TheGoodBits Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Multiple reports out there of a "Ray Rice style video" involving Dez Bryant. http://www.foxsports.com/southwest/story/dallas-cowboys-dez-bryant-contract-jerry-jones-stephen-jones-incriminating-video-022315 http://seattle.suntimes.com/nfl/7/72/695824/dez-bryant-video-released "They say the video is so bad it’s “five times worse than the Ray Rice video and that his “football career is in jeopardy.”" Thoughts... if there is really a video, I really wish whoever had it would have waited until after Dallas signed him to a 10 year $100m contract. Another thought... the Cowboys are the source of this rumor and are trying to use the rumor mill to create doubts about Dez and drive down his market value. Think of it as negotiation leverage. Whatever ends up being true, anything that involves the Cowboys losing always makes me at least a little happy. So let's sit back and wait for the truth about this video.

Cooleyfan1993 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 im having a hard time picturing anything worse than knocking out a fiance in an elevator though....but if true, wow...dez would be stupider than i thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 My first suspicion is that, if there was such a video, involving a Dallas Cowboy? It would have leaked already. Maybe, maybe, somebody's holding it, looking for a payoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Didn't he already assault his mom or sister? Can't remember if that was him or am I thinking of someone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeMarco Murray 29 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 "He is really good at football so this has to be a lie" That's the gist at least I think it's more along the lines of, if this happened so long ago why hasn't it came out?I'm hearing it's dealing with a child. This has been brewing since October and still nothing has surfaced from it. Could be since it involves a minor, nothing can be released. Dez should've took his millions and signed on the dotted lines months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowballing from his perspective anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor703 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 If this really involves something as bad as they say it is than holding onto the video waiting, for a pay day is despicable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only legit reason this hasn't leaked. This has been out since October and maybe Dez was trying to bribe and keep this under wraps. I'd assume this is why Dallas has been lowballing him if there are legitimate rumors swirling. Lowballing from his perspective anyway.They didn't lowball him from rumors. I read 13 mill a year was offered. But he wants more. If this is all true he will be lucky to not be in prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Dez' tweet from not too long ago seems to hint that there may be something to it. He didn't just laugh it off as asinine and not true...it seemed to hint more at saying that who he was before is not who he is now. No clue if the video story is real, though...

Morrison J Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 No idea how accurate this is but makes an interesting read anyway.. Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 1h1 hour ago This is what the general public doesn't understand about the Dez Bryant video... Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 1h1 hour ago The video was recorded by his now former friends. He was hanging around some pretty dark people. Now they aren't friends anymore. Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 1h1 hour ago So his ex-friends decided it was time for a pay day. However, noone is going to have possession of that tape until they pay. Whoever it is. Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 1h1 hour ago In conclusion, to Cowboys Nation: We don't have the tape. We have screenshots. And we're not leaking anything. Dont need a Cowboys lawsuit. Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 1h1 hour ago A deadline was set by Bryant's former friends/extortionists for today for either TMZ or Bryant's team to purchase the tape. Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 1h1 hour ago THAT is why there are reports of the tape leaking today. What happens from here on out is between Dez, TMZ, and his former friends. Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 1h1 hour ago Legal says I'm not at liberty to comment on the content of the screenshots yet. Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 51m51 minutes ago BACKGROUND: Mike Florio was a guest on 105.3 The Fan last week and was asked about the possibility of a video. His response was shocking. Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 51m51 minutes ago “It’s one of the best-kept secrets in the media,” Florio told hosts Shan Shariff and R.J. Choppy. Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 51m51 minutes ago “A story that all of the major insiders know about, known about it for months, involving a video tape. And the Cowboys are aware of it." Jaywan Inc. @JaywanInc · 49m49 minutes ago "Dez Bryant is part of "shakedown" led by two former friends that claim to have proof of a domestic incident involving a young lady." -IBN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor703 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I hope Dez buys the tape and destroys it. Speaks out about domestic violence and donates tons of money and time to educating the youth in his area on domestic violence. I would hate to see someone's life destroyed over a terrible mistake he made a long, long time ago. Especially a guy who's life was awful growing up and has made major strides in maturity. I'm not trying to absolve him of it but I'm sick and tired of our vampiric media destroying lives for a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should pay for it regardless of whether it's 5-10 years ago or yesterday. That's like someone finding out of a crime years later and saying, 'nah, he's improved himself, who cares about the rape/domestic abuse/murder/armed robbery/etc.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is absolving him of it. What I'm saying is it's not okay to withhold videos like this and then extort someone years down the line. If what he did was terrible than it should've come out at the time, not when he's going to become a very wealthy man. Hitting another person is not okay, ever but destroying someone's life so you can make a profit shouldn't be either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 If there is sufficient evidence of an actual crime being committed on the tape, couldn't the authorities step in and demand the tape be turned over as evidence? I am not fond of this entire situation as far as the "pay me, or else......" but that is an entirely different discussion then what is actually on the tape and whether it is something Dez should have to be punished for.

The police first have to have sufficient evidence that a crime has been committed...they can't demand the tape be turned over because they suspect a crime might possibly have been committed. They don't have anything now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is it's not okay to withhold videos like this and then extort someone years down the line.

Hitting another person is not okay, ever but destroying someone's life so you can make a profit shouldn't be either. Except you just said he should buy and then destroy the tape. That scenario means the people extorting him would profit, and Bryant would get to keep what he did from the public, protecting his reputation and ability to make tens of millions of dollars or more, from having the truth hurt him. What you claimed to be hoping for, therefore, does make it a lot more "OK" for both Bryant and the alleged extortionists than the tape seeing the light of day would.
