Drew Pearson throws some shade at Dez Bryant during restaurant opening
Dallas Cowboys legend Drew Pearson opened a new restaurant at DFW Airport and he’s already burning things.
The Cowboys’ “Original 88” took a lighthearted shot at receiver Dez Bryant during the grand opening of Drew Pearson’s Sports 88 on Monday by Gate 5 in Terminal E.
Instead of a ribbon-cutting, Pearson caught a pass. Before making the catch, Pearson said “We know one thing, the original 88 won’t drop it.”
Did Drew Pearson just take a shot at @DezBryant at his restaurant opening?? “We know one thing: the original 88 won’t drop it.” Did a football toss instead of a ribbon cutting. pic.twitter.com/Ib8R1YZJuU

WBPA/820 AM reporter Scott Sidway posted video of the moment on Twitter.
On Tuesday, Pearson denied he was taking a shot at Bryant.
Not a shot at Dez! I use that line all the time! Too much respect for Dez and #Cowboys #88Club

“Not a shot at Dez! I use that line all the time! Too much respect for Dez and #Cowboys,” Pearson tweeted in response to Sidway’s video post.
