Yeah, it's not like he's a maple bar addict who breaks into doughnut shops.

Yeah, but to be a dbag and get yourself kicked out over something so meaningless is sad.

Dude if someone who has no business bugging me about the way I dress got up in my face about it, I'd be rude. I won't excuse his use of expletives or the other incidents though, hope he doesn't get arrested when he goes there later today.

Elway and Fox are on crack if they don't let Tebow continue to improve.

Its not like it was some random you or me who told him to do it. It was the security staff and if they have a rule for that, you've gotta follow it.

ESPN's article actually doesn't say security staff, but a off duty police officer which is worse if you think you can talk **** to cops

"I told the guy I'm not trying to get in trouble," Bryant said. "I'm not trying to destroy my image."

lol its a little late for that

Yes malls have rules about attire but you see kids all the time wearing pants practically around their ankles and security doesn't say anything to them about it. Not sure why but it sounds to me like they singled Dez out for some reason, may have to do with his behaviour there during previous visits.

The person that owns or works for the business most certainly has "the business" to address the way some of the customers are dressed if they wish to. If the customer doesn't like it they are under no obligation to shop there.

I mean if he was just shopping (which I doubt but I wasn't at the mall) then yeah they probably targeted him... But if he's bouncing around acting all "Oh I'm Dez I do what I want with my boys," then I have no problem with cops/security putting him in his place, which is to act like everyone else

Can't believe the stupid sh*t people will defend. Dez is an immature idiot. So glad he's with the Cowgirls.

Coach Jason Garrett made it clear Tuesday that Felix Jones can handle a heavier workload going forward.
"Coming out of college, a guy like that continues to develop into his body and able to take the pounding and punishment of the NFL that's required for his position," said Garrett. "I thought he handled that well." Garrett stopped short of labeling Jones a feature back, however, noting that he will continue to use multiple backs. It's clear that Jones is the starter in Garrett's eyes. We don't share his confidence in Jones' ability to avoid injuries with 15 touches per game.

ESPN recently had it's bloggers rank the top 10 pass rushers in the league. Redskins defense end Brian Orakpo was not on the list. He was not happy and took to Twitter, saying “I seen some list rankin the top 10 pass rushers and left me off. F–K THEM im gonna kill the league next season.” By the way, I used the edited version of the F word, he did not.

True, but I'm sure the businesses in that mall were not exactly happy to hear their security booted out a multi-millionaire with massive amounts of cash to spend.

Exactly, it's a bunch of old folgies making up stupid rules. The only thing that mall did by turning away Dez was potentially lose many stores the business of a multi-millionaire. Not a smart business decision IMO.

lol sweet... But they honestly don't let him rush enough that I'd consider him a DE and pass rusher. Its sad because thats what he does best. So while he's not wrong, he's not right either.

He's lucky if he gets 5 million of that 11 million dollar deal... I think taxes alone are going to eat close to 50% or more of that income then manager fees, helping friends and family. So if he keeps 5 (and thats being generous) over 5 years thats about a million a year, which is only 83k a month not including home mortgages (which I'm sure he wasn't smart enough to buy outright), cars, his jewelry. Overall I'd bet you or me has got more cash to spend then him , probably not credit lines he can run up , but outright cash I'd wager his finances look like crap.

This is Dez Bryant here lol he's probably not smart enough to shelter income and find all the loop-holes.

You forgot about the $55K Roy Williams ran up at a dinner party last year that Dez got stuck paying.

Sorry but he's not up there yet with Jared Allen, DeMarcus Ware and Dwight Freeney just yet. Top 10 pass rushers are guys that impact every game they're in and pretty sure the top 10 active pass rushers are all way up there in sacks, doubt Orakpo is anywhere near those totals.

Meh I mean he's pretty good for not rushing nearly as much as those guys do. He's .5 off Jared Allen's first two years, 4.5 off Freeney (who unlike Ware and Orakpo rushed 100% of the time), and tied with Ware for first two year's production.

[kpkelley]

1. DeMarcus Ware, Dallas Cowboys 15.5
2. Clay Matthews, Green Bay Packers 13.5
3. Dwight Freeney, Indianapolis Colts 10
4. Jared Allen, Minnesota Vikings 11
5. Tamba Hali, Kansas City Chiefs 14.5
6. James Harrison, Pittsburgh Steelers 10.5
7. John Abraham, Atlanta Falcons 13
8. Julius Peppers, Chicago Bears 8
9. LaMarr Woodley, Pittsburgh Steelers 10
10. Cameron Wake, Miami Dolphins 14

Brian Orakpo only had 8.5 sacks last season. Only person on the list with fewer was Julius Peppers.

Other sack leaders not on the list.

12.5 - Jason Babin
11.5 - Umenyiora, Justin Tuck, Charles Johnson
11 - Terrell Suggs, Robert Mathis, Chris Clemons, Shaun Phillips
