VIDEO: Dez Bryant goes on locker room tirade toward reporters

Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant went on a profanity-filled rant at a reporter in the locker room Thursday, and was further agitated when another reporter tweeted about the exchange.

Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that Bryant accused Jean-Jacques Taylor of ESPN of using a racial slur while talking to Cowboys receiver Devin Street. Taylor, who is black, denied the allegation.

Street backed up Bryant's claim, but media members in the locker room said they didn't hear it.

Bryant was upset about something the reporter had written, and had been asking for days where he was.

Sports Illustrated's Robert Klemko tweeted about the incident, which further enraged Bryant.

Bryant's second tirade interrupted Jason Witten's weekly session with the media, and the 13th-year tight end worked to calm the situation and help get Bryant out of the locker room, as did coach Jason Garrett.

The Cowboys have lost six straight games, and part of Bryant's outburst was about the media ''disrespecting this team.''

Bryant later took to Twitter to make his case.

"Yea I blew up on the media but report why I blew up on y’all … Saying I don’t give a f--- about me and calling players n----- is not professional …," Bryant wrote.

However, Bryant wasn't done there. A few hours later, he posted another message.

"Now I guess I'm the bad person??? The media comes in our locker room with no restrictions... I guess they can say whatever and it's cool...let me remind all of you... WE ARE HUMANS AS WELL..WITH FAMILIES..we have to live with a lot of false talk about us..... I'm so sorry if a lot of you can't handle being talked to direct."

Bryant and the Cowboys will have a chance to end their losing streak this Sunday when they travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers.
