Or not, who knows, maybe video gets released today, maybe not. Maybe it's the next Ray Rice story, or maybe it's the next, I don't know, rumor that Andrew Luck ate a toddler. Mods, edit this one way or the other so I either had the appropriate righteous indignation or making fun of ourselves for reading sub-Florio rumor blogs.

Febreeze posted:

Florio and TerezOwens have been bringing this Dez Bryant thing up for a few days now

I don't believe it because nobody worth a drat is talking about it. A video of Dez Bryant beating someone up should be huge news but the best they can get talking about it is Florio, who willingly makes poo poo up just for clicks. Watch nothing drop at all tomorrow. Someone is stringing people along. Whenever there is a news tease like this poo poo it always ends up fake. "We totes have incriminating evidence, but nah, we aren't going to release it till we want to". There won't be poo poo, we'll get some excuse, they'll say they'll release it again, but by that time it'll be confirmed as poo poo.

At least that's my prediction.

I can see Dez doing it but something about the news here just smells like BS

As Terrell Suggs and Ray Rice have taught us, his main mistake was being caught on video if this is true

literally no evidence except a bunch of hacks reporting it. reporters have been circling the waters around dez for a while now, just waiting for him to slip up; i know in my heart he's better than that, and has improved and will lead the cowboys to their rightful exit in the NFC Championship Game

Isn't this the same way the Ray Rice scandal started? Lots of rumors about a video, then people calling bullshit because it was never released. Then suspension. Then video released and everyone is horrified.

With Rice we already had news of an "altercation" though. With a police report, iirc. With this we don't know what day it supposedly happened, where, with who, etc.

If I had a guess, This is video of one of Bryant's old transgressions. like maybe that time he hit his mom or something.

That's being shopped around to

1. Have the most impact on Bryant
2. Make as much money as possible.

To be fair the assault would have happened already anyway. It's not like he's willing the tape into existence by wanting the tape.

Walmart fights are the best loving fights. They bring me back to a time and remind me of the style of fights you would see in like Middle/High School. You rarely have to worry about someone dying or getting robbed or anything. It's just a nice simple fight over probably stupid poo poo in an aisle.

Also, we had the outside of the elevator footage, you know the one where he was dragging his unconscious fiancee off an elevator. The same footage that Goodell and the Ravens said was only part of the story and misleading until the footage of him coldcocking her was released.

Word around the DFW area is that Cowboys reps weren't aware that this was a thing until after Dez started complaining about it being used to sour negotiations. I want that to be true as much as I want the video to be bullshit and fake. I want Dez to be a Cowboy AND for him to stop getting into stupid trouble.

Ray Rice got arrested. You can't deny the tangible proof of a police report. When the video dropped shortly after the news was already confirmed.

We have no such police report, just a bunch of hack reporters cheekily suggesting something might be coming. This story is bullshit

If it were bullshit, then why double down and say it 'might' be released tomorrow?

I think there are 3 scenarios:

1. There is a video and info is being leaked to Florio. The person with the video might be waiting to release it to see if Dez's reps offer any hush money.

2. There is no video. Florio has no idea though and he is just repeating what some troll is telling him.

3. There is no video and Florio is making it all up for page clicks.


In my opinion, if it were scenario #3, Florio wouldn't double down on his claim by saying the video is going to be released shortly.

That leaves just scenario 1 and 2. So is it more likely that Dez beat the poo poo out of someone and it was caught on video but police were not involved, or Florio is being trolled by someone that realizes Florio is desperate this time of year and willing to publish any juicy bullshit. Could go 50/50 in my book.

Except Florio has double downed on poo poo before that went no where. They guy is a professional hack. Even if something does come out, then its a broken clock is right twice a day and would do nothing to change my opinion. If Schefter or Glazer reported this, I would be inclined to believe it but Florio is a terrible person who deserves to be the bottom of the beat writer pool for the Browns or some poo poo.

The Browns manufacture stories. A proper doom for a hack is anonymity. Exile him to the Titan beat.

For poo poo like Dez being robbed or locking his keys in the car with a baby inside, you know, poo poo you would normally call the police for? Or was it that scumbag Rapoport?

Only question I
ever thought was hard
was do I like Kirk
or do I like Picard?
I can only assume that these websites don't have the video themselves, but it has been described to them and they think they're going to get it

and the holdup is that the people who have it got it illegally (employees making a copy of store video for instance) and they're getting scurred

Info via someone who "appearently" has seen screenshots. Take with all the grains of salt

https://twitter.com/JaywanInc

quote:

This is what the general public doesn't understand about the Dez Bryant video...

The video was recorded by his now former friends. He was hanging around some pretty dark people. Now they aren't friends anymore.

So his ex-friends decided it was time for a pay day. However, noone is going to have possession of that tape until they pay. Whoever it is.

In conclusion, to Cowboys Nation: We don't have the tape. We have screenshots. And we're not leaking anything. Dont need a Cowboys lawsuit.

A deadline was set by Bryant's former friends/extortionists for today for either TMZ or Bryant's team to purchase the tape.

THAT is why there are reports of the tape leaking today. What happens from here on out is between Dez, TMZ, and his former friends.

Legal says I'm not at liberty to comment on the content of the screenshots yet.
