Jerry Jones might want to pretend like he didn't hear Dez Bryant's latest story.

The Dallas Cowboys star, who's had his share of wild behavior, had a little confession to make after meeting 2017 Indy 500 winner Takuma Sato.

Bryant said he once got pulled over doing 180 mph in his Bentley — keep in mind, the average speed at Sunday's Indy 500 was 155.395 mph — and what happened next was "pretty cool."

He didn't even get a ticket.

"He said 'I couldn't catch you. I had to turn my lights off, you know, to get up with you'," Bryant told reporters Wednesday at the Cowboys' practice facility. "He didn't give me a ticket, he thought it was pretty cool, too. So it was good. He was a good sport."

Fortunately for Cowboys fans, Dez assured the media members that such youthful indiscretions were all in his rearview mirror.
