I had the volume down some, so correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the guy rapping call Romo a homo, and something bad about Witten? It was hard for me to understand what they were saying. I'm not used to listening to rap.
I know Tellus and he's crazy and very outgoing but there's nothing at all wrong with that clip.
...but did he call Romo a homo and also say something negative about Witten? If so, then rapping or not that was wrong and not a very good career move.
Last time I checked, guys his age are men, not kids. With that comes responsibility that includes not saying things like that about teammates, even if joking around, and especially for the world to view. I guess I could be a jerk to someone then say, hey, I'm just joking around homes.Just a kid having fun.
Yeah, didn't get a chance to see it - anyone care to elaborate as to what was said in his rap?
Again, haven't seen it, but based on what most have said in this thread, I deem this
It was Bennett doing a [admittedly poor] freestyle about how wealthy he is, how he never has to pay for anything, how he's a big deal playing for the Cowboys, catching passes from Romo, hanging out with Witten, etc...
Too late, it was pulled. And to those above like Wood who say this was no big deal and those who say anyone who thinks so is an old curmudgeon, I say to you it's fine for him to act like a kid in private all he wants, but when he went public and disrespected various cultural groups AND disrespected the man who pays him by going on and on about "taking" his money, WHILE wearing part of the uniform (helmet) owned by the man who pays him, then he is not just a kid having fun. He is an idiot who doesn't have the sense to know he is supposed to be representing while in public that team and that man who pays him, and at nearly 22 he should at least be grown up enough to figure that out. Man up Tellus.Curmudgeon out.For home viewing
Yup, he is acting like an immature child. The problem I see is that kids don't win SBs, men do.
all i heard was "i ain't never been a homo," and the line about witten was something about catching passes IIRC--i saw it as a shoutout and a positive thing (although the homo line is still a little questionable and non-PC).granted i wasn't exactly going over it with a microscope, as it wasn't a great rap and i wasn't outraged like some apparently were
the 'homo' thing i'm with you on, but if you think a young black guy saying N***a is doing so with a context of 'disrespecting a cultural group' you're sadly out of touchToo late, it was pulled.

When I see people calling for their teams to dismiss the criminals, adulterers, bad fathers, drunks and substance abusers from their teams, I'll start crying in effigy for teams to remove the "young and stupid" crowd.Too late, it was pulled.

Right...because Super Bowl teams aren't littered with men of questionable moral fiber. Do we really have to go down that road and start documenting how many teams [sB champs among them] had key contributors who, in other parts of their lives, made far less intelligent choices than making a silly rap video for YouTube?Yup, he is acting like an immature child. The problem I see is that kids don't win SBs, men do.
"Nurse, Mr. Potato is waving his walker around and yelling about 'Kids these days!' again. Right in the middle of the shuffleboard game."
Who are more than willing to turn a blind eye when it suits them
I just checked his 2009 salary, and it's $385,000 so one game would be a fine of a little over $24,000.
he was solid in his rookieseason.
Just a kid having fun.
