Former NFL wide receiver Dez Bryant opens up on never getting a fair chance in the league, his relationship with Jerry Jones, Romo, breaking generational curses, Cowboys organization, CeeDee, Dak and Lamar Jackson MVP
Chaos in Dallas seems to be something familiar and after a shocking wildcard loss this past wknd, Ryan, Fred and Channing are sitting down with former star wide receiver Dez Bryant opens up and telling all about what really went on inside the Dallas Cowboys organization.
Dez will go down as one of the top Dallas Cowboys receivers to wear the star, but the stories and attention that followed #88 for a decade is what the former WR is sharing about dealing with pressure, expressing the disadvantages to succeeding in big D and lack of family support growing up motivating him to make a change in his own adult life. In an emotional conversation, Dez reveals never-heard-before stories and the inner workings of his life and career.
Opening up about the dysfunctional relationship between him and former head coach Jason Garrett, the lack of locker room bond between teammates, the feeling of being set up to fail and his complicated bond with the Jones family, Dez talks about how playing for Dallas was a blessing and a curse in one.
Bryant says that he was never given a fair opportunity to learn or mature when he reached the NFL, and the media’s portrayals of him stemmed from preconceived ideas of who he was. Grateful for an unlikely mentor, Dez expressed gratitude for Entertainment mogul Jay Z for lifting him up and supporting him through the chaos.
In order to “X out the negativity,” Bryant became a three-time Pro Bowler and led the NFL in touchdown receptions in 2014. While he may be remembered most for his infamous no-catch against the Green Bay Packers in 2015, he shines a light on the troubles of that season and the pivot he made to survive.
Talking about his childhood through his recent attempts to help the future of the game. Whether it was family, teammates, coaches, reporters or friends, Dez is candid about the relationships he cultivated over the years, remaining open and honest when it comes to misunderstood narratives.
Being raised in a different scenario of having a mother who was barely a teenager at his birth created a bumpy road for Dez early on, and with a complex bond to his father, Dez was often independent and trying to make it on his own. Football went from a simple game to his ticket to a new life, and with a mom or dad rarely in attendance, Dez had to self teach hard lessons while trying to find his way.
With a life full of adversity, Dez remains himself to this day, and being away from the game as a player has allowed for him to focus on helping others and supporting his family in ways he couldn’t be supported as a kid.
New episodes drop on Tuesdays at 12 p.m. ET and Fridays at 3:30 p.m ET on KZhead, with audio available on all streaming platforms including Apple, Spotify and Amazon.

Hats off to Fred. He hugged him to encourage him but he also understands the mother dynamic of being a child to a young mother. I love how this podcast brings out the human in these athletes.
Man my mom had me at 13 bro. So I can relate
Damn 🥺🥺🥺.. We go through so much as black men and is conditioned to keep it bottle up …
man fred is the heart of the PIVOT!!! great group of dudes man
@@mikeybee456 😢 bruh this why black men die so young from hearth attack strokes etc because this very reason. We are seen as dangerous to worlds eye that also plays role in shit. Soon as we express our trauma they say” see he’s a crazy black man” 🤦🏽♂️
@@jdagreat4595 She was in them streets tough
The paragraph that Dez read about putting positive thoughts and energy into your kids was special. I teared up hearing that. Much love to the Pivot and Dez. This was an outstanding episode and I hope Dez keeps getting opportunities like this to share is story, and shine.
same...wiping the tears from my face now.
As a child who had a similar experience and has kids now, that hit so hard. Love you Dez.
Yeah as a father, that's what I want to do for my child.
Yea that hit hard. Respect to u Dez 💯
minute 51:40 for those who wanna get right to it
When he said "I never had none of that" that pierced my heart. You never know what someone is going through. One time for Dez
I don’t usually post on KZhead videos but this…. This show is vital to our community. You created a open space for strong black men to be vulnerable and expose stories that honestly keeps us weighted down. Big props to Pivot🙏🏿
How about just men?
