– “Y’all don’t want me to go to the NFL or something?” I don’t know about y’all, but I do want Dez in the NFL.
– “I haven’t did anything wrong to nobody.”
– “Just because I’ve experienced bad things, that don’t make me no bad person. That don’t make my mom a bad person. My mom overcame a lot of adversity just as well as I have.” Just a reminder, Dez’s mom was a 14 year old mother (not a judgment, just context for what he was talking about) and perhaps spoke English as a second language.
– This is about Adam “Pacman” Jones. Click the link if you don’t remember all there is about Pacman. “Why down talk the man? The man did everything right. He’s working out. He’s doing good. What happened in the past was the past. That’s just like anybody else. If they did something wrong, they would be looking for a second chance.” Yep. Pacman did everything right, and is just like anyone else. Yep.
Of course, the most ironic of Dez’s quotes is this: “I don’t say anything wrong to nobody.” My English teacher would disagree. That said, you almost have to be a fan of Dez Bryant, just because of where he came from. The mere fact that he is moving on to the NFL and isn’t dead in a gutter is a success for a child born into his circumstances, and every moment he hasn’t found trouble is a testament to his character. Let’s hope it’s stronger than the impression this article may suggest. I’ll be rooting for him.
And how fun would it be if he ended up on the same team as Yodeling Cold McCoy? (Jon Gruden’s QB Camp is brilliant, btw.)
