  • Dez Bryant Becomes Santa And Buys A PS4 For People In Line At Walmart

    I bet every gamer wishes that they could have been in line after hearing this news. Dez Bryant stopped by a Walmart in Dallas on Thursday night, and rewarded those who had been waiting in line by buying them all a brand new PS4. While some people can claim to have bought the system brand new on its launch day, there are not many that will be able to say that Dez Bryant bought the system for them.

    Dez Bryant is a wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, and in a recent career move, it seems that he decided to become Santa Claus last night. People were lined up all over the country in anticipation of the release of the new PS4 system, but only those in Dallas were lucky enough to get theirs for free.

    The PS4 was released, and hit the shelves of stores all across North America on Friday, and the consoles began selling at 12:01 a.m., with a retail price of $400.

    Dez Bryant reportedly bought a copy of the system for himself as well, which was why he was at the store.

    The news officially broke over twitter and Facebook, when people started posting about how they had their new system bought for them by the NFL star, and one person even posted his picture with Dez Bryant.

    He came to the store to buy the system, and as a spur of the moment decision, he chose to reward several other shoppers who had been waiting in line for hours. Dez Bryant has also been labeled one of the bad boys of the NFL, and has been told to grow up, maybe this is his way of showing people that he wants to change?

    The Cowboys receiver infamously threw a tantrum during their loss to the Lions during their game on October 27th.

    Dez Bryant has bragged in the past about how he is the best player of Madden on the PlayStation in the world. He may have made some new friends after his big donation last night, and will be able to show off his skills with even more people.

  • Dez Bryant’s Amazing Sideline Tantrum [VIDEO]

    The big story from the Dallas Cowboys-Detroit Lions game today wasn’t so much the 31-30 thriller that the Lions won in the final seconds as it was Dez Bryant’s epic meltdown on the Cowboys sideline. The Dallas wide receiver went off on, well, pretty much everyone. Words don’t really do Bryant’s temper tantrum justice, so watch the video below.

    After the Lions scored a touchdown with just 12 seconds left on the clock, Bryant lost his cool. Not only did Bryant get into it with fellow player Jason Witten today, he also gave Tony Romo, head coach Jason Garrett and wide receivers coach Derek Dooley a piece of his mind.

    Ironically enough, Bryant made the following post on Twitter just days before his sideline explosion:

    While a lot of guys would probably say they were sorry if they were caught going off on a coach and other players during the game, Bryant wasn’t exactly what you’d call apologetic. “My passion is always positive. I’m not saying anything wrong. I’m not saying anything bad. It’s all positive…Even when I look angry, it’s all good passion…In order to win you have to be passionate about this game. You have to let that dog come out and put it all on the line,” Bryant told the Dallas Morning News.

    Even Cowboys owner Jerry Jones doesn’t have a problem with Bryant’s behavior on the sideline. “That’s emotion and I don’t place any issue on his demeanor or his sideline activity,” Jones said. “He’s a very emotional player and this was a tough game for him to compete in because he wanted to really contribute and do everything he could for the team and to win.”

    This wasn’t the first time (and probably won’t be the last time) that Bryant has gone off on the Cowboys sideline. Bryant had a little fit back in September after hurting his ankle. This time, a Gatorade cooler was the recipient of his anger.

  • Dez Bryant is Ready for Megatron on Sunday

    Sundays in the fall have become something more than just a day of rest (like the Lord said) for many. Now, millions of people sit in front of their TVs, laptops, smartphones, or tablets to watch their favorite NFL teams and pay attention to the points players earn their fantasy teams.

    Dez Bryant is planning on getting many points for whomever was lucky enough to draft him into their fantasy teams.

    This Sunday, Bryant and the Dallas Cowboys will take on Calvin “Megatron” Johnson and the Detroit Lions. And after a conversation Bryant had with 103.3 FM ESPN Dallas, the comparisons between Bryant and Megatron are now endless (or at least until Sunday’s game is over).

    Bryant told ESPN Dallas, “Truth be told, I don’t compare myself to nobody. I think Calvin’s the best at what he [does]. I think I’m the best at what I do.”

    It was when Bryant was asked what Johnson could do that he couldn’t that has caused quite the frenzy, “I believe I can do whatever he can do. I think it’s just a pride thing. When it comes to football, just being on the field, it’s a mindset and having a mentality. I honestly believe when I’m there, I’ll be feeling like there’s nothing I can’t do. Whatever the coaches ask me to do, I’m going to do it I always feel like there’s more. I think that’s just a mindset you’re supposed to have.”

    Looks like Bryant realized maybe he needs to choose his words more wisely next time.

    It seems Cowboys owner Jerry Jones doesn’t completely agree with Bryant. On Tuesday Jones told KRLD-FM, “I think that Johnson at Detroit has got to be the best receiver or best end target, if you want to put it like that, the best guy to go to right now in the league. Dez can aspire to be that and has a chance to be that.”

    Do you mean that Jerry, or are you just trying to give your employee a little more incentive to play exceptionally on Sunday?

    Of course, once these quotes hit the internet, everyone started buzzing with their own opinions on what Bryant had to say.

    With all the media frenzy, Bryant quickly tried to clear the air. He told the Detroit media during a conference call, “I wasn’t comparing myself at all. I think a lot of people took it the wrong way. Clearly, I said there’s no comparison. That’s something that I do not do. I don’t compare myself with anybody.” He continued to explain his comments from earlier in the week, “It’s just a pride thing, like I said. Calvin Johnson set the standard, set that bar high for every wide receiver in the league. I think it’s the respect, it’s really respect to him that he makes receivers like us go out there.”

    Looks like many people got what Bryant was saying without any clarification.

    So, who do you think will reign supreme on Sunday? Bryant or Johnson? You can see for yourself on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. on FOX.

  • Tony Romo Has Bruised Ribs; Will Play Against KC

    After taking a dual-hit from both Matthias Kiwanuka and Justin Trattou during the 2nd quarter of Sunday night’s Cowboys vs. Giants game, Tony Romo remained on the ground and missed the next snap. At first glance, it almost appeared that Cowboys fans (and the rest of the NFL community) would have a chance to delight that someone else would finally be playing quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. Fortunately for Tony Romo (and unfortunately for the rest of us), X-rays after last night’s game show that Romo only suffers from bruised ribs. In talking to Dallas’s 105.3 The Fan, Steven Jones, vice-president of the Cowboys, stated that “We feel optimistic with the tests coming back negative. He’ll be sore but something he’ll be able to play with, as it looks right now.’’

    Bruised ribs are an injury that most quarterbacks deal with during their tenure in the NFL. Romo, however, has cause for special concern. During a game against the 49ers in 2011, Romo suffered a broken rib and a punctured lung after being hit by linebacker Ahmad Brooks. Despite the injury, however, Romo was able to come back into the game and lead his team to victory. Perhaps that is why the Cowboys and Romo are so optimistic concerning his return Sunday. There should still be some worry on behalf of the Cowboys, however. Dez Bryant suffered a sprain foot during the 4th quarter of Sunday night’s game, and cornerback Morris Claiborne also suffered an injury to his shoulder.

    Despite the criticism constantly surrounding Romo and his injury Sunday night, Romo showcased why he is a starting NFL quarterback. Romo completed 36 of 49 passes for 263 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception. Fans can only hope that Romo will repeat this performance next week against the Kansas City Chiefs, who saw a spark of life in their first game of the year with a 28-2 victory over Jacksonville, behind the efforts of new quarterback Alex Smith (formerly of the 49’ers) and new head coach Andy Reid (formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles).
