Deion Sanders Says Cowboys WR Dez Bryant Needs Help

Deion Sanders, who stopped mentoring Dez Bryant months ago, strongly criticized the Dallas Cowboys receiver in reaction to the criminal trespass warning given to Bryant over the weekend at a Dallas mall. "I'm upset but not surprised whatsoever," Sanders said Friday morning on the Ben & Skin Show on ESPN 103.3 FM in Dallas. Sanders described Bryant's behavior at NorthPark Center on Saturday as "ignorant." The 2010 first-round pick was issued the warning after an off-duty police officer requested that Bryant and his friends pull up their pants because their underwear was showing and Bryant responded with repeated profanity, according to the police report. "He needs help. He needs help," Sanders said, citing issues stemming from Bryant's difficult childhood. "I told the Cowboys from day one that he needs help. Matter of fact, they have a team in place to help him. But you cannot tell a grown man what to do." Sanders, who was recently elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and serves as a mentor to many NFL players, said he ended his relationship with Bryant over the summer due to the receiver's dishonesty. "I wish Deion would come to me as a man and talk to me," Bryant told ESPNDallas.com. "I've been reaching out to Deion. I've never done anything wrong to Deion or disrespected him. I've never lied to Deion." The NCAA suspended Bryant in September 2009 for the rest of that season for lying about having lunch with Sanders and no other rules violations were found, but Sanders said it bothered him that he took a lot of the blame for Bryant's lie.

Gotta know when to cut your losses.......

Deion thought he could take Dez under his wing and do him some good but in the end......Bryant was more trouble than he is worth.

Jerry passed on Randy Moss in 1998 because of character issues and thought he made up for that last year when he moved up for a Top 5 talent in Dez.

Sooner or later......Bryant is going to make Jerry regret passing on Moss more than he had ever let on in the past.

 

wow, i actually agree with deion on something. imp2:

 

props to Deion for knowing some people can't be helped.

 

Say what? That makes no sense at all to me.

 

I didn't stutter......thats how I truly feel.

This is the first major red flag against Dez since entering the league. To have someone like Deion come out and basically say he doesn't want anything to do with him is pretty alarming.

I have a feeling that sooner or later......Dez's problems are going to be too much for the Cowboys organization to handle and may have to sever ties with him as well.

 

Another laughable story in the Dez Bryant Sag-Gate...

 

it just shows a lack of resepct. many laughed at the early "non stories" about allen iverson with how he disregarded dress codes and acted like the world owed him something.

of course, that all worked out fine and so should this.

 

how you turned out compared to the clean cut guys really has nothing to do with this. dez bryant isnt a 15yr old punk, he's an adult, a person being paid millions that represents a billion dollar business entity and walking around with your pants down at your thighs showing your underwear at any age is disrespectful from ANYONE let alone from this guy.

look, i was a metalhead that wore ripped jeans, denim jackets with the patches and had long hair, but a crazy thing happened, i grew up.

 

No...it's a laughable story from beginning to end and for both sides. Bryant's laughable, the mall is laughable...

It's what happens when the news is slow.

 

Cryptic

Why Im glad we still have Austin, all our WR egg's arent in one basket

I wouldn't be surpised if we draft a WR in the 3rd or 4th, to develope as a contingency

 

Just saw this.....

 

Bryant is ignorant, Bryant is a great player. Honestly who the heck cares what Deion Sanders thinks.

LMFAO, you people who are talking about how Dez Bryant is trouble and needs help. GET A FREAKING GRIP. Good god. He walked around dressed with saggy pants.

It's not like he flipped the bird to the fans or shot a gun off at a strip club into his own leg. You guys need to get a life and find some real news. This is ridiculous.
