Dez Bryant cannot tell a lie
Posted by HenryJames on October 29th, 2009 under Football
From Tulsa World.
Bryant was interviewed by ESPN on Tuesday night from DeSoto, Texas. Why was he in DeSoto, Texas on a Tuesday night? Who are you? The NCAA?
After weighing in on the Pelagian Controversy, Bryant said his immediate plans were to “Just keep going in my normal routine. I’m going to get up and go to practice like I’m supposed to. I’m going to support the team, go to class, do my work and move forward.”
Starting on Wednesday.
According to the Tulsa World’s sources, “during his suspension, his attendance at OSU practice sessions has been sporadic.” Only because he was in the library looking up the definition of the word ‘sporadic.’
So yeah, he’s going to turn pro. Even if he says he’s unsure.
“I’m just thinking about what’s going on right now,” Bryant said. “God has got the best decision for me.”
Well if it was up to God, he’d probably have Bryant down in Gainesville catching passes from His Son. Talk about forsaken.

I wish they weren’t playing Kentucky next. Same goes for #11 seed Washington having to play West Virginia.
Sucks that we are getting the two best teams left in the tourney playing in the Elite 8 possibly.

With Leach at the wheel I was expecting a 10 win minimum season with the guys this team has coming back in 2010. Now with Tubbs, Willis, and Brown running the show I’m in agreement it’s anywhere between 9-12 wins this year.

No problem.
“Too Easy” has had his share of leg and ankle problems this season, and with two minutes left in the Spartans’ second round matchup with Greivis Vasquez and the Maryland Terrapins, he made an early exit.

I think your overall point is a good one. Barnes is a “system” guy especially defensively, which plays into how he overall plays the game. He wants to play a high pressure, overplay man2man scheme predicated on effort, good technique and overall quickness. Similar to Duke, but even Coach K (in fairness

The title of the article is wonderful: “Bryant recalls ‘difficult’ interviews ”
I can imagine just about any interview, short of one being performed by a dyslexic 2nd grader, would be classified as ‘difficult’ for Dez.

“Reflecting on his July 24 and Sept. 15 interviews with the NCAA, Bryant said, “It was very difficult. It was all unexpected. I just tried to answer the questions as truthfully as I could, and I made a mistake. I wish I hadn’t.” ”
Wait. He tried to tell the truth, but didn’t, and now he wishes he did? I’m confused. Telling the truth is pretty fucking easy if that’s all you’re trying to do.

Possibly the best two sentences I’ve read in the 2009 season. Top notch.

“So yeah, he’s going to turn pro. Even if he says he’s unsure. ”
His suspension is for a calendar year so unless he is interested in coming back to college to play only the 2nd half of next year, he is done at OSU. But yeah he was done at OSU regardless of the suspension in the first place.

So, whose house is he staying at in suburban Dallas? Kid is from Lufkin, and should have a place in Stillwater, but suburban Dallas? Hmm….
Also, who arranged the interview with Calvin Watkins (a guy with two weeks experience at ESPN, which was obvious in the interview. Watkins has been a beat writer for the FW Star Telegram for years until this new ESPN Dallas.com thingy). Hmm…
Doesn’t Deion’s kids live in DeSoto (but go to school in Cedar Hill)?

Lonhorn’s making fun of a star athlete’s intelligence. Now that’s funny!
Telling a lie about something that the NCAA eventually determines is not a violation is worthy of a year’s suspension. Yeah, that sounds about right.

“Telling a lie about something that the NCAA eventually determines is not a violation is worthy of a year’s suspension. Yeah, that sounds about right.”
You’re right … it doesn’t sound right. Hence the inference that something much more significant lurks behind the scenes, waiting to burst forth in all its hidenousness like some scabrous, scythe-wielding maniac springing from a closet in a cheap horror movie.
(Sorry, going for a little Halloween theme there. Anyway, you gotta know there’s more to it than just that incident. And for the most part, our short-bus guys end up on academic suspension, or just plain gone — not on preseason AA lists.)
