Don't Haze Me Bro...

I’ll give you a comment just for that.

I think Phase 2 is not going to involve credit cards; that was just an example. No way Roy’s gonna say his plan and then do it.

The big question is if all the vets get Roy’s back and help tie Dez to the goalposts or not. This could certain divide the team internally, as those who want to win will back Dez and those who want to haze rookies back Roy.

Personally, I hope Miles Austin comes down with a season-ending case of blue balls from my girl Kim and ends up the big loser in all this. Syphillis will work too.

I LOVE this, haha. As Philly fans we get so much negative media portrayal, so I do enjoy the Cowboys getting this crap. This whole thing is blown out of proportion. If you were in Dez’s position would you carry Roy Williams’ gear? The dude sucks and he’s an absolute dick. Can’t really blame Bryant for acting that way, but in a few days he’ll probably give in to the hazing. And if this was some 6th round pick no-name this would be a non issue, but since its Dez Bryant the media has blown it up. But I really do appreciate how hard the national media (and ESPN in particular) are working so hard to make Bryant the next TO. Hopefully the work pays off.

Everytime he’s open throw the ball to someone else.

He just didn’t want to do the extra work.. same laziness he showed in his pro day.

Seriously though, the Eagles locker room doesn’t allow rookie hazing.

I think he will be Offensive ROY. And if I were him I wouldn’t carry any ones pads either. In HS I didn’t let the seniors: shave my head, poor hot sauce on it, dress me up like a girl and run through the KoP mall.

Cowboys’ Bryant never expected pads to be an issue

  SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Dez Bryant insists he was unaware of the rookie ritual of carrying a veteran’s shoulder pads after practice. The Dallas Cowboys’ first-round pick would have done more than that had he known his refusal to accommodate Roy Williams’ request would become such a big issue.

Welcome to Dallas, son. Everything the Cowboys do — like buy special houses for sex and crack-smoking — is a big issue.

 "I told Roy this … he could have walked in with his tights on," Bryant said after the first of Dallas’ two practices Tuesday. "I would have took his shoulder pads, his pants, his helmet, his socks, his shoes. I would have took everything. But you know what, that’s not even an issue."

I’m not even touching that.

Bryant, the talented receiver who slipped to 24th overall in the draft because of questions about his character and talk of him skipping meetings and classes at Oklahoma State, said he is trying to do all the right things with the Cowboys at training camp.
 "But it seems like I can’t do the right thing because every little thing that I do (reporters) watch it and try to make a big deal out of it," Bryant said.

Welcome to the NFL, son.

Plenty of drama and headlines ensued when Bryant didn’t carry Williams’ pads after the first workout in pads Sunday, then he said he was drafted to play football not to take care of someone else’s gear. He jogged off the field without commenting Monday after the story had spread so quickly and widely.
 Bryant was clearly frustrated Tuesday as he answered repeated questions about the situation and his relationship with Williams, all while signing autographs for fans chanting their support for the rookie wearing No. 88.
 "We are fine. Matter of fact, it is not even a situation," Bryant said. "Me and Roy are great. Not only Roy, but the whole team. … Everybody on the team likes me and I like everybody on the team. (Reporters) are trying to put me and Roy against each other. That’s not going to happen. We’re trying to do something real special here."

We’d prefer that you didn’t. Maybe make it look special, then fail miserably sometime in January. Thanks.

As Bryant signed footballs, caps, posters and T-shirts with media surrounding him, several fans shouted "Leave him alone" and "We want Dez!" Though Bryant is expected to challenge for the starting spot opposite Pro Bowl receiver Miles Austin on a team with Super Bowl expectations, Williams has repeatedly said that everything is good between all the receivers.
 "Every team I’ve been on, and all the different guys that have been in our groups, the receivers have always been a tight-knit group. That’s what we are right now," Williams said. "It’s not me vs. Dez, or me vs. Miles or Miles vs. Dez. When it comes down to it against Washington (in the season opener), it’s going to be us vs. them."

And I’ll be rooting for them, sadly.

The Shegles are nervous!

Well you knew they’d show up. Like a bunch of roaches coming out of the woodwork. They heard about there was a new post their new hero (who hasn’t even played a snap), and they came running. Lez Bryant’s fanbase is now in the house. And of course they gave nothing to the post.

You know what one of the biggest problems is? They lump everything like this into one general term of hazing. They consider carrying a guys shoulder pads hazing, but then they go and consider ramming a stick in somebodies ass hazing as well. Well shit yeah, humans are notorious for focusing on the worst aspect of a particular situation. People hear the word rapper and they immediately think black man from the ghetto who probably was a gangsta at some point in his life and he is probably making music about fucking bitches, selling drugs and killing people. They forget that Will Smith is considered a rapper, or the Roots, or any number of people not associated with violence. So they hear hazing and think of circle jerks and things forcibly placed in your ass and totally forget about the harmless shit that could be closer to being considered simply busting someone’s balls, like carrying a vets shoulder pads or shaving your head.
Hazing is simply a rite of passage that bonds you to other people who you will share some form of a group actvity with. It’s meant to let you know that the people who are already members accept you and want to bring you into the fold.
Also this,

The only guys I remember growing up who got "hazed" were dudes who couldnt fight back

And now Dez is saying he didn’t realize this was a tradition and he will fix it … looks like the locker room explained the situation. I suspect this would have happened to all the above “tough” guys who said they would have not done it too.

He made a mistake and the media ran with it. He says the WR corps isn’t at eachothers throats and he said he didnt understand when it happened… so we’ll see how true tht is. But I have a better point: What would he have said to Miles?

i love u guys
