Jason Garrett Comments on Dez Bryant's Altercation with Media Members

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant's locker-room blowup stemming from a disagreement with the media drew an abundance of negative attention Thursday, but head coach Jason Garrett attempted to put the situation behind the team Friday.

According to Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the superstar wideout began yelling at media members in the locker room, with most of his anger directed toward ESPN.com's Jean-Jacques Taylor. Bryant accused Taylor of using a racial slur toward teammate Devin Street, although the claim hasn't been confirmed.

Robert Klemko of the MMQB tweeted a recap of the situation in question:

Per Pro Football Talk, Garrett said Friday that Bryant was in the wrong for acting the way he did:

While the Cowboys seem to appear in controversial headlines more than most teams, Garrett suggested such incidents are actually few and far between among his players:

According to Hill, Garrett told the media that he spoke with Bryant about the incident. Garrett also said Bryant should have walked away rather than engaging, per Charean Williams of the Star-Telegram.

Bryant posted tweets explaining the reasoning behind his actions:

This isn't the first time the two-time Pro Bowler has gotten heated this season. He also strongly denied taunting injured Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette a couple of weeks ago in response to reporters' questions.

He also got involved in a sideline shouting match with teammate Greg Hardy during a loss to the New York Giants.

The 2015 season is quickly spiraling out of control for the 2-6 Cowboys, and that has led to plenty of frustration among the players. With important matchups against the Buccaneers, Dolphins and Panthers in the coming weeks, the Cowboys will need to channel some of that frustration onto the field if they want to turn things around.