@@TheSport78why does acknowledging race trigger you?
When he read off how to get rid of generational curses…man that just rocked me. I truly felt that. 😢
RC, Chan and Fred… What makes this Podcast Special is that you’ve created a space where it’s okay for a Black Man to Cry!! I’m in tears now typing this and I’m completely okay with saying that I’m in tears. Thank you Strong Black Men!!!! Much more success to you ALL!!!!
Love this! When Fred hugged him I fell apart
As a Cowboys fan I completely understand what Dez is saying how the media portrayed him and how the organization and league never helped push his story and always shown him in a negative light. The only people around here that knew the real Dez were the ones who actually went out of there way to learn about him. Much respect to the pivot for once again shining a light on the man behind the player.
Yeah there are a few stations and radio guys I stopped listening to while Dez was playing
He’s trying play victim too much. He was wild at that young age it’s okay he was immature
Seems like they were just trying to shut him up, rather than help him grow. I don’t think you’re wrong, but can you imagine the career he would’ve had with some insightful guidance! Dude is still arguably one of the most talented receivers I’ve ever seen
Man I didn’t expect Fred to get up in that moment and hug Dez. Brought tears to my eyes
Yes sir
I felt that when Dez said he dedicated the game ball he had with the ravens to his daughter. I can tell it was special bc all he ever wanted was his family to see him play but they always had excuses. So hearing his kids say they want to see him play meant the world and God was able to bless him for that moment. Keep aspiring to inspire Dez and salute to y’all for always bringing out the real in these athletes 🫡
u don't know half the shit he did in dallas, off the field..
@@jeffyeah4256and ?
@@jeffyeah4256 what did he do off the field? I never heard of anything negative
I won't go into detail because I don't want the risk of being sued by him. I know a few ppl in the cowboys organization...But the Cowboys use retired players to MENTOR/ monitor the high value players every day and night. SO your monitors calling them at night to make sure they stay out of trouble....They even need to call them in the morning to wake them up to go to practice...Like little kids, for some of them. IN dallas, a lot of them engage in drinking, high speed driving, daily visits to the strip club.. In terms of notable cowboy players--one of them has been known to beat their own mom(fucked up shit right), called 911 and the recording..wink wink..They kept so much shit under the rug to allow him to play...That's why the cowboys can't win, they don't hold players accountable@@kelvintrell3347
Big props to Dez for sharing his story. A lot of people don’t know/realize how spiteful woman can tear down a household. I had numerous friends who’s step parents didn’t care about them simply because they weren’t their kids. Shits disgusting.
No lie!
Agree middle finger to his step mom for being neglectful and bitter. HOWEVER the dad should have intervened.
The flip side is that their are step parents that do everything for the step kids that the do for their own. They raise them as if they were and the step kids are disrespectful, unappreciated and feel entitled. I have seen both scenarios and both are traumatizing.
She went beyond neglectful. She was cruel and abusive.
Dez’s stepmom is a bad person who happens to be a woman. Not all women are bad, not all men are bad. Just as Dez expressed himself and allowed us in his personal experience to some degree, he stated he was different. He managed not to continue the cycle of dysfunction and give his children a chance. Not everyone can do that, so they repeat, rehash, and regurgitate what they know…ergo his stepmom. I’m not giving her a pass, I just know many people treat others how they’ve been treated, regardless if they are a man or woman. Thankful Dez was able to rise above it!
