If they really told a news outlet that they're blackmailing Dez Bryant then they are dumber criminals than Aaron Hernandez.

It's not blackmail it's an open auction :eng101:


Sure what they are auctioning would probably ruin one of the auction participants careers. But hey, they own a valuable video tape, and they are seeking to make money. Is that not the pure essence of capitalism.

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

The key word here is "might." The video "might" be leaked.

Florio has used less to generate clicks. He probably doesn't know jack poo poo and is just reporting on a lovely rumor like he always does, because he is a huge hack.

Hey twitter, i've seen screenshots of the video but if i were to share or describe them i would definitely get sued, on account of the law where if you see something you can't describe it without paying the blackmail fee first. little known law

well to recap last night's NHL action, the new york rangers played...well a certain team from up north, if you catch my drift. the score was...not very high, i can say that for sure. boy folks in a city rhyming with malgary sure won't be happy i can say that. legal says that's a wrap for our hockey coverage, now over to jason with a detailed sketch of the wild finish in the league we are legally obligated to call "professional dribbleball"

The guy can't flat out say what he saw because more than likely they aren't clear, they are out of context, and very likely showing Bryant performing an illegal activity that'll have serious repercussions on his upcoming contract. He absolutely should keep his mouth shut if he doesn't see dez Bryant holding a loving license with giant arrows pointing things out like "gun" and "woman" or something like that.

That still doesn't explain why legal counsel would tell him not to describe it. There's nothing libelous about saying "the screenshots I saw show Bryant raising his fist at a woman on the ground" or whatever

Because lately in the NFL when it comes to a player mollywhopping a woman you can safely assume the worst.

It's a sad situation and I really hope it's not true but no one in this forum would be surprised if it was.

Edit: Not even because it's Bryant being accused. At this point if Flacco was found running sex trafficking ring I would be only mildly surprised.

Transcript:

quote:

Carmen and Jurko: What’s going on with Dez Bryant?

Adam Schefter: That’s a very interesting question. I’ll just say this – check back with me on that one.

Carmen and Jurko: Have you heard about this video? Do you know what’s on it?

Schefter: Yeah.

Carmen and Jurko: Have you seen it?

Schefter: I have not seen it.

Carmen and Jurko: Is he doing something criminal? Can you talk about it?

Schefter: I’ll say this: I’ve been working on this since September.

Carmen and Jurko: Is it criminal?

Schefter: Like I said I’ve been working on it since September. There’s a lot involved.

Carmen and Jurko: Is this going to come out?

Schefter: Don’t know. Don’t know yet.

Carmen and Jurko: Okay. Wow. I have never heard about this until the weekend and now it’s all over the internet

Schefter: It’s taken up a lot of my time this season I’ll say that.

Carmen and Jurko: And you did it in a very clandestine way it sounds like. Did you feel like you had to?

Schefter: Well listen, whatever we’ve been working on is not ready and maybe it never will be. Who knows? You’ve got to be very careful on these things. People can talk about videos, they can talk about this they can talk about that. The fact of the matter is, it doesn’t mean anything and it’s really not fair to him right now until you have all your facts in line. Which we spent a long time trying to do.

Makes me wonder what else Schefter knows about and has tucked away, heh.

If the "former friends" thing is true, then the person with the video might be unsure about publishing it, trying to get money from Dez or maybe feeling bad about it. They might have gotten the video illegally and if Schefter knows that, he wouldn't be able to publish it without risking a lawsuit from the legal owners, Walmart or whoever. The holdup might be the legal wrangling to get permission from Walmart

Then again how did the former friends get a hold of the tape, are they Walmart security employees. That all doesn't make sense but hey i'm just tossin poo poo out there like anyone else atm
