He's been a Niner for 9 years; he should be used to the (there's a lot of words I'd like to use here) fan base.
Nah, I know what he meant, though. It was just lazy wording he used.

What do you mean? This is a proud fanbase through thick and thin.

A couple of the board members who have seen my posts over the years on various boards probably know by now I don't have a lot of fan tolerance for a lot of stupid junk that is so common in today's game. I'm more irritated with more actions than most people are these days. I don't have a hard time criticizing any stupid decision I see in sports.
However, Dez was always one of those kids I hoped could turn his life around even though he became a Cowboy. I had tremendous expectations for his career and what I thought he could do in the league if he just stayed clean. This right here is about as bad as anything I've seen in his background, though. I don't really root for his on the field work any more because he's a Cowboy but I'd like to see him grow up off it but this is beyond maddening because it's so avoidable.
And what makes it worse is Randy Moss' excuse making for it this morning. I don't have the clip of it but if you can find his rant on it, go watch it. I never was able to stand Randy for similar reasons and now he's getting paid to continue to be stupid. That's a whole other rant in itself.

Alex Flanagan:
I asked Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant after Dallas' game about reports he's missed up to 40 team meetings over the past few years. Here is what he told Me...
"Oh man, it’s just crazy. You know, like I said before, I got to be America’s most hated, you know. We don’t even know who is saying it, you know, that’s the crazy part about it. You know, I get messages from my friends talking about ‘what is this crazy?’ because it is crazy. Twenty to forty meetings? Tell me when? Tell me please. Tell me. At the same time, I’m not going to lose focus on some he said, she said. We don’t even know who said it to be honest. Because I know exactly what we have been building in this organization. It’s totally different, not like in the past. Like I said, you see me as a man, I owned up to mine. And that’s exactly what I’m going to keep on doing. I refuse to let any of this crazy crap take me off from what we are trying to build here. If I was never injured, none of this stuff would be said. And at the same time, whoever said it, they got a name, they would have to put themselves out there, And you know they didn’t, so they can take that s--- and go on back to business.”
Would love to see the breakdown between those that believe it's closer to what the source said or the ones that believe it's closer to Dez's account. At this point I know which way I lean. His answer isn't even that good if you were hoping for a matured Dez IMO.
And the dumbest part about it is, he's STILL one of the extremely rare exceptions I'd probably make and want to take on if I had the chance.

Will that be predicated if DeForest is available?
"No, because they play different positions."
Aren't they both outside though? They play different sides?
"No, DeFo is a defensive lineman and he's an outside linebacker."
