Dez Bryant denies taunting injured Ricardo Lockette with 'That's what you f-cking get' after injury (VIDEO)

Dez Bryant returned to the field Sunday after missing the last five games with a fractured right foot. The Cowboys' star made two catches for 12 yards while on the field for 48 of Dallas' 58 offensive plays in the Cowboys' 13-12 loss to the Seahawks . 

But after the game, Bryant was particularly upset with tweets that accused him of taunted Ricardo Lockette with, "That's what he f-cking gets," while the Seahawks receiver was laid out on the  turf of AT&T Stadium.


It all started late in the first half when Dallas safetyJeff Heath delivered a blindside shot that knocked out Lockette. Pushing and shoving between the teams ensued, while a cart was driven onto the field and Lockette was strapped down and taken to a local hospital for a precautionary exam.

In a seven-second video clip, Bryant appears to utter a profanity while he points his index finger at Seattle linebacker Bruce Irvin.

In the locker room, Bryant angrily denied wishing harm upon Lockette and put the blame directly on media for creating the rumors. When asked if any of the Seahawks accused him of the profanity, Bryant responded with "Nah man. Y'all did, man. Bull s--- media did," reported ESPN.
"I won't ever, ever, ever, ever wish bad on a player that's been knocked down. C'mon, man. Stop with the bulls---," said Bryant. "Not once did I say that's what you get. I got on one knee and prayed for that man.
          "I got on one knee and prayed for him. C'mon, man. Don't put clips together and do 
            that."


Bryant also defended himself in a since-deleted Tweet.


With no other accusations from anyone else on the field, it just might be Bryant's word against social media's. 

Only a lip-reader knows for sure.

Dez Bryant says last-place Cowboys will still 'run the East' (VIDEO)

Dez Bryant didn't let Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Giants take any of the bluster out of the Cowboys' goal of winning the NFC East title — even before he hit the locker room.


The Cowboys, who have now lost four games in a row since Tony Romo went down with a broken collarbone in Week 2, face an uphill battle to even make the playoffs. But that didn't phase the sidelined wide receiver as he was walking off the field at MetLife Stadium and brashly told Giants fans that the Cowboys are "still gonna run the East" this year.




Considering that the Cowboys (2-4) will go with either Brandon Weeden or Matt Cassel for at least the next three weeks, that's a mighty bold statement from Bryant.

Romo isn't expected to return until Week 11, which means the Cowboys will have to play the Seahawks and the Eagles in the next two weeks without him.

Bryant is hoping to get back on the field for next Sunday's game against Seattle. But beating the Seahawks with Cassel or Weeden at quarterback is going to be a tall task.

But, as with every year in the NFC East, it's crap shoot. And this year might be the wildest division finish ever.

Dez Bryant to appear on cover of 'Rolling Stone' magazine

Like the Dr. John song says: But the thrill we've never known, Is the thrill that'll getcha when you get your picture, On the cover of the Rollin' Stone.

And according to an excited Dez Bryant’s Instagram account, the Dallas Cowboys wide out will be the next face to appear on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. It’s the iconic magazine’s NFL Special, and the Bryant article is titled, “The Trials and Triumph of Dez Bryant.”


"I'm blessed and no one in this world can take that away from me," the NFL player wrote on Instagram. "I wouldn't change a inch of me for the world... God wanted me this way so I embrace it and try to be a strong example for the ones who struggle and think it's never a way ... thank you Rolling Stone for sharing the real Dez Bryant."


The 26-year-old is a two-time Pro Bowler who had 88 receptions for 1,320 yards and 16 touchdowns last season and just signed a five-year, $70 million deal last month.

First Donald Trump and now Bryant. How far we've come from the anti-establishment figures Rolling Stone first put on covers in the 60's.

Dez Bryant and teammate Tyler Patmon exchange punches in scrimmage fistfight (VIDEO)

Things got a little heated in the Dallas Cowboys training camp when wide receiver Dez Bryant and teammate Tyler Patmon came to blows after a play during a scrimmage Sunday.


The incident started late in the day when Patmon jarred Bryant's helmet loose during the 11-on-11 play and Bryant responded by yanking off Patmon's helmet. Patmon threw a punch and backed away, and Bryant came back with a wild left hook before teammates separated them.

The two continued fighting on the sideline before they were eventually split up by quarterback Tony Romo. 

The Cowboys posted video of the exchange on their website.




Romo was eventually able to get Bryant to move to a different part of the sideline, while Patmon stood with players and other team personnel nearby.

When practice ended a few minutes later, head coach Jason Garrett spoke briefly to Bryant, who then walked over to Patmon and hugged him while fans nearby cheered after earlier yelling at Bryant to calm down.


"I got a little bit overheated," Bryant said later. "At the end of the day, that's something that you really need for a team, on a team. I'm just trying to win ballgames."

"If you would’ve seen the play before, I was giving him a little bit of mouth, just talking a whole bunch of stuff to him,'"he said, according to the Dallas Morning News. 

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who had already left the practice field, wasn't bothered by the skirmish.

