Dez Bryant received an all-expense paid trip to London for his birthday. Unfortunately, that included a nine-hour flight.
"Oh man, it's not my kind of party," Bryant told the Dallas Morning News. "I tried sleeping, and I can't do that. I can't do it very well, so I watched a couple of movies and I worked my way through it."
But this, of course, is strictly a work trip for the Cowboys as they take on the Jaguars on Sunday at Wembley Stadium.
Bryant turned 26 on Tuesday and got straight to work after getting off the plane. The wide receiver and his teammates, including Tony Romo, attended a Play 60 event where one local kid threw up Bryant's signature "X" in celebration in front of him.
"That made me feel real good," Bryant said. "I'm like yeah, we're going [international], baby. That's what I'm talking about."
This is Bryant's first trip to London, and he said he would hopefully be celebrating his big day at a local restaurant with a few teammates after practice.
Hmm, wonder what it takes to get on that guest list . . .
