Filed under: Cowboys, NFL Training CampThanks now to Dez Bryant, LeBron James isn't the most me-bloated, self-sniffing rebel without a pause button on the planet. See, Roy Williams told Dez to carry his shoulder pads like a good rookie, and Dez told him to get his own shine box because Dez doesn't play that.
Even though his well-accomplished number-sake did. And from first-rounders to free-agent camp bodies throughout the history of the league, just about everyone else did when they were a rookie. Because there's a lesson in it about humility. Because no matter how swoll your bankroll or swagger rating on "Madden '11", you need to earn respect in the room. Because the sum of the room wins in football.
And while Dez has declared much through a couple days in San Antonio, impressing the eyes with a series of one-handed snares and deep grabs, the Cowboys will only win in a house not divided. So while it's news that Dez dons Michael Irving's jersey, the voices in that locker room had better make sure now that it doesn't say H1N1 on the back instead of 88.
Romo better order a Code Red.
And blame it on the ghost of Terrell Owens.
