ESPNs Mark Schlereth rips unprofessional

Dez Bryant is at the center of controversy again, but this time it has nothing to do with whether he actually caught a pa s.The Cowboys Melvin Ingram Jersey star wide receiver was fined for skipping team meetingsand mi sing a scheduled MRI on his injured right knee earlier this week, and now Bryant is expected to mi s Dallas' gameagainst the 49ers on Sunday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Bryant avoided the initial MRI because he feared what the results would say.WEEK 4 PICKS: Against the spread| Straight upBryant tweeted Thursday that he "made a poor decision" and "understood the consequences." Cowboys coach Jason Garrett told reportersthat "(Bryant is)a very, very pa sionate person. He loves football. He loves this team. He's a driven guy and his response to this was not the right one."ESPN NFL analyst Mark Schlereth isn't buying any of it.Schlereth went off on Bryant during"SportsCenter" Thursday,criticizing both his handling of the injuryand theCowboys' teamculture."At what point are you going to quit making excuses for bad behavior?" Schlereth said."At what point, as an organization, are you going to quit enabling people to behave this way? That's not I mean, it's not you'repa sionate, and that's what we heard Jason Garrett say. 'Oh, it's pa sion. He's so pa sionate.' No. That's selfishne s."You have 52 other guys on that roster who count on you. You're one of the leaders of that football team. You got a bunch of young guys that are trying to learn how to be profe sionals. And as I always say, just because you play a pro sport, it doesn't make you a profe sional. That's as Jatavis Brown Jersey unprofe sional as you can po sibly be in Year 7 in your career."MORE: Jerry Jones' best and worst moments with the CowboysSchlereth,who played 12 years in the NFL for the Redskins and Broncos,then targeted the Cowboys' coaching staff andfront office specifically owner and general manager Jerry Jones for continuing to allow these kinds of incidents to happen."You don't have his phone number? You can't go to his house and drag his lazy butt out of bed?" Schlereth continued."I mean, at some point as an organization, I look at my organization and say Junior Seau Jersey , 'You know what? The people who run this organization, they don't practice what they preach.' They talk about integrity. They talk about character. They talk about all these things they say that matter. But bottom line is, when somebody questions their authority, they cower in the corner like a child. That's what this organization does.""If something happens in my life, you know what, and it's an emergency whoI call, I call 911. If something happens in the life of the Dallas Cowboys, and you're a star, you just circumvent the coach and the players and you just call 952, Jerry Jones' extension. 'Hey coach, Jerry, what do you mean you're gonna fine me? It's OK. We won't do it. Go back to your busine s.' And gue s what:Nobody within the organization has any authority. They've all been emasculated. Nobody can say anything because the owner/general manager allows it to happen. And that's why the Cowboys stink every year. That's why the talent doesn't match the record. Those are the things they matter. Those things matter within the life span of an organization. And you know what? It's dysfunctional is what it is."Not exactly what Jones wants to hear, but Andre Williams Jersey Schlereth does have a point. Under Jones sincethe start of the 2010 season, the Cowboys own a record of48-51. Add that to Jones' history of enabling players with questionable character, and it's hard to argue Schlereth is off the mark with his analysis.
