Is Dez Bryant 14? (1 Viewer)

[Football Critic]

He is 23 hanging out in malls and acting like a fool, that is an activity that for most ends when they get a drivers license. What kind of weirdo hangs out in malls after 16.

BINGO !!! I was wondering this myself.

People who want to buy stuff!

 

[Football Critic]

Football critic you keep bringing up his baggy pants. I am more bothered by him yelling profanities at a public mall with children and also sitting in the red zone. Any thoughts on his tantrum?

I'm sure all complaining about what children are hearing are off their lid now too, i'm sure they dont hear worse on the Radio or TV. Oh wait that dont help you rip Dez, so of its obviously wrong on my part.

 

[Football Critic]

What the hell is a Dallas cop doing bothering the Cowboys star wideout for wearing his pants too low anyone who is not breaking the law?

Fixed

The rules of a business are not always the same as the rules of the law. If the mall owner has set guidelines for his employees to enforce, then the security officers were completely in their rights to both ask him to leave, and to ban him from the premises.I think you are confusing an on-duty Dallas cop with an off-duty officer that is picking up extra money moon-lighting as a security guard.

Of course, from your responses in this thread, I don't think reading comprehension is your strong suit...

Oh because business law is more important then the rule of regular law.

 

[Football Critic]

What is your opinion on1. Yelling profanities in public. 2. Parking in the red zone. Thanks.

You are making stuff up. The cops were not mall employees, and their boss even said he was not in violation of anything. The cops were not enforcing anything, at all, other than their own opinion. The mall has a dress code? Really? Do off-duty police moonlight enforcing it? Must be a swanky mall!People keep talking about fishing, I think anyone thinking Dez is in the wrong is fishing.

The songs they play in the mall are worse, and have you ever parked illegally? If you say no, you lie!

 

[Football Critic]

If you dress like an idiot you're gonna get treated like an idiot...the kid's not in High School or college...he's in the adult world and at some point he needs to start acting like an adult...the immaturity/cultural/innocent victim card is just a lazy way for him not be responsible for his actions...Bryant is young enough that he can get his head on straight and a good start would be to stop hanging out in malls with 14 year olds with your butt hanging out...is that really asking too much?

If you wear penny loafers, to me your an idiot, thats a matter of opinion, what is my beff....Is an off duty cop telling a man how to dress. but lets forget that and attack him for everything else. Give him the chair or stone him.

You must not be a parent of a small child because your comments are off the charts ignorant and also flat out wrong. I don't cuss around my 2nd grader. He has cussed twice in my presence and knows not to cuss. He is not around it and surely doesn't get it from TV. When morons are cussing in public there are ways of communication to let them know children don't need to hear it. I can count the times on one hand where we've heard morons like Bryant cuss loud in public so it's not very common and is not acceptable.

Profootballtalk.com reports that Dez Bryant is being sued by a Dallas jeweler for $246,000.Rafaello & Co claims that they provided Bryant with $267,000 in jewelry, and he only paid $21,000. The bulk of the purchases were reportedly made before and after last April's draft. On February 18, 2010, Bryant dropped $144,000, including $60,000 for a "custom charm." Bryant's five-year rookie contract signed in July, 2010 contained a $1.95 million signing bonus.

Oh boy.

So predictable..it is amazing at how trouble follows certain players and Bryant fits the profile perfect. Of course Bryant will blame someone else because that is his MO.

So let's get down to the real topic, what's Bryant worth now?