The seed Dez Bryant planted with what he read about the impact of the parent on their children is going to grow into the life breathing forest that OUR community needs. We as parents have to stop feeding negativity into our children. Our kids parish both physically and mentally by the words we speak. DEZ journey brought him to this moment to educate all of us on how we have to change. Thank you Mr. BRYANT
Amazing interview. Amazing to see how he’s grown
Dez lying
I’m dealing with Rectal Colon Cancer and while in treatment I watch your show and for 90 mins I don’t have any problems. What you guys are doing is exactly what we as sports fans needed. Big Steelers fan for a long time so I know you Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor you and I are the same age I followed you at Florida when I’m a huge Hurricane fan from Nebraska. My first NFL jersey was your Jaguar jersey and was great to see you play when I could. Channing I don’t know much about you but love your style. Just wanted to say thanks for contact your covering. Just one wish is for you to talk about colon cancer and the symptoms and that use men need to take our pride out of the away and get check either for the symptoms or just cuz you turn 45. Not looking for any anything just trying to get the word out so others don’t have to go through this. If your reading this thanks for taking the time.
Wishing you well in your treatment 🙏🏽
BIG UP, KEEP FIGHTING!
Amen! I'm in prayer for my bonus son for the same reason!! Same age, surgery soon. I'll call U out @ the Throne too!
Much respect to Dez!!! This show is so important man! I can’t say I didn’t tear up at least 3x
For real. Something about vulnerability and truth. It really shake up your world for the better even though pain come with it.
I swear I’m crying watching it now I felt all this
Man glad i aint the only one . Dez gots me crying and driving . Not even watching it just listening and he goes deep .
@@buildtexaustin2412same here bro he’s talking that real
Maaaannn
Man I swear I didn't intend to watch this full episode but I couldn't take my eyes off of it. Hats off to Dez for opening up like this. Wish you guys the best!
I kept saying I need to stop and “move on to something productive” then he spoke about his quote of breaking generational curses and realized what I was meant to hear.
Me too! I was supposed to be working but I couldn’t stop watching.
Props to The Pivot for showing that athletes are humans who have some of the same issues as regular folks. All the things I knew about Dez to this point were negative. He had so much emotion in what he was reading about parents and kids. Love Fred Taylor for who he is and what he just did for Dez. It seems like a small gesture but Dez will remember it.
As a man about to have his first child I really needed to hear this episode especially when he read that paragraph about his children I’m tearing up as I write this right now.
Hats off to the PIVOT!! This session was off the chain. This might had been therapy for all of us. May God continue to bless you all on this journey.
Growing up a Cowboys fan I always defended Dez through it all. My favorite Cowboy of all time. This was amazing to watch, one of the realest!
Dez was my husband’s favorite player. He passed in 2005 but that #88 has been a favorite number in our family for all these years. He was a Cowboys fan and I’m a Redskin fan. Fun times ! This was a great interview getting to see the real Dez and not the one the media portrayed for so many years. We don’t choose our family but we have to deal with the hand we are dealt. Now my grandson is a CD Lamb fan keeping the #88 alive ❤
RIP to your husband and peace be to you. Do you mean Michael Irvin because Dez was in high school in 2005.
Wait he passed away in 05 Dez was in high school back then
Did you mean 2015?
Stay STRONG Ms. Wendy. I lost my wife also. I hope your days are brighter now, much love sis!
Sorry for your loss. HTTR. 😊🙌🏾🙏🏾
I miss Dez on Sundays. He could change the game at the drop of a hat and is the epitome of the American dream.
I’m not a football fanatic but I absolutely love this podcast because it’s not only football it allows individuals that are held to unrealistic standards many times, to simply show and say I’m human I make mistakes, I live, I learn and I deserve grace. Excellent episode as usual and Thank you Dez for being transparent and vulnerable sending love & light y’all’s way ✨✨💫💫💓💓💓
We need a part 2! Dez has a lot to say and get off his chest and us fans appreciate it. Wonder how Dez feels about Romo!
Dez always talked highly of romo. People who actually follow the team know this
@@dominick5886that’s cause Romo was nice
Dez got in a fight on social media with dak prescotts brother because Dez said Prescott needs to learn from Romo.
Would love to hear that!
I love when a Black man not afraid to speak out against the system. ✊🏿💪🏿🗣
As a father, this episode really touched me especially when Dez, broke down after saying what he had to say about how impactful we are to our kids and what we say to them at night matters. It affects them going into the next day. I honestly love this show and you guys never miss. Great episode my guys and continue the amazing work you provide for us all around the world to watch and learn from.
