Dez Bryant Can Bowl, But He Can't Play Football

DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - Dez Bryant's shenanigans were on display again on Tuesday.  Check out his tweet below.  He was bowling in Arlington just weeks after breaking his ankle and before you jump to his defense, yes, this is a big deal.

Dez has consistently made all the wrong decisions as a member of the Dallas Cowboys.  He accused a Miami Dolphins Executive of calling his mom a prostitute, he wouldn't carry his teammates pads at training camp and now he's bowling on a repaired ankle.

The reason this is such an issue is because he's had trouble with that ankle all season long.  He missed time in camp and it was tender all season.  Dez Bryant needs to grow up and become a professional.  Part of being a pro is taking care of your body and not making questionable decisions, like bowling and then tweeting about it.

It just isn't smart business for Dez Bryant the businessman.  Wake up Dez, raise your game and start acting like a leader for the Dallas Cowboys!  Start by dumping your twitter account.  Not one athlete has benefitted from tweeting.  His teammate Martellus Bennett can attest to that, it has damaged Bennett's career as well.  Ochocinco is also taking grief from some in the Cincinnati organization for worrying more about tweeting than playing football.

Jason Garrett must sit Bryant down and explain his responsibilities and expectations.  It is the Head Coaches job to set expectations and demand accountability.  Just as Jason must do with Marion Barber following his ridiculous celebration penalty on Christmas night.  It is part of the job and Garrett need to be a leader as well if he wants to be on the sideline next fall for the Dallas Cowboys.
