Giants’ Kayvon Thibodeaux on Cowboys, NFC East: ‘They can all burn’

New York Giants LB Kayvon Thibodeaux had an expletive-laden take on the Cowboys before addressing NFC East opponents: “They can all burn.”

Retired New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck and running back Brandon Jacobs hated the Dallas Cowboys during their playing days and that disdain remains in retirement.

There’s never been any love lost between the two franchises, but with the Giants a shell of their former selves, they’ve been forced to suffer in silence over the past decade.

No more, says linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux.

After a week-long feud with Dez Bryant that has played out on social media, Thibodeaux appeared on radio row at Super Bowl LIX alongside teammate Bobby Okereke and laid into the Cowboys.

“(Expletive) the Cowboys,” Thibodeaux told Zach Gelb. “Much love to Dez. He’s a media connoisseur and me, you know, I just like to roast people. When (the) offseason comes and I’ve got a little more free time, why not give the fans something to see?”

The back-and-forth between Thibodeaux and Bryant began during the NFC Championship Game and continued over the course of a week-plus. At one point, Bryant suggested the “rap” in person, which Okereke admits he’d like to see.

“Charity boxing match,” the veteran suggested. “Coming soon.”

Meanwhile, Thibodeaux acknowledged that the beef isn’t over and likely won’t be for some time.

“No, the beef is never over. As long as he represents the Cowboys the beef will never be over,” Thibodeaux said. “There’s no personal beef but all just Cowboys-Giants beef. There’s just no room for a Cowboy.”

Asked if Dallas is the team he hates most, Thibodeaux initially said “no” but then went on to address the NFC East as a whole.

“I hate the Eagles more,” he said. “Honestly, I hate them all equal. They can all burn. I hate them all equal.”

Maybe, just maybe, Thibodeaux can help give the Giants back an edge they’ve been missing over the past 10-plus years. The players should hate the Cowboys. And the Eagles. And the Commanders. That’s what NFC East football is all about.

Giants’ Kayvon Thibodeaux continues throwing jabs at Dez Bryant

New York Giants LB Kayvon Thibodeaux continues his public assault on former Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant.

This is the feud that doesn’t end! Yes, it goes on and on, my friend! Some people started fighting it not knowing what it was, and they’ll continue fighting it forever just because…

Now that you’ve had a small dose of nostalgia, it looks like New York Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux can’t step away from his ongoing spat with former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant.

After a three-hour back-and-forth during the NFC Championship Game last Sunday, Thibodeaux and Bryant continued their war of words in the late hours on January 30 and the early morning hours of January 31.

They exchanged barbs over Madden before things finally fell silent. But after just 12 hours, Thibodeaux once again decided to break that silence.

“Feel you cowboys cut you so you gotta wish that hurt on somebody,” Thibodeaux wrote on X, adding, “And please stop pocket watching…go sports bet @DezBryant.”

Also lacking self-control, Bryant quickly shot back. Again.

Bryant did reel things in for a moment when an X user wished a torn ACL on Thibodeaux, with the retired veteran pumping the brakes on that line of thinking.

“Naw bruh..we are not going to wish that on anybody,” he wrote.

But Bryant continued to defend his position and explain why he remains engaged with Thibodeaux.

“I hope he does (earn more than me),” Bryant wrote. “and I’m not trying to downplay anyone. He actually tried to downplay me..and I responded…As a matter of fact, he came looking for a problem and got one. If you know me, you know I don’t need to know or meet any athlete to be one of their biggest supporters.”

This feud doesn’t seem anywhere close to calming down or going silent for any real length of time. It will likely continue straight through the Super Bowl and possibly even beyond.

Giants’ Kayvon Thibodeaux, Dez Bryant rekindle social media beef

After days of silence, New York Giants LB Kayvon Thibodeaux and former Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant are going at it again.

During the NFC Championship Game last Sunday night, New York Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux and former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant engaged in an ugly war of words.

The back-and-forth, which started over Bryant mocking the Giants for letting Saquon Barkley walk in free agency, lasted three hours and grew increasingly heated.

Near the end of their public spat, Thibodeaux suggested he brought a “gun to a boxing match,” while Bryant suggested they “rap” in person.

Things quieted down for several days but the fire was rekindled on Thursday night.

Responding to word that former NFL senior vice president of officiating Dean Blandino’s brother believes the NFL is rigged, Bryant chimed in with his own conspiracy theories. He referenced “the no-catch” and, more specifically, being subbed off the field at odd times during the 2020 season when he was with the Baltimore Ravens.

Thibodeaux took that as an opportunity to pour some gasoline back on the fire.

“I was subbing you out in madden too,” Thibodeaux wrote on X.

Bryant was not amused.

“Bruh your Madden NFL rating 77 at 24yrs of age,” Bryant wrote. “You’re supposed to be in your prime. As much as I play Madden..I never considered playing with the Giants. This is how it’s going to go for you. You’re not getting a contract extension if you don’t ball out… They let Saquon walk..what do you think they’re going to do to you? I think you might be worrying about the wrong thing.”

Thibodeaux didn’t address the situation again, but Bryant persisted.

