly critique and distance himself from mr. bryant
secondly, from my interpretation of the events that transpired at the mall, a cop accosted mr. bryant for the manner in which mr. bryant's associates were wearing their pants. mr. bryant reacted in what i consider to be an understandable manner, specifically by expressing disbelief that law enforcement (perhaps at the direction of mall personnel) would be taking issue with his associates' manner of dress.
and gee golly willikers, mr. bryant said "What the [expletive]."
How dare he! This is 1916 after all.
Not only is it universally annoying to see someone else ass only covered by their boxers, but these days it's not even considered "cool" in any clique. Even most the brothas got their pants pulled up these days
I don't even understand how a fashion that started in prison yards to show you're ready to get fucked in the ass evolved into regular society

That's all sorts of stupid.
The cop was off duty and being paid about $55 per hour working security at the mall by the mall. The mall has the right, as private property, to enforce a dress code that wouldn't allow you to walk around showing your underwear.
Being asked to pull your pants up isn't being accosted.
No one between the ages of 5 and 80 should ever have to be asked to pull their pants up. It should be an extreme embarrassment to be in that position for anyone in that 75 yr age range.

Anything Deion Sanders does is in his own self interest. That has never changed.
He was a bad teammate everywhere he played in the NFL. I think Aikman considered him a lazy guy who wouldn't work hard. In some ways, Sanders tried to divide the locker room.
The Ben and Skin Show guys on 103.3FM here in Dallas kiss Sanders butt morning noon and night (Just like the do with their lousy Mavies coverage/worshipping). That's why Deion gives them the time of day.
Dez Bryant is a by-product of being coddled for the last seven or eight years. In high school, OSU, and in Dallas.
It gets old seeing these clowns act the fool displaying their ignorance.
This guy will likely never reach his considerable potential because he is dumb as a box of rocks. I hope I'm wrong as a Cowboys fan, but the signs so far are not positive.
A strike would definitely hurt a guy like Bryant, who needs structure. The new receivers coach Robinson will at least demand the players work and get better and hold them to a standard, unlike the guy in the job last year.

Merriam-Webster begs to differ, illiteratus
accost : to approach and speak to often in a challenging or aggressive way
Prove that the cop asked him to pull his pants up in a challenging or aggressive way.
If all he did was let him know there is a standard of dress and he needs to pull his pants up or he'll be asked to leave then that is 100% within the rights of a property owner or said owner's representative.

What a dumbass. It's hilarious you pull the tired Internet smartguy routine yet are saying shit that's retarded.
The scenario you put that you think happened isn't accosting someone, dumbass. That doesn't fit in the definition no matter how loosely you try to fit it.

Maybe Dez should ask Antoine Walker how it works when you say "Yes" to the hangers on and waste your money on obnoxious jewelry. He made $150MM in his career and he's flat broke.
Ignorant 22 year olds with no education mixed with $3-4MM in the space of a year is a dangerous mixture.
Bryant's upbringing was horrible.
Maybe by some miracle someone with the Cowboys can get ahold of Dez and get him on a budget so he can have the opportunity to get a second contract.
The whole situation is a sad commentary on the young football players who have no interest in educating themselves.
I will have more money in the bank when I retire then Dez Bryant will in all likelihood.
