Cowboys' Dez Bryant unapologetic after outbursts:
Dez Bryant got a lot of attention on Sunday for his sideline tantrums directed at Tony Romo, tight end Jason Witten and wide receivers coach Derek Dooley. Probably too much attention, considering all the amazing moments in Detroit's last-second win over the Dallas Cowboys.
Bryant was unapologetic after the game. He sees his emotion as a strength.
"My passion is always positive," Bryant said, via ESPN.com. "It's
always positive. It's going to remain the same way. I'm not saying
anything wrong. I'm not saying anything bad. It's all positive. That's
just what it is. I'm the nicest person off the field. When I'm on the
field, even when I look angry, it's still all good passion. It's all
good passion. I feel like that's what we need. I'm going to remain the
same way. I feel like I love this game. I love it. In order to win,
you've got to be passionate about this game. You have to be. You've got
to let that dog come out and just put it all out there on the line."
We essentially agree. Bryant might learn over time that being so
demonstrative puts his teammates in a bad spot in the locker room
answering questions, but ultimately his passion is part of what makes
him great. This is football. A lot is said on Sundays that is
immediately forgotten afterward, except by those of us writing and
talking about it.
"That's [the media's] problem, because everybody knows up in this
locker room who I am," Bryant said. "It's been that way since Day 1. The
day that I got drafted, like I told y'all, don't get it twisted: I love
this game. I love my teammates. That's what it is."
