A month after he was sued, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has filed a countersuit against former adviser Royce West, claiming West and his business associates breached the professional and fiduciary duties owed to him.According to the lawsuit, West, a Texas state senator, capitalized on Bryants notoriety and hard-earned success to improperly line his own pocket and those of his business associates.The suit claims West and his law firm, West & Associates L.L.P., received more than $300,000 in compensation from Bryant while West simultaneously was breaching his fiduciary duties and other obligations to Bryant. Also, David Wells, who served as Wests hand-picked financial manager, is said to have absconded with over $200,000 owed to Bryant under endorsements and other agreements.West assisted Wells in forming Dez Enterprises Inc., in which both served as directors. The suit claims Wells used the business to attract marketing and endorsement deals using Bryants name, image and likeness and then West would instruct endorsement companies and others to make payments for any endorsement agreements to Wells, not Bryant, who had signed over power of attorney to Wells on Wests advice.Many of these payments stopped at Wells and/or West, but never reached Bryant, according to the suit.Bryant filed the claim after West sued the receiver for between $100,000 and $200,000 for damage to a house Bryant rented from him in DeSoto. Bryant returned the property in February 2016, however, West found the house littered with trash and feces, missing blinds and shutters, with cracked windows and blackened carpeting, requiring more than $60,000 in repairs.These allegations are lies and frivolous, West said. Mr. Bryant needs to take responsibility for the damage caused to my house and not attempt to avert the focus away from his actions by making incredulous accusations about me. I intend to defend my name by filing a defamation lawsuit against Mr. Bryant and his attorney.West and Wells had been among Bryants confidants since the Cowboys selected him in the first round of the 2010 draft. West had served as Bryants attorney. Wells had served as mentor and head of his security team until February 2015. Three months earlier, Bryant switched agents, moving to Roc Nation Sports.Bryants counterclaim asks the court to recover all losses as well as any fees paid. Austin Voth Jersey . Brazilian national coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has confirmed that the veteran goalkeeper is set to join Toronto on loan, saying it will help him be ready for the World Cup. Koda Glover Jersey .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. https://www.cheapnationals.com/ . Carey Price didnt, but he still came out on top against one of his rivals for the No. 1 job at the Sochi Games. The Anahim Lake, B.C., native was stellar in making 39 saves in his home province and Lars Eller got credit for a bizarre short-handed winner as the Canadiens defeated the Canucks 4-1. Jeremy Hellickson Jersey .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons. Gerardo Parra Jersey . Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey last Sunday. The fine is the fourth this season for Goldson. He was fined $30,000 for a hit on the New York Jets Jeff Cumberland in Week 1. CLEVELAND -- Hue Jackson struggled to push out the words.A season he never fathomed reached another low point on Sunday, and as Clevelands first-year coach wrestled to put it into perspective, Jackson paused to gather himself. He tapped the side of the podium with his right hand and pursed his lips as his eyes welled up.This hurts.Being 0-12 is probably the hardest thing ever, Jackson said after the Browns lost 27-13 to the New York Giants.Unfortunately, with four games left, it might get harder for him.Following the game, Jackson, saddled with a rookie-laden roster, met with Clevelands upper management in his office before his news conference. Jackson insisted the discussion had nothing to do with his job status or future, and hes as committed as ever to turning Cleveland into a winner.But until that day arrives, Jackson has no choice but to keep teaching, motivating and pushing his players, who are hoping to avoid joining the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only teams to go 0-16.I have never been through this, he said. But I am not going to fall off a cliff or anything like that. These guys, these players, this organization, and the (ownership) group mean too much to me for me to ever feel like that. Do I ever get disappointed and frustrated? Yes, I do not want you guys to feel like I do not. I do not want you guys to think I do not get mad or sad or disappointed. I go through all of those emotions.At the same, I know what I signed up for. I know through our injuries and the things we have been through this season where we are and where we are trying to go. You can either beat yourself up, and I do that enough, or you can just put your head down and keep fighting and push through this. That is what we are going to do as a football team and as an organization.As has been the case most of this season, the Browns just didnt have enough talent -- or luck -- to pull out a win.They were within 20-13 in the fourth quarter before Eli Manning threw his second touchdown pass to Odell Beckham Jr. New Yorks defense put an exclamation point on the Giants sixth sstraight win by sacking Josh McCown a few more times in the final minutes.ddddddddddddMcCown was dropped seven times as the Browns again struggled to protect their quarterback.Cleveland had two chances to score touchdowns in the first half, but had its drives stall and settled for field goals by Cody Parkey. Thats been a familiar and frustrating pattern for Jackson, an offensive mastermind who just doesnt have enough weapons.If theres a shred of good news its that the Browns have a bye next week, giving the coaching staff and players a break from the misery. Jackson said hell devote the time off to fixing his team.It has been a long 12 weeks, he said, and unfortunate for the men in that room over there, we have not been able to get them a win yet. We will go back to the drawing board, and we will come back tomorrow. I know these guys will come to work, they will be ready to go and we will work through tomorrow. Then they will get out of here and we will self-scout ourselves and see where we are and go from there.Jackson brushed aside a question about his job security, saying he has the full support of owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam. He added they have continued to hold positive discussions about the teams struggles.In these times of toughness and times of crisis, you have to have good strong conversation, he said. It is healthy and it is good. That is how you do not go through these things in the future. You work through those things and you talk through them so that you can come on the other side, and they have been great with me from top to bottom.Hopefully, they feel the same from me to them. I dont like losing. I never have and I never will, and I have had my butt kicked up over my shoulders enough this season that I really dont need my butt kicked anymore. I have to figure out how to quit getting my butt kicked. It is just that simple.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
