OT: Incriminating Dez Bryant Video May Exist
There is a pretty incriminating Dez Bryant video out there, and word has it that it's about to drop soon. Deadspin is offering to pay for it, and supposedly those with possession of it have been shopping it to other outlets. Needless to say the content of the video, while unknown, is supposedly very very bad.
Shefter has been working on this story since September: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/wp/2015/02/25/espns-adam-schefter-says-hes-been-working-on-a-dez-bryant-video-story-since-september/?wprss=rss_redskins
This will be fascinating to watch play out.

If you had a video that someone would pay $1 million dollars for, would you give it up for free?
Doubtful, and quit with the fake concern. It's not like he bombed a building.
February 25th, 2015 at 4:44 PM ^
get to the point where I've turned it into a bidding war if I had the video. Let's say this were the Adrian Peterson situation, and every day this person holds the video/pictures another kid is getting his ass beat. Is it okay to hold the video/pictures then? The answer is no.
February 25th, 2015 at 4:48 PM ^
That is quite a ridiculous situation you've made up in your head.
It's not like Adrian Peterson had his kid caged up in his basement, and only brought him out for daily whippings.
I would hold out for as much money as possible with this video, and you would too.
February 25th, 2015 at 4:52 PM ^
so I would ease off with your statements about what I would do. You seem like a class act though; I'll give it a week or so before you're banned here.
February 25th, 2015 at 4:56 PM ^
it would be nice to tag users on my own list for future references.
The Trashman - Tag - Thinks whipping naked kids is an acceptable form of punishment.
Peterson should have gone to prison for that shit.

"Would like to make profit off of having evidence of said abuse"
February 25th, 2015 at 5:03 PM ^
I actually went to Michigan. Your point is invalid.
February 25th, 2015 at 5:15 PM ^
but if so, what's your point?
February 25th, 2015 at 4:48 PM ^
Here's the thing. If you're a D-bag, and you do D-baggish things, you probably hang out with other D-bags who also do D-baggish things. Sooo... if you do something stoopid, it likely was recorded by some of your d-bag acquaintances, and you can't really be surprised that they want to turn it into a payday.
Now, if he wasn't a d-bag at all, then (a) he wouldn't be hanging out with d-bag acquaintances who want a payday, and (2) there wouldn't be a video of him doing something d-baggish to begin with.
Nothing about "right effing thing" here. SHOW ME DA MONEY.
February 25th, 2015 at 4:54 PM ^
It's not about protecting Dez, it's about doing the right thing for the alleged person he's harmed. Seeing as this has been a "story" for months, someone isn't getting their justice here because this person is waiting for a higher bid.
February 25th, 2015 at 5:04 PM ^
How do you know a person was harmed?
February 25th, 2015 at 4:56 PM ^
Are you new to America?
February 25th, 2015 at 4:59 PM ^
and I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with someone trying to profit off of someone else's msideeds.
February 25th, 2015 at 5:04 PM ^
How do you even know it was a misdeed.
February 25th, 2015 at 5:11 PM ^
is trying make people think they have and sell a video of Dez Bryant licking the envelopes on his Christmas cards?
February 25th, 2015 at 5:33 PM ^
The point is, you have no idea what's on the video. Yet speculating and drawing conclusions based on completely fabricated speculation.
February 25th, 2015 at 6:41 PM ^
Sure hope not. And if there's any kind of licking involved I'll pass.

Or it could just be free enterprise. You're making some major assumptions about potential victimes etc. If it's what it's rumored to be it's really bad and I agree someone should come forth but so far we don't know.
The guy who's supposedly going to be breaking the story hasn't even seen it.
February 25th, 2015 at 7:47 PM ^
that there's a victim involved when the description used by someone "in the know" is that it's 5x worse than the Ray Rice video? What victimless crime is that bad? I'm just saying that it's either not worth all the hype/there is no incriminating video, which I hope is the case, or this person knows something that should have been turned in a long time ago. You can call it free enterprise if you want, but I'm free to think this person is an asshole if they have evidence of a serious crime and are trying to leverage a profit out of it.
February 25th, 2015 at 8:00 PM ^
February 25th, 2015 at 8:16 PM ^
and if it's not that bad, the person is guilty of extortion and Dez Bryant deserves to have his name cleared.
February 25th, 2015 at 4:39 PM ^
February 25th, 2015 at 4:41 PM ^
That would be no fun.
February 25th, 2015 at 4:49 PM ^
Then we'll find out the details later. Maybe.

They usually put out snippets of practice video every day with player interviews.
February 25th, 2015 at 4:43 PM ^
February 25th, 2015 at 4:45 PM ^
They aren't actually practicing today, so they may not have one.

A quick Google search of "Dez Bryant video" yields some very interesting results to say the least. The one that got me was "it's five times worse thant he Ray Rice video" and potentially career-ending. He also tweeted (and then deleted) a comment today about needing a raw cut reality show because we was not being able to handle the betryal right now.
As mentioned earlier he had a domestic violence charge from his mother a couple of years ago. If that was filmed (and was as bad as it sounds) it could be what's on the video.
February 25th, 2015 at 4:57 PM ^
How fucked in the head do you have to be to assault your own mother?
February 25th, 2015 at 5:05 PM ^
You should educate yourself on Dez Bryant and his upbringing. His mother was 14 when she had him, and spent time in prison for crack soon after he was born. He bounced around from home to home before college. He's had a brutal upbringing, but it doesn't excuse his assault of his mother. Let's not be so quick to judge.
February 25th, 2015 at 7:30 PM ^
and have not assaulted their mother.

I get why people are interested in this story, but from what I've gathered the world is getting super-interested about a video of a guy beating the s**t out of a woman. Count me in the minority of people who would be fine about never seeing it.
This is going to come across as bleeding-heart, but maybe its because I have a young daughter and am thinking like a Dad, but knowing that this incredibly painful moment in this woman's life (to say nothing of Bryant, who if it is true deserves to be punished but that doesn't necessarily mean in the court of internet opinion) will likely be broadcast on freaking TMZ or Gawker to drive up pageviews is terrible.
February 25th, 2015 at 5:03 PM ^
Dez Bryant - Whatever this thing is
Demarco Murray - Who knows if he'll be back; always injured
J. Randle - Always in trouble so probably won't be there if Murray leaves
Marshawn Lynch - Could retire
Drew Brees - Really old
Reggie Wayne - Probably gonna retire
Julius Thomas - Has broken Manning or no Manning throwing to him.
----
It was a good run I guess. Really should have drafted some higher character guys to keep them all in line.

Personally I am really not a fan of these "OT: I just saw this on Deadspin" threads. Seems like there are a lot of them. We can all read it and post there if we want to. Here it's just noise and when this stuff has absolutely nothing to do with Michigan, blights the board.

So there was an incident at a Walmart parking lot, where cars were registered to Dez, but it's unclear if he was there at the time. He did arrive later, and the police found that there was no offense committed. Sounds like terrible friends of Dez are trying to extort him more than anything...but an actual video will show where the truth lies.
