(Photo: Tim Heitman, USA TODAY Sports) It wasn't quite a Richard Sherman level escalation, but Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant didn't appreciate ESPN "First Take" host and morning show troll Skip Bayless calling him selfish after his proclamation Tuesday that he felt like he was capable of achieving 2,000 receiving yards in one season. MORNING WIN: Indiana will define season in Thursday's game Bryant, who addressed a domestic violence rally on Saturday, seems to be making strides in moving past some of the maturity problems that sullied his early NFL career, was quick to clarify he wasn't calling his shot, just speaking confidently about his own ability. I didn't make any prediction about having 2k yards but it is very possible-; Dez Bryant (@DezBryant) March 26, 2013 That clarification didn't stop Bayless from doing what he does. Just when I thought it was safe to trust the "maturing" Dez, he makes a "me" statement about 2K yds instead of a "we" about making playoffs.-; Skip Bayless (@RealSkipBayless) March 27, 2013 Bryant's retort? Correction...i was asked a question.. i didn't predict anything...basically all i said was it was possible @realskipbayless:-; Dez Bryant (@DezBryant) March 27, 2013 My bad skip I forgot you and your buddy get paid to twist up stories whenever you already know the truth @realskipbayless-; Dez Bryant (@DezBryant) March 27, 2013 Bayless, a longtime critic of Bryant's, failed to respond on Twitter, although he'll have plenty of time to do so on Thursday's show. As will Stephen A. Smith, whose likely objection to being referred to as Bayless' buddy will hopefully lead to their own version of the following South Park argument.
