You want a quick media lesson? Sirius XM wanted a story to go viral so they intentionally left off "Jason Witten" part of Stephen Jones' quote, because with just Dez it is more inflammatory, now that they got Dez fired up, they dropping the FULL Quote to make Dez look crazy pic.twitter.com/NnXMqY8xcD

Honestly, this is a stronger quote from Sean Lee that I thought we were going to get.
Dez was baited into going on a twitter rant (see how above), so the Cowboys had to address it. Stephen Jones took the high road, but Sean Lee was more direct.

This is classic media trick of taking a very mundane quote and because of how they manipulate the headline got everyone talking.
Dez fell for the bait and everything flowed from there.
Flip the page for his previous rant.