“I really wish him the best in his career, like all of the athletes, but he keeps talking,” he wrote.

There’s a long offseason ahead and it’s a safe bet that Thibodeaux and Bryant aren’t done jawing just yet.

Giants’ Kayvon Thibodeaux, Dez Bryant engage in ugly war of words

New York Giants LB Kayvon Thibodeaux and ex-Cowboys WR Dez Bryant got into an ugly and heated exchange on Sunday that played out on X.

New York Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux finally saw enough on Sunday night and decided to respond to some critics.

As the entire football world began piling into the Giants and general manager Joe Schoen over the decision to let running back Saquon Barkley leave via free agency, a comment by former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant proved to be the straw that broke the camel’s back.

“We got the same amount of SB,” Thibodeaux posted, pointing out that he and Bryant are ringless.

For the next three hours, the two repeatedly traded blows.

“That’s a fact but I had a great career and I’m in the record (book),” Bryant wrote. “Sooooooo… . I’m good with that! you guys let go of the best player in the NFL this year and the gm (son) told him straight in his face to draft Jayden Daniels. You shouldn’t be addressing me you should be addressing your dumb (expletive) GM.”

Bryant obviously watched “Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York Giants” and saw the clip in which Schoen’s son suggested trading the farm for Jayden Daniels. The clip has gone viral again in recent days.

“I’m shooting on any old head mentioning the giants from here on out,” Thibodeaux wrote, following it up with a meme suggesting he was looking for the hate.

“The only player over there who’s legit is Malik Nabers… Other than that, sorry to break it to you buddy, you guys are awful,” Bryan responded. “Cut all of that political (expletive) out! …You better hope they don’t trade your (expletive) the way you’re hyping …Pipe down buddy… I bet not see you looking for a trade or cut.”

Thibodeaux proceeded to fire off multiple posts that were later deleted, which he acknowledged.

“Why haven’t you retired @DezBryant?” Thibs wrote. “He Waiting on the next pandemic to get a work out… . Anybody talking about the past not doing (expletive) now.”

“Man what happened in Green Bay @DezBryant?” he continued, referencing Bryant’s critical drop in the 2015 NFC Championship Game. “If Joe call you for a work out I bet you show up @DezBryant.”

Like Thibodeaux, Bryant would not relent.

“What is this fool talking about? I’ve stopped playing football,” Bryant wrote. “I’ve stopped playing football… I don’t care about playing football… . I’ll let you make it. I support athletes and root for you guys, but when organizations do stupid things, I’ll keep calling out the things that don’t support you. My tweet clearly went over your head… Stop being sensitive.. I really don’t wanna keep going back forth.”

The exchange continued to escalate with Thibodeaux suggesting he brought a “gun to a boxing match,” while Bryant suggested they “rap” in person.

“Everybody think they can say something about a team I represent… . not on my watch,” Thibodeaux wrote. “till I’m not longer a giant ima stand in bidness.”

“Talking like he legit! He sorry as (expletive),” Bryant wrote. “a waste of a draft pick!”

Thibodeaux closed by asking, “Who’s next?”

Bryant, meanwhile, threw one final haymaker.

“I took a nap and decided to get back on X and saw he was still running his mouth after I tried making peace,” Bryant wrote. “(Expletive) it.. it’s up now… . off the top rope!”

Giants players are tired of outsiders dunking on the team but social media shouting matches won’t be enough to stop that. The only way to turn the corner is to win, which the Giants won’t have an opportunity to do until September.

Texas A&M has offered the son of former Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver

Texas A&M has offered 2028 wide receiver Dez Bryant Jr., who is the son of Dallas Cowboys legend Dez Bryant

Sometimes, you feel old as a sports writer when the football players you watched as child are now fathers to future college football prospects, including former Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver Dez Bryant, who finished his NFL career with over 7,500 receiving yards and a Cowboy record 73 receiving touchdowns.

The Lufkin, Texas native starred at Oklahoma State before being drafted by the Cowboys in 2010. He has two sons, including rising 2028 wide receiver Dez Bryant Jr., who, although through limited tape, is already looking like his namesake.

Bryant Jr. is currently a freshman at Colleyville (TX) High School. The 5-10 160-pound prospect was excited to receive what looks like his first significant collegiate offer from Texas A&M on Friday night, stating in a tweet,

“I am truly grateful to receive an offer from Texas A&M. This is a blessing from the man above.”

A proud father, Dez Bryant expressed his excitement in a tweet, knowing that this is just the start of what’s to come for the talented prospect:

“Keep going dude. It’s only the beginning! I’m proud of you.. it’s time to kick it into another gear…”

Dez Bryant shows love for Oregon Ducks 5-star WR Dakorien Moore

Oregon Ducks 5-star WR Dakorien Moore turned heads on Saturday, and elicited a strong reaction from Dallas Cowboys legend Dez Bryant.

Former Dallas Cowboys legend Dez Bryant took to social media on Saturday afternoon to let Oregon Duck fans that they got an incredibly talented player with the signing of 5-star wide receiver Dakorien Moore in the 2025 class.