Although it is entertaining to read and you are consistent in your infantile logic, it is nonetheless absurd, Football Critic. Do we really want to carry this out to it's conclusion? There is a clear difference (to all but 2 of us in here)between our First Amendment Rights/LAW (free speech---wearing your pants low)and what is Socially Acceptable in our culture. Are there "laws" banning someone from wearing their pants too low/cursing in public/etc? Usually not, but there are socially acceptable "rules and norms" that only the clueless/entitled/immature/selfish/jacked up choose to break. If you want to wear your pants around your ankles (like you do with your logic) at home, that is your PERFECTLY fine 1st amendment right to do so. Sure you run the risk of screwing your kids up because they begin to think it's "normal", and they'll suffer (and so will you, and so will the rest of us)socially for it when they go and repeat your behavior and attitudes...but go ahead. The rest of us will simply alert the Cops at the mall when your kid comes walking in looking and acting like a delinquent. You can bail your idiot kid out of the trouble they get into and complain all you want about how your kid wasn't "breaking any laws", but the blood is on YOUR hands. You can even teach him how "unfair" authority is and how "he has rights, and that he just needs to be who he is" and screw the rest. That line of thought and subsequent action will get him/her a LONG way in life. On the flip side, us responsible citizens will encourage our kids to obey said "Social Laws". We will also teach our kids wisdom and respect for others and especially for authority, so life will go well for them. We'll even go so far as to teach our kids how to deal in a healthy way, with kids that are produced with your FOOLISH logic. We'll teach them to discern foolish behavior and to not allow fools an influential place in their life. In the end, sadly, our kids will eventually watch your kids destroy themselves (socially, physically,financially) by suffering the consequences of being a Fool.With regards to Dez Bryant. If it looks like a FOOL, and it sounds like a FOOL, and it walks like a FOOL, and it is currently suffering the consequences a FOOL would suffer...than we can pretty safely draw a conclusion there that he MUST BE A FOOL. I will speak for myself is saying that we don't want to shoot our wounded (Dez) for being a FOOL, we're just saying that the dude needs help.

[Tackling Dummies]

Owning knucklehead players is nothing new, so his value is about the same as it was as the season ended. There might be a small window of a discount in dynasty if/depending on a skittish owner.

I'll take a stab at "The Perfect Profile of a Troubled Person":-thinks foolish things

-says foolish things

-does foolish things

-Hangs with other fools

-suffers the consequences of foolish things.

-Doesn't respect authority

-Purposely rebels against authority

-Thinks people that oppose him/her are out to get them.

-Can't be corrected

-Doesn't take responsibility for their actions.

-Shifts blame to others rather than correcting the problem in them.

-Destroys themselves and their reputation

-Can't be trusted

-Puts other people in a bad spot

I'm sure there are 1,000 more characteristics...but I have some work to do.

And how stupid is the jeweler to let someone purchase that amount of jewelry on "credit"? What if he would have gotten hurt or did something that would have prevented him from getting drafted at all? If all this is true- it sounds like Dez deserves to go broke and the jeweler deserves to get stiffed. Good lesson for both of them IMO.

Bryant made close to 3 million last year alone with salry and bonus. After taxes he is in the 2 million range. As of now he is being sued for close to a million and does not have a pot to piss in if he does not get a paycheck in the fall.That one year alone could have set him up nice for a comfortable life..now that is all gone already.Warrick Dunn should speak to players coming into the league. Dunn stated on a number of occasions that he was set for life after his rookie contract, and that was 15 years ago so the salaries were much lower.

There was an interesting article in a recent ESPN the mag about a guy in Florida (Miami area?) selling jewelry to athletes and they were dropping huge dollars on stuff. ...back to the topic for a second. Things seem to be piling up w/ Bryant and I'm not sure what the play is for current Bryant owners other than to hold on.

 

[Jason Wood]

And let's figure that on top of the jewelry he's got rental/mortgage payments of a considerable nature, I'm SURE he bought or leases more than one very expensive vehicle, and compound that with what must be six figures plus in spending on other frivolities. He could very well be functionally bankrupt right now.

But hey, this kid's getting a bad rap from all of us "haters."

Being wise with finances can be taught or provided by an advisor. His support system is the thing that he needs to get and keep him on the right path. Regarding GM's and knuckleheads, just cross the guy off the list and move on.

My point, which wasn't totally tongue-in-cheek, is that if GMs avoided anyone that had a record of financial irresponsibility, or moral neutrality, they wouldn't be able to field a 53-man roster, much less an NFL draft board.

So let's get down to the real topic, what's Bryant worth now?

15-20 range along with Harvin, Maclin, VJax, Marshall, etc. I wouldnt give him away but i would definitely be looking to move him while you still might be abke to get WR1 value for him.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Bump Miles Austin a bit for sure.

And a lot of these 'loans' and 'purchases' are reportedly while he was a junior at OSU. I'm sure he'll pay the money back immediately, but it's still troubling.

Lots of smoke. Dez supporters: 'but there's no fire.'

Sparks on oily rags and a box of TNT. Dez supporters: 'still no fire.'

BOOM. Dez supporters: 'I knew that guy was trouble.'

