Dez Bryant responds to Skip Bayless calling him out over missed MRI
Like many other talking heads across the country, Skip Bayless used a portion of his show on Thursday morning to debate why Dez Bryant failed to show up for his MRI at the Dallas Cowboys facility earlier in the week. But apparently if Skip wanted the real answer, all he had to do was ask.
After Bayless sent a couple of teaser tweets telling viewers to tune into “Undisputed” to watch him and Shannon Sharpe discuss the drama surrounding Bryant, Dez called Skip out.
COWBOY NATION: We debate why Dez failed to show up Monday/Tuesday and delayed getting his MRI. Undisputed. 9:30 am ET. FoxSports1.

Prior to seeing the tweet, Bayless speculated that Bryant’s latest injury “crushed his psyche” and he went home and “went in the mental tank.” He also said he believes the star receiver went AWOL and needed Jerry Jones to go to his house to get him to show up to work.
When informed of Bryant’s reply, Skip welcomed him on the show. The Big Lead captured a video from before and after Bayless was made aware of the tweet:
When you hear the reason Cowboys coach Jason Garrett gave for Bryant boycotting his MRI, you get the idea that Skip was on the right track. Regardless of his rationale, Bryant acted immaturely.
