Dez Bryant Blows Up In Locker Room, Criticizes Media

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Dez Bryant went off on reporters in epic fashion on Thursday and he says he had a good reason.

Bryant let it be known that he was not happy with an article from an ESPN.com writer, in which the reporter said the Cowboys need more from Bryant than a profanity-laced tirade (that came after the Seahawks game) and excuses for Bryant's lack of production against the Eagles.

Later, Bryant discovers a national writer live tweeted about his first outburst, which led to round two.  That's when Coach Jason Garrett popped in the lockeroom, and with the help of the PR Director, they got Bryant out of the locker room.B

Bryant later tweeted:  "This is why I got mad..." with a link to a screenshot that contained the following further explanation: "Yea I blew up on the media but report why I blew up on ya'll ... .saying i don't give a f***** about me and calling players n***** is not professional ..."

Bryant tweeted again: "If you going to tell something tell the whole thing...i'm done with the situation... I hope everyone is having a great day."
