A Grown Man Should Act Like One

I’m glad that troubled Dallas Cowboys star receiver Dez Bryant realizes the error of his ways. I’m glad that he wants to make some changes. And I’m glad that people are in place to help him.
But I don’t like the notion of special rules that essentially relieve Bryant of all responsibility.
According to multiple published reports, the Cowboys have a set of guidelines in place to hold Bryant accountable. But if he has a rotating three-man security team with him at all times that drives him to and from practices, games and all team functions, that doesn’t leave much room for personal accountability.
The guidelines might include a midnight curfew, twice-a-week counseling sessions, a ban on alcohol and a ban on attending strip clubs. An adviser, David Wells, said that Bryant asked for guidance, and the exact plan hasn’t been finalized. But it could resemble the procedures put in place for Adam “Pacman” Jones, another former client.
