Deion Sanders Got Dez Bryant Suspended

Dez puts a new spin on the SI Curse

The number one wide receiver in college football this year has been suspendedfor violating an NCAA rule.  Oklahoma State suspended Dez Bryant when they learned that he’d lied about his relationship with Deion Sanders.  Why did he lie about his relationship with Deion?  Apparently because he thought it was against the rules.  Why did he get caught lying about it?  Because once he found out it wasn’t, he admitted it. 

Seeing as how Facebook has replaced all major news organizations, both sports-related and not, as the place to get the scoop on things, we bring you Dez Bryant’s FB status message:  [all sic'd]

Dez Bryant:  This is why I’m suspended…..I went to Deion sanders house ….and the NCAA found out…..they ask me if I been to his house I told them no…I thought it was a violation…but it wasn’t… so I told them I went to his house… I lied to them and I shouldn’t have….and I’m not suspended for the rest of the season….I’m sorry osu!!

Now granted, nobody is going to accuse Dez of being a super genius, even….. before… reading …….. this post…. But this suspension is way dumber than he is.  Yes, he broke a rule.  And granted, he only broke that one because he thought he’d knowingly broken another one.  But if he gets more than a slap on the wrist for this, all college football fans should get pissed.

This is a no-harm violation.  I understand why the university took the preliminary step to temporarily suspend Bryant, because the NCAA comes down hard on universities that ignore violations (Ohio State and USC notably excepted).  But I’d like to think that the NCAA quickly decides that what he lied about wasn’t a violation at all, and tells OSU and Bryant that all is forgiven, before he sits out a substantial part of the season.  For the record, I’d also like to think that dragons are real, and that wishes on lucky stars really do come true.

Update:  ESPN destroyed any remaining credibility they might have had this morning by featuring BootleggerSports on their Blog Buzz.  Here’s a screen shot, courtesy of BS reader, Bryan.

Sh*t Sh*t Sh*t, oh well, this is a great day for Robbie, Dylan, and every other pedophile that has been greatly underappreciated. (sorry Dylan, today you have been lumped in with that group)
