Chuck HDez Bryant Is Not To Be Confused With Any Mensa Members…Think Tanks Aren’t Calling

"I'm not doing it," Bryant said. "I feel like I was drafted to play football, not carry another player's pads. I just feel like I'm here to play football. I'm here to try to help win a championship, not carry another man's pads. I'm not saying that out of disrespect." (Fanhouse )
In February, shoe and apparel company Under Armour signed a yet undrafted Dez Bryant to an endorsement deal.
But less than a month after Bryant was drafted 24th overall by the Dallas Cowboys, Bryant showed up to organized team activities wearing Nike shoes and Nike gloves and apparently has been wearing that brand ever since.
On Monday, an Under Armour official told CNBC that the short-lived relationship was already over.
Nike spokesman Kejuan Wilkins said Bryant is not on the company’s list of current NFL endorsers.

Dez, my man, listen up…
First off, let’s hit on the whole, refusing to carry the veteran’s pads, in what is part of a little rookie hazing fun.
Stop acting like the Cowboys are hazing you like the 1970’s Bruins used to when they strapped said player to a gurney in the locker room and shaved said players testicles, while most likely half in the bag after about 6 Budweiser’s, postgame. Can you imagine Derek fucking Sanderson with hedge clippers in his hands after performing keg stands in the shower?
They asked you to carry some effin pads, son. Do it. It’s part of the game and rookie initiation, you overgrown toolbox. Lighten up.
Secondly, it’s pretty clear ole Dez isn’t playing with what we call “a full deck of cards” up in the ole cranium, eh? You sign an endorsement deal with Under Armour, then you just decide to show up to rookie camp wearing Nike apparel? Then, it comes out that he doesn’t even have a deal with Nike. What gives, D-Bry?
Why do I get the feeling, this isn’t exactly the last we’re going to hear out of Dezzie, off the field? I wish HBO’s Hard Knocks was back in Big D this summer. Could’ve seen J-Jones’ plastic face melt in the hot summer heat and had a couple hundred laughs with Dezzie’s antics.
Chuck
