I wondered to myself why Dez Bryant's refusal to take Roy Williams' pads was such a big story today. I assumed this reason, it's the first football story of the 2010-2011 season and it's the Dallas Cowboys therefore it will be a bigger story than it needs to be. People who believe that Bryant is already a diva receiver are mistaken.
Bryant falls into the category of 'you would be a top 10 favorite of mine if you didn't play for such a shitty team.' I cannot stand the Cowboys so cheering on Bryant would be a crime to my Packer fan hood but do I think Bryant has a very good chance to win Rookie of the Year plus make a big time dent. You bet your ass.
First off, Bryant signed for less money and is already in training camp working hard unlike other wide receivers (cough Michael Crabtree cough) in their first season. Second of all, I am hearing that he is following around Tony Romo around like Romo is his older brother. Bryant is just absorbing everything he can right now and you know who he isn't learning from? Roy Williams, that's who.
Face it, this guy knows that Bryant will take Williams' spot by week three, maybe earlier. Williams has been nothing but trouble for the Cowboys. He has complained about a variety of things already in his career and this is just another thing for him to whine about. He should be more worried about competing for his spot rather than some 'rook' not taking his pads.
