Big Bill for Dez

    Back in training camp Dez Bryant got into
trouble with his teammates on the Dallas Cowboys.
The first round draft pick out of Oklahoma State
refused to carry veteran receiver Roy Williams'
shoulder pads back to the clubhouse after practice.
It is one of the little hazing chores that veterans do
to rookies on the team. Other tricks include having

first year players sing their school songs after meals
to the entire squad of Cowboys. Bryant apologized later
to the team and to Williams, saying he did not know it
was a traditional thing. This past Sunday after the Cowboys
won their first game of the season, a 27-13 victory over
inner-state rival Houston, Dez took the entire team out
to eat at the Pappas Brother's Steakhouse. It turned out 
to be a meal for all of his teammates costing Dez almost
fifty-five thousand dollars.  Food and drink for all averaged
out at just over one-thousand dollars per man. You can
bet that Dez is out of the doghouse with his teammates after
this little gesture. The Cowboys have this week off to enjoy
that first win, and now they must prepare for the Tennessee
Titans the following week. Bryant is nursing a rib injury, but told his teammates he will be ready for the next game.