As if Oregon fans didn’t already know.

It was a play from Moore in the Texas High School Football semifinals that caught Bryant’s attention, though, with the No. 1 WR in the 2025 class doing what he has done so many times this year — taking the ball to the house after catching it in space and making a number of defenders miss in highlight fashion.

“@Oregonfootball I’m at the game and I just saw DKM do some crazy shit for 6.. y’all got 1 for sure!” Bryant said on social media.

For those wondering what exactly it was that Moore did on the field to elicit that type of response from a three-time NFL Pro Bowler, you can see it here.

 

Moore was the No. 1 WR in the 2205 class for a reason, and it’s plays like this that he made all season that makes it clear he is among the best players to ever sign with the Ducks.

As a true freshman, there is an expectation that Moore will immediate step in and contend for a starting spot in the offense, much like Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith, or Alabama’s Ryan Williams in 2024.

Former Cowboys WR Dez Bryant has bold take about Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa

Former #Cowboys WR Dez Bryant tweeted a bold take about #Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa during Miami’s loss to the #Bills on Thursday night.

The Miami Dolphins lost their Week 2 matchup against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night, but their defeat at the hands of a division rival wasn’t necessarily the worst part of the game for fans in South Flordia.

Instead, much of the talk about the matchup’s outcome was centered around Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who was concussed after running head-first into Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin.

Tagovailoa has developed a history of sustaining concussions since entering the NFL in 2020, and while he is one of the most exciting quarterbacks in the league, some former players are growing concerned about his long-term health.

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant took to Twitter on Thursday night and made his thoughts on the matter clear:

Though it seems unlikely that he will take Bryant’s advice and retire, Tagovailoa will be under the microscope of fans and the media moving forward as debates about the ethics of his ongoing participation continue through the rest of the season.

LOOK: Motion graphic tracking Emmitt Smith, Dez Bryant, Michael Irvin ascend Cowboys all-time TD chart over time

An interesting look at the Cowboys’ all-time TD leaderboard.

There’s no NFL organization quite as great as the Dallas Cowboys… just ask Jerry Jones. Seriously though, over the years the Cowboys have had a remarkable run of top-shelf skill position players who have earned they way into the history books. The Cowboys have a whopping 30 players or coaches currently enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH and many of them are there for their ability to get the ball in the end zone.

Related, the club’s 64-year history has seen a steady stream of players move in and out of the franchise’s all-time touchdown leaderboard over the years. There are quite a few outlets where one can look through those names, but why limit the fun? Content creator Greg Harvey (@BetweenTheNums on Twitter/X) has produced a motion graphic showing the fluidity of the team’s leaderboard over the years.

From Frank Clarke to Bob Hayes to Tony Dorsett to Emmitt Smith, with Michael Irvin and Dez Bryant getting their time near the top… it’s a laundry list of who’s who among pass catchers and running backs in the organization. Check it out below.

Dez Bryant takes notice of Patriots WR Javon Baker’s highlight play

This is content nobody expected

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Javon Baker hasn’t even been in training camp for two weeks, and former All-Pro wideout Dez Bryant is already analyzing his game.

Bryant responded to a video of Baker’s one-on-one rep at training camp practice when he drew oohs and ahhs from the crowd after juking past a defender. The video was shared by SCOUTD but originally posted by Patriots on CLNS Media.

“The wideout first step was a slight out hard inside to get the defender to move off his spot… he reset the stem to control the defender to win on the slant,” Bryant posted on X.

New England is hoping to see more of these kinds of plays from Baker on the field during the regular season. They have struggled in recent years drafting and developing receivers.

ESPN’s Mike Clay even ranked the unit dead last out of 32 teams in his 2024 projections.

Baker has the potential to develop into a legitimate No. 1 option, which is something the Patriots have needed for years.

Along with K.J. Osborn, Ja’Lynn Polk and DeMario Douglas, Baker is part of the new wave of talent looking to silence the doubters and change the narrative surrounding Patriots’ receivers.

Former NFL star Dez Bryant with high praise for Titans WR Treylon Burks

Dez Bryant likes what he sees from Titans WR Treylon Burks.

In two NFL seasons, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks has just 49 receptions for 665 yards and one touchdown — in 21 career games.

To say the No. 18 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft is entering a make-or-break would be an understatement. This offseason, the Titans, tired of waiting for Burks to become a quality starting wide receiver, paid big money to Calvin Ridley in free agency and followed that up by also signing Tyler Boyd.

Two other things going against Burks: General manager Ran Carthon arrived one year after the Titans drafted Burks. Secondly, the Titans hired a new head coach this offseason (Brian Callahan) who has no investment in Burks.

Burks is in a similar position as cornerback Caleb Farley, minus the injuries.

A week into training camp, Burks’s performance has opened some eyes. One rep shared on social media caught the attention of former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant.

The former Dallas star was impressed.

The Titans are in a good position with Burks. They’ve added enough talent around him to not be dependent on him in 2024. Currently, Burks is Tennessee’s No. 4 wideout behind Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins, and Boyd. However, Burks’ combination of size and athleticism could help take the Titans’ offense to another level.
