OK.You’re a second-year wide receiver. The numbers from your rookie season (20 catches; 4 TDs) aren’t bad, but they’re hardly enough to give you job security — especially on a team that already has serious image problems.
So you decide to make a profane YouTube video with language hurtful to blacks and gays?
Well, you do if you’re Martellus Bennett of the Dallas Cowboys.
The video made with rapper Dessie Brown also referenced teammates Jason Witten and Tony Romo — and some fella named Jerry Jones.
(Notes to Martellus: Romo is the guy who throws you the football; Jones is the guy who signs your checks.)
Bennett, fined $22,000 by the Cowboys (the amount of a game check), immediately blamed the media for blowing the video out of proportion.
Which tells me young Martellus actually may be wiser than his years; blaming the media is a veteran move …