Man this episode broke me down! Having the childhood I and my brothers had I've literally made it my purpose to break generational curses within my family's bloodline. But hearing Dez read those words are literally things I've grown up with and what I've vowed to not repeat to my son and to hear another grown man utter those exact words that were in my mind just killed me.
The transparency got me balling at my desk! Praying for you Dez! That’s it…change the generational curses!! Speak LIFE!! Your seed and your seed’s seed shall be blessed!!
There are a lot of US out here that carry the same pain Dez. 🙏 Stay strong! Keep Pushing! Keep Grinding!
I started being overcome with tears at 51:30, so much so, I had to stop. Everything this man experienced, and wanted from his folks and never really got, hit me just the same as a kid growing up in Jamaica, and emigrating to Canada. Am not religious, but I pray to the UNIVERSE to have this brother and his children live in an environment that is salubrious. Wishing him all the best. Now, I can go back to finish watching the rest of this Beautiful PiVot.
Let Jesus in
If the Pivot intervidwed me, I'm pretty sure I would end up crying over the course of the conversation too. They are the most thought-provoking, emotionally intelligent interviewers in this field.
One of my favorite players of all time with Dallas. I miss this dude in the locker room! Because my Cowboys these days is SOFT!
I'm a DC4Lifer but yes we are way too soft and warm.
Just like in the game cd lamb got pushed from the back and didn’t do shit back ugh
Get used to it bud 🤣
One of the top 5 episodes. Couldn’t resist the tear gland opening.
man I was saying that watching the last game. why ain't nobody on the sideline try to rally troops and get them together. Dez wouldn't had stood and took that ass whooping like they did
This was a deep one. Much respect to Dez for who he is as a man and for what he’s endured throughout his life. Great player but even a greater man👍🙏🏾
Dez Bryant has brought up something important. That no matter what level of fame or status you get, we as fans don’t understand the amount of pressure they go through as individuals. The money and the cameras don’t fix any of those mental health past. Shout out to Fred for showing love. I appreciate this podcast. For making this place a safe place for athletes. Dez, as a fan of the NFL I appreciate your years. But the most I have to say you are great father bro. You are making a difference! Much love brotha.
This was one of those ones! Shout out to Dez for navigating the pain and trauma.
“Ima be honest witcha”…….when Fred got up to give Dez a hug 🥹🥹🥹🫂
Dez had me crying when he did the I Am Athlete podcast now he got me crying in gym listening to this podcast. I love The Pivot and I really enjoyed this episode
Stop crying
It’s always deeper than just a troubled athlete… salute to Dez for sharing his story and once again a spot on job by the pivot crew to orchestrate it and let Dez open up
I cried when he said, "thank you Fred". That choked me up.
Dez has had a hell of a life. Mad respect to him.
There are very few times I have cried during a video.... This is one of those moments that literally broke me. I cried like a baby for Dez, his pain and knowing that this man could be of use to some team in the NFL because of what he has experienced and a mentor to A LOT of these young guys. I pray for his peace.
I know😢
❤❤❤
Same!! This was so deep 😢
Two things about this podcast with Dez...First, Dez was a BEAST on the field and absolutely a 88 Club Dawg like everyone else who has worn the number and two, please do a Part 2 with Dez!!!!!
My heart goes out to him.. I'm sitting here at work in tears! Big up to him for changing the narrative for his kids. God Bless you Dez!
Powerful...heartbreaking interview. Dez overcame so many obstacles. Teaches us a valuable lesson never judge a book by its cover.
This episode touched my soul on another level bro. I broke down watching it. Grown men cry and that’s okay. Trauma should be met with therapy when the time is right and this felt like therapy to me.
