Look who carried Roy Williams' pads yesterday! Enablers all!
Dez Bryant says he didn't know about tradition

We should have known that Roy Williams' comments wouldn't have the last word about Dez Bryant not carrying his pads.
After all, Bryant needed to speak on the matter before we could begin to forget this mini-controversy with actual football news starting to pick up around the country.
Bryant said on Tuesday that he didn't know that rookies carrying the pads of veterans after practice was a long-standing ritual. (Hmmm.)
"I told Roy, if I knew that situation was going to turn out this big he could have walked in with his tights on," Bryant said.
Thankfully, that didn't happen and the Cowboys got an extra helper for all the difficult pads-carrying responsibilities. Jerry Jones' grandson helped Williams take off his pads today and he carried Dez Bryant's pads.
We'll be back later this afternoon with breaking news on what pads Terrence Cody carried off the field in Baltimore.
JERRY JONES SUGGESTS DEZ BRYANT WAS OVERWORKED

Reporters love Jerry Jones for the same reason that probably drives coaches crazy: Jones talks and emotes like a fan when things go wrong.
It's no surprise, then, that Jones wasn't pleased when told about Dez Bryant's high ankle sprain, which will cost the rookie 4-6 weeks. In fact, he nudged his coaching staff under the bus.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen writes on Twitter that Jones suggested Bryant was "overworked" and wasn't happy the injury happened on the second to last play of practice after all his reps and his kick return work.
"Got a feeling someone has gotten their butts chewed," Mort wrote.
Wade Phillips has a pretty sweet gig, but an unreasonable "butt chewing" or five from Jerry Jones every season comes with the territory.

REPORT: DEZ BRYANT "LIKELY" HAS HIGH ANKLE SPRAIN

UPDATE: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Friday night that he expects Bryant to miss 4-6 weeks. And Roy Williams just dropped another pass.
Tim Tebow took his rookie hazing in stride like a real man. He's still wearing it actually and laughing it off.
Had to take everyone on the O and D out to Pappas Brothers (second to Vic and Anthony's here in Houston, IMO). That place is pricey (only go there on occasion or on a gift card), I can see him racking up that kind of tab with people buying ridiculously priced wine and hard liquor. You knew they would get him somehow, less demeaning than carrying someone's pads I guess.
thats awesome...Should have carried the pads. I think its funny as hell. And because Im a Saints fan im not a cowboy hater. I could care less what they do. Its a rookie/veteran thing.
I think all of that hazing stuff has its place in training camp, but once the season starts, you are a team. Maybe if they acted more like a team they could win some games. I hope they keep up this crap though, cuz I hate the cowboys.
'Needs help'
"I told the Cowboys from Day 1 that he needs help," Deion Sanders says of Dez Bryant.
Deion Sanders: Dez Bryant needs help, but not from me

Hall of Famer Deion Sanders says he no longer serves as a mentor to Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant. But Sanders thinks Bryant needs somebody to lean on.
“He needs help. He needs help,” Sanders said on ESPN Radio in Dallas this morning. “I told the Cowboys from Day 1 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.”
Personally, I look at the story of Bryant getting into it with a mall security guard over allegedly wearing his pants low and wonder why it’s a mall security guard’s place to tell customers how to dress. But Sanders seems to think Bryant was in the wrong.
