Week In Review: Dez Bryant says ‘I wish Deion would come to me as a man’

More freaking drama over being kicked out of the mall you’re never going to see. Ever since Dez Bryant was asked to leave NorthPark Center Mall in Dallas earlier this week for wearing saggy pants (among other minor infractions), Deion Sanders has been on the radio telling everyone how Bryant needs to grow up. On Thursday, Sanders spoke on KTCK-AM 1310 The Ticket and Friday on KESN-FM 103.3. From the Dallas Morning News:

On Thursday, Sanders was asked if what Bryant is dealing with is an immaturity issue.

His response: “Very much so. The same thing people are criticizing this kid for is the same thing I was trying to help him with.”

The next day, he said Bryant needs help.

“He needs help,” Sanders repeated. “I told the Cowboys from day one that he needs help.”

While speaking with ESPNDallas on Friday, Bryant was reportedly stung by Sanders’ comments, saying: “I wish Deion would come to me as a man and talk to me. I’ve been reaching out to Deion. I’ve never done anything wrong to Deion or disrespected him. I’ve never lied to Deion.”

While playing for Oklahoma State in 2009, Bryant was suspended for lying about having lunch with Sanders. Probably at Panda Express.

But thankfully, there were more stories this week. Here are some of them.

• It’s the Week in Sports Satire.

• Why we hate Duke.

• Yay cloud!

• The ‘Pole Dancing For Jesus’ class is full? Dammit!

• It’s the Season 2 premiere of Timmy and Bus!

• The youth soccer team whose home field is a raft in the ocean.

• Marathon Man Kelly Gneiting hauls 430 pound body across finish line.

• Flock of Seagulls lives!(Raises lighter)

And now, we end our work week with a silent prayer for your office pool brackets. They lived a full life … unless you count the actual games. Also, you were beaten by a five-year-old. Sad, really. Now where’s your ten bucks?