Whether you guys at the Pivot realize this or not this podcast is therapy and Heaven sent. Not just for us that tune in but also the individuals that come on here. Dez is a real one and Biggup to the Brother for coming on here and opening up to not just you guys but to the world most importantly. This is why you guys have surpassed a lot of other podcasts. Not in numbers, more importantly, in content and the people that you guys bring on here. 🙌🏿🙏🏿👊🏿🇭🇹
I haven’t even came close to facing the trials and tribulations Dez has growing up but we’ve all been kids. When he read that note saying “don’t yell at your kids at night and expect them to sleep well. Don’t yell at them in the morning and expect them to have a good day…” hits home. Kids are very impressionable, and us as adults, the things that we may brush off or not care about may be the same things that stays in a kids’ mind for life and could affect their outlook growing up…
By far the realest episode ever! I respected and loved the shit out of Dez already, but him opening up that way and being vulnerable - that’s another level! Huge props to everyone involved in this! That episode was absolutely wholesome!
This proves That TO wasn’t bullshitting when it came to Jerry Witten, Romo and The Clapper.
TO was a diva. Had problems everywhere he went
@@KingoftheJungle214WTF is a Diva?
Not seeing where Dez is saying anything negative against Romo.
@@KarlPostMalone Terrell Owens. Antonio brown. Dez
You can tell Dez's disdain is with Jason Garrett and not Romo. Now, he does say he prefers Dak over Romo. But he also says, if he had McCarthy as his coach, he would have broke a lot of records.
I’m just happy former athletes are taking up these spaces and really telling their truth. You can tell how comfortable and vulnerable they can be with each other without being afraid of judgement. Thank you for helping us young parents find ways to navigate this challenging space with our kids who have dreams because they watch or play video games with these athletes. Great episode 🙏🏾
I was listening to the pod and when Dez read that quote from his phone when Fred asked him how he broke that course, I had to stop walking for a min and watch that part of episode. That was a powerful moment. Thanks for sharing that Dez🙏🏽👊🏽💪🏽
Dez is needed and this interview was powerful!
Love Dez! And he confirmed what all us Dallas fans already knew about "the clapper". Fantastic interview, I want more!!
I've watched this twice in 24 hours. The interview was so good! All black athletes could learn from Dez and empathize with the things he's gone through. Yall had me in TEARS ❤ Dez we see you and most of all your kids do! Proud of you black man!
Man....thank yawl for showing us this is bigger than football. Dez...thank you for being true to who you KNOW you are! Salute to you and keep on loving your kids the way you do!
I love the way Ryan talks about situations and ask the question after. That's legendary and honorable. Straight up
I should know better than to watch this podcast. These guys have a way of getting the absolute best out of each guest, and it all hits like a runaway train. Damn, Dez! Chokin me up! Keep striving.
We need part 2!! I wanted them to really dive into that dynamic between him and Romo. As a cowboy fan It kinda baffled me when he said he wish it was more chemistry between him and Romo because growing up back then they were the most unstoppable duo I ever seen. And that 2014 year was the closest we have ever been to getting another superbowl. I’m surprised he even vouched for Dak because his career immediately went downhill once Dak got behind center. All them 5 yard dink and dunk passes weren’t doing anything for a receiver of his caliber and wholeheartedly believe they should’ve let romo take the reins back that 2016 year once we made the playoffs..
I felt that Dez im so sorry u had to go thru that but how i seen u with ur kids at training camp u inspire me to be a better father and i understand u i lost my mother wen i was 18 i know the feeling but man i your dad is proud of the man you are today all love and respect!!!!
This my favorite show. I have watched every last episode and have shed a tear or 2 but this here made me cry for real. Thanks Freddy T for giving that man that hug he's been needing. Keep your head up Dez
Watched Dez play in HS great talent great to see him in this space rooting for him to WIN in life 🙏🏿👊🏿
There were so many gems in this interview. I salute this man for making it despite all the adversity he has faced in life. The note he read broke my heart and has motivated me to strive even more to be a good father to my children.
