Dez Bryant takes fist to face, sounds off on Twitter

The Rams-Cowboys rumble in Oxnard on Tuesday included Dallas receiver Dez Bryant taking a fist to the face, proving yet again that no NFL player ever should enter a fight without a helmet.

Bryant, who apparently has seen the social-media reaction to taking knuckles to the nose, sounded off on Twitter.

“I wish I would have cheap shot his ass then all of y’all would have seen the difference,” Bryant said. (The tweet already has been deleted.)

Bryant got into a fight with a teammate earlier in training camp, and it’s the second year in a row that Cowboys players have scrapped with players from another team during joint practices, with the action once again getting way too close to the fans for the NFL’s comfort.
