Five times worse than Rice has to be an exaggeration... And that's so subjective anyway.

From that thing he tweeted the other day I bet it's a hanger-on that he cut off and is now trying to get revenge, or just a payout.

Thats what its looking like more and more I think.

Rhyner said on the Ticket yesterday rumor is it's supposedly that he roughed up a girlfriend pretty badly. But they had no idea if there really was a video. Doesn't really sound like some of the things floating around about WalMart.

Maybe it is all just a big catfish job. Or, there have been enough rumors about Dez for years now, maybe someone started this up knowing it would sound plausible enough to get Dez to try to pay up to make it go away.

could be, but just trying to think of why there wouldn't be enough physical damage to warrant an arrest. Pretty sure a busted face would be prosecuted regardless of the victims wishes, wouldn't it? Thought that's how DV cases usually go just to avoid fear from causing the victim to not file charges in the first place.
Usually they only need the word of the Vic, not really any actual evidence, to make a domestic battery arrest. But that's in a live-in situation that is either marriage or shack job. Dunno how they would handle it if it's mom, at mom's house where the Perp doesn't live.

In this day and age with the technology available... if there was something, it wold have been out by now. If the person is looking for a payout, he wouldn't approach Dez or his agent with it otherwise it would be extortion, and wuld get nothing. They instead could go to an outfit like TMZ, who would gladly pay $1 million minimum if it is video and very incriminating.

The most disturbing video of Dez that I'll ever see is of the catch that was ruled a non-catch in Green Bay.

That if he didn't have to stop for, is a stand-up TD. That if he had just protected the ball and gone to the ground, it is first and goal from the six inch line where the official on the field originally spotted it.

Not blaming anyone, just saying. The ball was short, he had to stop. Otherwise the defender is beaten and isn't a factor.

Somebody's got to explain to them the end zone is 10 yards deep. When your receiver has a step on the beaten defender, don't make him stop for the ball.

Right, only Dez didn't have a step, and didn't stop either.

The only time he stopped running was to jump. Other than that, you're spot on.

Allegedly it took place inside a Walmart and the only thing holding is it up is the person who took the video is waiting on the highest bidder. Schefter also said that it's likely to never see the light of day. So idk.

Also screenshots of it have been sent to various media outlets and Schefter himself has been working on the story since September. Kind of weird that he made no mention of Dez being in some kind of trouble during the season.

Some of the DFW media have been hinting about something along these lines for months now, only they were very vague about it because most of them are old school and won't go public with something that hasn't been at least somewhat properly vetted. Just like Schefter.

Look at the videos of the play closely, you will see he had to stop his full sprint, because the ball was short. The defender had no chance at all, if Dez is led instead of having to check up - and there would hence be no need for the jump. That Dez had the guy BEAT, is why Tony is going there with the ball in the first place.

It's just one of those things that happens in a football play.

i don't need the all-22, xwalker. The DB was on even terms, the ball showed up and Dez jumped for it.

If the rumored video was really "5x worse than anything Ray Rice did" and "this will end Dez's NFL career", wouldn't that mean it almost had to be something highly criminal on the video?

And if it were something highly criminal, wouldn't law enforcement be involved? Why is there talk about "being sold to the highest bidder" etc etc
