Earlier this week, Dez Bryant and teammate got into it during Dallas Cowboys training camp – a fight which many suggested looked staged. That’s not the opinion of Tony Romo, who was apparently none too pleased with Dez Bryant’s actions.
Bryant, who swung like a drunk pirate, was eventually separated and cooler heads prevailed. Of course, there was also the risk of injury had Dez Bryant’s punch connected, which lead Tony Romo to suggest he would punch his star wide receiver if he ever decided to put himself in harms way again.

Pretty sure Tony Romo isn’t serious here as he’s not the fighting type, though, it was more of an attempt at leadership and trying to show Dez Bryant he needs to mature.
In fairness to Bryant, he was getting ripped apart initially by his Dallas Cowboys teammate and deserved to strike back – though it certainly wasn’t the smartest course of action.