@52:35 is why The Pivot stands alone in the podcasting space. Powerful moment. Powerful episode. You men are delivering the necessary as always and I appreciate it. Love to the Pivot!!
💯I had no idea of Dez’s back story. Learned a lot respect. Made me cry and laugh. Pivot keeping it real.
This right here was powerful and was definitely needed…I needed to hear this brother speak, because my story is very much similar to his and I never know how to express my thoughts & or feelings about my story…Thank You, Dez, RC, Fred, and Chan!!! 💯❤️🥺😢
I love the player and I love that this is a safe place for Dez.
My favorite player growing up 🫡. The cowboys needed a guy like Dez in the Locker Room!
Real dawg !!!
I have walked in those shoes over 25 arrest and people never talk about graduating at 47 from Morgan State University creating a partnership with The Baltimore City Police Department as a volunteer never charging a dime giving back. Dez would be a great example of change and what it means to overcome and help others.
Another great episode. Yall bring the best out of your guest. We need Dez back to finish those other stories.
Dez and I have very similar stories. This was therapeutic for me. Thank you Dez for pouring out your heart bruh. NOW THIS IS WHAT NEEDS TO GO VIRAL!!!!!!!!
He went through all that.. and STILL went out and became one of the greatest players of all time!! AMAZING STORY!!
If you dont understand THE PIVOT..this interview will definitely make it clear!! Its therapeutic every time, for them, the person they interview and the entire world 🌎..... RC, Fred, and Chan are banging this 2024 already!!! Pray this interview helps every viewer in any way possible...THANK YOU ..to THE PIVOTfor keeping it 💯👏🏿👏🏽👏🏻🏆🏆🏆👏🏿👏🏻👏🏽
Love you Dez!!! You were an amazing football player, but more importantly, a class act of a man. You’re loved, valued, respected and appreciated. 💐💐💐💐
You're gorgeous.
Frfr🎉
Man DEZ got me crying over here!! lol so proud of the man he’s become and I’m just a stranger. We all have obstacles in life, some greater than others, but for DEZ to be open and vulnerable, helps those dealing with it now because he’s a voice for those going through it. We are never alone. Thank you Pivot for this platform, otherwise we would’ve never heard this from DEZ. Much Love to all ❤
As a Eagles fan I have a lot of respect for Dez he was a baller and I'm glad to see his Maturity and growth as a Man hope he keeps doin his thang respect King
Can't say enough how much I loved this episode. Dez has overcame so much and hearing him open up about all he's been through was touching. The quote he read about speaking life into your kids is so so important. Fellas what an amazing episode 👏🏾
Ryan Clark is a MASTERFUL interviewer! He’s like Bryant or Gregg Gumble! All of them play off of eachother very well too! The fill in questions are very good!
Thank you. Tanhk you. Thank you. Over a year later and The Pivot is still changing/saving lives. Dez is an amazing man.
This was another awesome interview. So glad that you guys gave Dez an opportunity to speak. He never had that chance and it was good to hear him. Love u Dez and I’m still rocking your 88 jersey. Thank you again Fred Chan RC and Alicia for continuing to bring great content and giving those people a voice on this platform. I will continuously be a supporter and fan of the pivot
“My family dysfunctional as fuck” I felt that. We all have some jacked up families if we’re being honest, some worse than others. Proud of you, Dez. Dope ass pod. 🫡
Mine dysfunctional as hell too
You guys did a good job in interviewing Daz because we can clearly see that he is still very hurt & bitter. A man who still needs some help. I really pray for him. He needed this talk.
This interview was absolutely amazing!!! To see these men actively listening to one another and communicating so effectively without judgement but with pure love was so touching! I’m loving to see brothas being comfortable expressing emotions and feelings that are really tough and really sitting in a real vulnerable space. That is tough but can really help with healing. Thank you Pivot for allowing Dez a safe space. Fred that hug immediately brought me to tears! We all need that hug and it takes a special person to stop whatever and no matter what anyone else thinks, comes to embrace you. I love that! Dez….I pray that whatever you didn’t receive as a child, your children will fill that void and overwhelm you with love. Your fans love you and I pray you continue to be blessed. Dang it Pivot Let’s GOOOOOO!!! Y’all doing great things!
