Recently, we put up a post on 14 athletes that completely wasted their talent. After another run-in with the law, Dez Bryant is well on his way to being the 15th person on that list. On Saturday, Bryant was arrested and charged with misdemeanor domestic violence following an incident with an unknown woman that had been "romantically involved" with the wide receiver.

While most of the details are still unknown, the Dallas Cowboys must at their wit's end when it comes to Dez and his off-the-field problems. After all, this is second run-in with the law for the third-year wide receiver out of Oklahoma State in six months. Six months! In January, the Cowboys receiver was detained and questioned following a fight at a South Beach nightclub involving Lil Wayne.

Last month, Bryant said that he was focusing solely on football this off-season, but after this weekend's encounter with the law, it looks like Dez will always waging a war between his endless potential on-the-field and the trouble that seems to find him outside of football.
