Football Player Dez Bryant Nearly Loses $50,000 Earring

Apparently Dez Bryant didn't pay attention when Miami Dolphins defensive end Kendall Langford lost a 2.5-carat diamond earring at practice earlier this year. Bryant, who plays for the Dallas Cowboys, wore his diamond earrings during a game between the Cowboys and the New York Giants recently. After a pass he hit the ground with the football and both the ball and the earring got away from him. The diamond stud is said to be worth $50,000 (in the image above, from a different game, you can see just how large the earring is). Bryant completed three catches, 104 yards and one touchdown during the game. Aafter the Cowboys won game, the earring was later found. A security guard recovered the diamond stud and returned it to Bryant in the locker room after the game.

I don't recommend that anyone wear earrings during a contact sports game or practice. Neither one of these NFL had to lose their earrings at all if they contact me. There is a product that I offer, by special order only, for all valuable earrings. This earring back and post combination are specific to one and other and are designed for those valuable earrings you just do not want to lose. Even screw backs undo on their own and many a diamond earring has been lost. This product, which I cannot mention here so the comment will be approved as informative and not commercial in nature, secures them so they will only come off when the wearer takes them off. Period! I also don't recommend wearing earrings to bed but for different reasons. By the way, I am speaking about sleeping not the contact sport.

No man should have earrings like those in the first place.

So insecure about himself he was to wear the bling on the field? Sad.

He will be broke in 5 years, crying to the bankruptcy judge how he does not know what happened. How ignorant, what if it came out and ended up blinding another player in one eye? what is old saying, a fool and his money soon part.
