After two lawsuits totaling near $850,000 were filed against 22-year-old Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant on consecutive days, his former mentor, Deion Sanders, told WCNN sports radio in Atlanta on Tuesday he’s worried about him. From ESPN:
Deion Sanders Is Concerned About Dez Bryant
Sanders had said that Bryant had lied to him when he decided to stop working with the 22-year-old. That came on the heels of Bryant having a run-in with police at a Texas shopping mall. Bryant also found his name in court over unpaid jewelry bills.
“It’s hard to talk to a person when they have millions, man, because there is so much noise in their life,” Sanders said on the radio station. “Everybody around them is employed and they have ‘yes men.’ You gotta start hiring a ‘no man.’ ”
For those who remember, Bryant was forced to skip most of his last season in Oklahoma State because of his relationship with Sanders, but that didn’t stop him from impressing in his rookie season last year.
It also didn’t stop him from promising to pay for extravagant jewelry and then allegedly neglecting to do so. Some of the items include “a white gold diamond dog tag set” and a “custom diamond engagement ring.” No word on Wikipedia on whether some lucky girl has had some unpaid-for custom diamonds put on her finger.