In the Tarrant County case filed in September, Eleow Hunt of Colleyville said he sold $293,000 worth of jewelry and $12,350 worth of sporting event tickets to Bryant on credit after Wells asked him to, beginning in late December 2008 or early January 2009.

He's going to need a new adviser that doesn't advocate buying on credit..

 

[squistion]

Hmmm...seems like a bit of an overreaction here in some quarters. Despite all the bad press, Dez has yet to be charged with any crime and although he is facing three civil suits for unpaid bills, unless the laws are changed to bring back debtor's prison I don't think this will be of any concern to the league.

He obviously has some maturity issues and does not know how to handle his money (not surprising given his background). However, if I had blundered on this thread and just read the most recent posts without knowing the context, I might think that he was facing something really serioius.

Quite frankly, I don't care that people can see his underwear when he is in a mall (at least he is wearing some) or that he is irresponsible in paying his bills. I don't see any disciplinary action coming from the league and this all should have no impact on what he does on the field.

To the Dez owners in my leagues who see him as a sell high and hope to sell him while you still might be able to get WR1 value for him, please contact me and I will be more than happy to take him off your hands.

All these discussions..."does he have the right to wear his pants down or not", blah. Who cares, to me the guy acts like a caveman thug and seems to be a model imbecile brat, but that's irrelevant. Everyone is entitled to like or dislike that. Everyone has different morals and values.

Now let's get back to what this forum is about: fantasy football.

Does the string of incidents tells us something new about Dez's future fantasy value?

In light of this new info, do you think Dez might actually end up wasting his immense talent?

Is Dallas the type of organization that can straighten him out over time?

Could Dez deliver top fantasy stats even if he doesn't get his act togeter?

Yes, I do find it somewhat troubling and it is a definitely a concern, but I haven't seen enough yet to significantly devalue him in my rankings (I have moved him down slightly a few notches, but that is based on a change in his perceived value more than anything else). Actually, I see it as buying opportunity and hope to cash in on some panic selling.

But then again most on this board defended a gcompany for firing a guy over a tie, so common sense went out the window a long time ago...Now, cue the personal attacks on someone defending whats right.

You should be a spokeman for what is wrong with our education system. Your understandment of The Bill of Rights and the Constitution is appalling.

Understandment? This is schtick...right?That being said, it goes without saying that "Football Critic" is an incorrigible troll and should be avoided at all costs.

People need to remember this is the guy who previously posted as "Just Cuz"

The Mall thing doesnt bother me a whole lot, but Sanders not wanting anything to do with him, that concerns me quite a bit. Ive got a bad feeling about this young mans career.

Ok, now that I'm caught up...I'm glad i dont have to deal with many of the simple minded people on here in my personal life.Above is a very fair posting. As far as his career, I'm not a fan. But just like a guy getting fired over wearing a packers tie, getting in trouble for sagging pants is ignorant, if you cannot see the issue, I apologize to the world for your lack of common sense. His sense of style you may not agree with, but he is allowed to dress how he likes...its one of the great things about this country...FREEDOM!

I wanted to use words he would understand.

Ultimately this appears a non story, as NFL athletes do FAR FAR worse all the time and keep their jobs. That said, I do think the cumulative example of all these "minor" incidents lends credence to the notion that Dez is disturbingly immature for someone that the Cowboys are trying to build their offense around. As an Eagles fan, that's A-OK by me, though.

That's my take as well.Supremely talented kid. But we knew he had some ego/maturity baggage when he came into the league.What is regrettable is that he's one season into it and we thought maybe he learned something last year, and yet this kind of thing crops up again.And then there are the lawsuits over failure to pay for jewelry.It's small stuff, but it's still stuff.

My point, which wasn't totally tongue-in-cheek, is that if GMs avoided anyone that had a record of financial irresponsibility, or moral neutrality, they wouldn't be able to field a 53-man roster, much less an NFL draft board.

^ this. And I'll add that a lot of players in the NFL are numskulls. For some reason, NFL players have a hard time trying to avoid the police. Blame it on HGH. Blame it on socio-economic factors. Whatever. The bottom line is that if the worst thing that Bryant does is have his pants hang too low which gets him kicked out of a mall, then he's doing better than most of the others. Dez can't hold the jockstrap of Aquib Talib, Leonard Little, Ray Lewis, Ray Caruth, Plaxico Burress, Michael Vick etc,...