Thank you for your courage to share your story and struggles, Dez. The verse you read off your phone about things we say to our kids before they go to sleep and go to school touched me. Great reminder for all of us who have kids.
Hearing that got me crying my kids are grown I need that quote to tell family with kids .This needs to be use in every household with kids especially the young parents
Another gem of an episode!!! Thank you!!! Now you gotta bring Dez back after what happened on Sunday to Dallas!!!
When Fred got up to hug him 😭. needed to hear that man
This was the most transparent well received well respected episode and there have been some great ones. Thank you for allowing him the opportunity to speak his truth. It was heartfelt and I hope he knows how much this episode was inspiring in so many ways. His journey will save many. May God keep him and cover him always❤️ Fred's hug was epic 🤎🤎
I continue to tell people some of the best athletes get lost to the streets because of the environment they grew up. The father wife threw Dez to the streets his last year of high school. Thanks a million to the girl friend auntie to step up and give Dez a chance to live out his dream.
The crazy part is that someone probably did that to the step mom, so she probably doesn't think she did anything wrong. Being around people that were actually loved is like seeing that a different world exists.
@@lize2957 That is a good point, back in those days, when you turn 18 you have to get out the house, and if you doing some grown stuff you have to get out before 18. Dez broke the cycle with God given talent and made a vow his children will have a chance at life.
I’ve been watching football since the mid 70’s. Receiver has always been my favorite position, followed closely by DB (all). From Paul Warfield, Roy Green, Charlie Joiner, Roger Carr, Kenny Burrough double 00! through the modern era. Dez Bryant has been one of my all time favorites to watch play. I was excited when he came to the Ravens and the support he gave to Lamar. I love the way he played. That passion. Glad to see the young man maturing. Wishing but nothing for the best for the man! I always wished for players like him to get in to coaching at some level.
Damn this show gets better and better. The way former players come on this show and openly talk about their struggles and experiences is amazing
Man !! this episode got me choked up. Salute to the pivot ! Best podcast out right now. It shows how genuine these guys are. They care about their guest on the show. That means something. Pray God continue to bless y’all man. And everyone that sees this comment. Seriously 🙏🏾. This is bigger than sports. This ain’t just a sports podcast. 🙌🏾
Dez was the heart of the Cowboys and the NFL robbed us against Green Bay. Much respect 88. Keep pushing man!!
No joke, y’all might have to set up a Part Two! Dez said it himself!
I respect this man so much i named my son after him hes is the greatest 88 to me the swagger, thank you for blessing my son Dez Brycen instead of Dez Bryant, a football at training camp in 2014 u throw it with your left hand i caught that badboy, man that was something special i will forever remember thanks Dez!!!
What Dez Read Is Some Real Details That Will & Can Break Generational Curses, We All Should Pull From That ❤️ 💯
😢😢 He has so much knowledge to share. I hope the NFL brings him in to help the players.
All love 88! One of the most loved Cowboys ever! Texas Boyz stand up!
Gotta keep preaching& teaching, can’t give up on the young brothets
Common Pivot W. Dez's energy and love for people is admirable. The post-football life is difficult.. need more people like him to help players get through that process. P.S. ...Dez caught it
Respect to Dez, I feel you man. Always my favorite Cowboy receiver and he did catch it against Green Bay.
Man that was deep. I feel he has so much to offer the league in some form. Great show guys ❤
Always loved Dez and saw through the negative pictures they tried to portray of him. You can tell he’s a good, genuine person and just a stand-up guy! I had to play this one back instantly. Great show!
Dez, went through so much in his life and it’s a blessing to see where he is now. What strength and resilience he’s shown in his life. He’s right in that he can make a difference in the lives of others in the NFL. Great interview guys as always.