He said he caught footage of it on television and said, "Man, you'd have thought it was CNN featuring some big event going on."


"That's training camp. That's not new," he added. "That's been happening at our training camp for years and years and years."

Dez Bryant's 'Ray Rice-style' video could jeopardize career: Report

Dez Bryant’s may have more than contract problems to deal with if a video clip reportedly "five times worse than the Ray Rice video" is released. Word is the Dallas Cowboys star's entire NFL career could be in jeopardy if the video he allegedly appears in is as bad as the rumors imply.



The rumored clip of Bryant doing something ‘Ray Rice-worthy’ has reportedly stalled his contract negotiations with the Dallas Cowboys and, according to Terez Owens,  a “source” has informed them the “incriminating video of Dallas Cowboys superstar receiver Dez Bryant is being released today or tomorrow” is to blame.

The Owens site reported:

THE INCRIMINATING VIDEO OF DALLAS COWBOYS SUPERSTAR RECEIVER DEZ BRYANT DOING SOMETHING SUPPOSEDLY RAY RICE WORTHY IS BEING RELEASED TODAY OR TOMORROW. ACCORDING TO OUR SOURCE, THE COWBOYS HAVEN’T DONE A HUGE DEAL WITH DEZ BECAUSE OF CONCERN OVER THE VIDEO. UNFORTUNATELY BRYANT’S TEAM WON’T BE ABLE TO STOP THE TAPE FROM GETTING OUT TO THE PUBLIC. OF COURSE COWBOYS COO STEPHEN JONES DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH A VIDEO. THIS IS GOING TO BE A GAME CHANGER FOR THE COWBOYS FUTURE. 

It was Later UPDATED: WE’RE BEING TOLD THE COWBOYS HAVE WARNED DEZ THE TAPE IS GOING TO BE RELEASED, AND FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS SEEN IT, THAT IT’S FIVE TIMES WORSE THAN THE RAY RICE VIDEO. HIS FOOTBALL CAREER IS IN JEOPARDY ACCORDING TO OUR SOURCE.

Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com said the Cowboys were afraid this “incident,” if released to the public, would have a “Ray Rice-type of an impact.” But, right now, it's all hearsay and there aren’t any details of what Bryant did. 

Stephen Jones, the COO of the Dallas Cowboys, claims the rumors are untrue and that no such video exists. But if it is real and the footage gets released to the public, it could also have a huge impact on the NFL.

And Bryant? He tweeted this:

Imprisoned Cowboys fan files $88 billion lawsuit against NFL for reversed Dez Bryant play: Report


One Cowboys fan — with more than enough time on his hands — thinks that the overturned Dez Bryant catch two weeks ago is just plain criminal and wants someone to pay.

Inmate Terry Hendrix, who is incarcerated in a Colorado correctional facility, has filed a lawsuit against the National Football League seeking over $88 billion in damages because of the controversial call against Dallas in the divisional playoff game against the Green Bay Packers.


Hendrix is reportedly seeking $88,987,654,321.88 in damages from the NFL "for but not limited to: negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and also reckless disregard," according to WFAA.com.

The jailbird specifically names NFL Vice President of Officiating Dean Blandino, referee Gene Steratore and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in the lawsuit.


Bryant's catch, which was ruled incomplete after a video review, would have put the Cowboys at the 1-yard line. Hendrix writes "the Cowboys' offensive line would have perfectly created an 'Autobahn' for DeMarco Murray to drive into the endzone for the score and victory."

If Charles Manson can find love on death row, I guess anything is possible.

Eagles fan posts Craigslist ad seeking secondary help and a new quarterback (PHOTO)

One Eagles fan got so fed up with the team's defense, he resorted to Craigslist with a hilarious ad looking for some help.

After the Eagles' secondary got undressed for 38 points and three touchdowns to Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant in last Sunday's loss, this ad appeared in the "gigs" section of the Philadelphia Craiglist:




We are a great football team with an elite Special Teams, Offensive unit and plan, and Defensive Front 7, but our Secondary just isn't able to help us close the deal. Can you play Safety or Cornerback? Are you willing to turn your head when the ball is coming toward your man and break up a pass? Can you keep your hands to yourself when you're not making a play on the ball? Do you know how to hold coverage, not blow your assignment, and let the Wide Receiver you're supposed to be covering have 20 yards of space around him while you're double-teaming a decoy? Bonus if you can complete an open field tackle or complete an interception.
Then we want you. Not much football experience or talent required, as all you'll have to do is be better than Bradley Fletcher or Cary Williams.


In case the fan doesn't get the defensive help he thinks the team needs, the ad also requested an upgrade over quarterback Mark Sanchez too.

If you know anyone who can throw a ball to someone 20 yards away without having it intercepted by a guy who is only 10 yards away, let him know that we might need him, too.

If you think you meet that criteria, respond here — or let us know in the comments section why you might qualify as an upgrade over Fletcher, Williams or Sanchez.

The guy might want to post this ad in Eugene or Tallahassee — just sayin'.
