Mike Ditka, who played TE said:
"I played for Halas and Lombardi. I can promise you that if I had done this with either one of them, I'd have been out of a job. People say that we have to tolerate this today. Do we? Do we really? As long as we let it go unpunished it's going to keep happening."
I'll add this....for those who say that you have to be a diva to be a great WR, I'd say...
Calvin Johnson.
Dez Bryant's whinning and temper tantrums could have been caused by his realization that he isn't remotely as good as Calvin Johnson. Then again, he could simply be a swell headed jerk.
What was Bryant even bitching about?
He's a pom-pom cheerleader for Obama in every political thread on this board. It's one or the other.
I sometimes watch...waiting to hearAgree 100%...
I can see Keyshawn defend Dez because he was one of those divas who coined the title...Just Give Me The Damn Ball(paraphrased) of course Diva Queen Keyshawn will defend Dez...
As for ESPN, man, it is really hard to watch this channel. Especially on game day Sunday morning. Chris Berman has to be the most obnoxious and useless on air personality.
Dez has a right to be upset.
ESPN sucks.
In order to truly believe that Dez was being selfish you need to completely ignore the comments from everyone involved, from Dez, to Romo, to Witten, to JJ, to the coaches. He was upset about losing another in a long line of winnable games, they all were. He was demonstrative? So what, Sally.... None of you know what he said, and those that do say they agree with him and they're pissed off too! Some times you need to yell to get your point across, maybe that's why most ex-players that I've seen give their take on this are defending him. Maybe they listened to the whole story and didn't just see a guy screaming on the sidelines and made up their own dialogue.
He has a right to be upset, in fact he has a professional responsibility to be upset, as does every player when they're not winning. We can argue about whether this is the way to go about it, but however Dallas has been going about it before obviously has not worked either.
Bullshit!
At the time Dez threw his temper tantrum, Dallas was winning the game!
If this had happened after the game, that reasoning might apply.
But he was throwing his fit while Dallas was winning but he wasn't getting the ball thrown his way.
