Yesterday Dez Bryant did his first interview at Training Camp with the media since signing his new deal. Most often you hear people say “money changes people.” Well you can count Dez Bryant out of being a different person/player since now that he has a new contract. In the 24 minutes interview that I advise you to listen to if you haven’t already he talked about how the money won’t change him. A lot of different topics Dez discussed in his interview about how his youngest son looks up to him and watches everything he does. He also talked about how he hears and sees all the negative things people still continue to write about him that are false, and how he’s doing the right things in his life. Dez was asked what he focused on during Training
The bombing campaigns in Vietnam, Rolling Thunder, Linebacker I, and Linebacker II, still remain controversial today. The common academic threat revolves around that if Rolling Thunder saw a more destructive use of air power, as used during Linebacker I and II, it would have been successful. Mark Clodfelter wholly disagrees with this idea. Throughout his book, Clodfelter believes that Linebacker I and II saw success because they had a different political objective. In the preface, he writes that many Air Force personnel “ignore the essence of why bombing “worked” in 1972 – because it was the proper instrument to apply, given Nixon’s specific goals and the political and military situation that then existed”(p xii). This is further clarified by stating what Richard Nixon’s aim for the bombing campaigns was versus what Lyndon Johnson wanted.

July 15th 2015, the Dezline! I have heard the sentiment “deals make deadlines” on social media regarding the buzzer beater, walk off home run, game winning field goal in overtime whatever your forte is, on the down to the wire Dez Bryant deal.
He said “i saw in every white man an enemy, and in almost every colored man cause for distrust,” He explains how he felt towards not trusting no man. Both of them two quotes also says a lot about his
“So after a while, I had me my own friend, and he didn’t care that I wore second-handed clothes or was Jewish. He never judged me. That’s the first thing I liked about him, in fact that’s what I Liked about black folks all my life. They never judged me.”
For Dez, he knew he was the best, or at least deserved to be paid as one of the best. Therefore, his tactic was simple: he was not going to play a single down until he was paid. A ploy that many athletes have used over the years to get what they want. Most of the time it works, but every time the player gives in before that deciding time comes to actually sit out of any games. The game they’ve worked their entire lives for. A game they’ve poured endless puddles of sweat into. A game they’ve bled for. A game that we are continuing to find out some eventually have died for.
