Dallas Cowboys wide reciever Dez Bryant has some issues. One the plus side for him, the issue with the Mall appears to have been resolved. On the negative, he's now the target of a lawsuit claiming he's not paid his bills.

He's being sued by a New York jeweler who says Bryant hasn't paid him for the $240,000 of jewelry that he ordered in 2010. And....according to the Dallas Morning News, he's being sued for another $293,000 of  jewelery and $12,000-plus of sports event tickets that he charged. Mind you, both of these "Lawsuits" were for purchases he apparently made before he was drafted.

Ok. If reading this pisses you off, it probably should. We are in no position to tell young Mr. Bryant how to live his life, but somebody probably needs to.

With the NFL on strike and the NFLPA (not a union), claiming the players need to help the players afford things after they retire, Mr. Bryant is proving that the players...or at least some of them are just plain stupid.

No, most of us can't relate to the amount of money that Bryant and other players make or pay for things. But we find it hard to believe that players can't afford to buy themselves health insurance. Oh, wait, they have to spend $500,000 on jewelry, that's much more important. For that same amount, Mr. Bryant can have health insurance for the rest of his life.

With the litany of issues Dez Bryant is having this off-season, its obvious he needs to find someone responsible to help him live his life. We get...no, we understand that he like many other athletes are overwhelmed with the idea of being poor their entire life and suddenly have more money than god being foisted upon them. We get that. And the teams should have some responsibility for either providing or strongly encouraging these kids to invest their money instead of blowing it all on stupid stuff.

We are guessing that some do listen to advice such as that. But we are also guessing, based largely on the evidence, that Dez Bryant...well, he's not listening.

Dez Bryant no longer welcome at Dallas area mall

Bwahahaha! Sorry, we couldn't contain our laughter after reading this story. It seems as though Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has been banned from a Dallas area mall after creating a "Disturbance".

According to a report by WFAA-TV, Bryant received a "Criminal Trespass warning at the NorthPark Center on Saturday night. He received the warning apparently after he and some friends went to the mall wearing pants that according to Mall Security--were half down their hips, exposing their underwear".

As the story goes, security asked the men to pull up their pants and were summarily treated to "Profanity Laced" tirade which necessitated Mr. Bryant being asked to leave--and not come back.

And--get this. It apparently was not Bryant's "1st issue" at the mall. According to the warning he was issued, Bryant is subject to arrest if he is found at the mall within the next 90 days.

Interesting. On first read, the response here is Bryant needs to act like a grown-up. If he's offending people at the Mall and is asked to pull up his pants, that, despite the potential cultural issues, is not an unreasonable request. Had he complied, we wouldn't be discussing this.

We realize, the "Low-slung" pants thing is somewhat cultural and not necessarily something we totally understand. But...that being said. You just can't do that in a public place. Period. If you want to dress like that around your neighborhood or in your house, go for it. But you are in a public place--a mall.

At second glance, the bigger issue is that it wasn't his first "Disturbance" at the Mall. And while he may feel picked on, we think that the opposite is true and the Mall has given him multiple chances and overlooked some things.

The bottom line here is Bryant just needs to "Shut Up" and let this go away. But we are guessing he won't. He just proves and verifies what people think about some NFL Football players, they don't act like grown-ups, because people don't make them act that way. Grow-up dude, despite what you think, you aren't 15 anymore.

Here's the TV Story from WFAA:

Welcome to the NFL Dez Bryant

It looks like now former Oklahoma State star receiver Dez Bryant may have played his last game for T. Boone Pickens...oops...I'm sorry Mike Gundy and the Cowboys. The NCAA in its infinite wisdom has officially suspended the Junior Wide Out until October...of 2010. The suspension according to most reports had to do with him lying, not once but twice to the NCAA about his meetings with Deion Sanders this past summer.

The University is obviously appealing the decision and may have an answer as soon as next week. The NCAA however isn't know for being overly lenient or really kind to pretty much anyone other than the TV Networks. Maybe this will be the exception, we don't know. It's unfortunate that a bad decision by a 22 year old who didn't know what he did wrong may result in him not getting to finish his season. The one thing it does do would be to push Bryant to the NFL where he probably will be a First Round pick next season.
