Martellus Bennett

In an amazing story of determination, Martellus Bennett discovered multiple living species of dinosaurs on his recent vacation. Reported in his blog for the Dallas Morning News, Bennett takes on a step-by-step journey through his recent adventure.

It all began like this:

So I was just chilling at the crib and i was thinking mann i need to get away,
so i logged onto travelocity.com which is a awesome website by the way although i think its cheaper to go straight thru the airline website or orbitz.com. However back to my story, whenever I get in these modes i just pick a random place I don’t care what airline or destination. So I’m searching and searching and I stumbled upon a airline I never heard of called TakeUThere Airlines. All flights were only 80 dollars and 80 cents random but cheap so I wasn’t tripping.


I feel like we all owe Martellus for pointing out the best places to book travel plans. Thank you, big guy. The next step in a vacation is packing, obviously. And you can’t forget the important items:

I began to pack my bag the items i included were my monkeys feet, the responses yall leave on my blog so that i can have a good laugh during the flight, a freebirds burrito, a kangaroo pouch to keep everything in, twitter because i love it, a lighter, butter knife, a spork (saved a lot of room i didn’t have to pack a spoon and fork), a Harry Potter invisible cloak, a calling card, bag of twizzlers, a lavender pillow case, a #2 pencil and a bunch of clothes gotta be fresh. Oh and some charmin tissue and crest toothpaste.

Since he packed it, I feel now is a good time to tell you to follow him on Twitter — @MartyBTV.

Good call on the lavendar pillow case, Marty! No matter where we are, it’s important that we still hold on to our feminine side. And choosing the spork is just good common sense!

I googled the airline address and headed that way. When I arrived at the runway there was a guy with jordan jumpsuit and captains hat on. He was the pilot it appeared that I was the only passenger which means more leg space, the worse thing on the plane is to be stuck between two fat people in a regular row. So i boarded the plane set back as we took off I started reading the comments on my past blog and fell asleep laughing…

Peaceful, right? If this were a movie, this is about the time the dramatic background music would begin making us a little uneasy. Like an “I see dead people” kind of uneasy.

The true adventure begins:

I woke up landing on water which was pretty cool. We were in front of a beautiful island full with greenary. We took a raft to the shore, i immediately saw huge foot prints on the beach kinda freaked me out. And thats when I saw it the T-Rex running wild, I screamed like a person getting called down on the price is right, I began to run like i was running a vertical route for he game winner in the super bowl. I hid in the shrubs and pulled out my Harry Potter invisible cloak, i was safe.

Whew, quick pause to catch your breath. What will happen next?

I got up and tiptoed outta the shrubs and into the woods and thats when i saw them. The Dinosaurs!! I discovered em all by myself, since i was invisible i decided to walk closer. I used my #2 pencil to carve my initials into the back of a Saurornithoides it slapped me with his tail so i slapped it back Ike Turner style and it took off running. Made me giggle lol even dinosaurs are scared of me and here i am thinking its only DEs LBs and Safetys I have that affect on.

I’ve always dreamed of seeing a Saurornithoides in person. But who hasn’t, really?

Feeling Powerful I decided to chase a Rebbachisaurus it was fun because it couldn’t see me until a Kentrosaurus stepped on the end of my cloak and pulled it off me. Then i thought to myself I’m the only black person on the island this couldn’t be good. I started running like MB (Marion Barber) in the fourth quarter stiff arming a Brachiosaurus and running over a Therizinosaurus then sprinted to the plane yelling at the pilot to start it.

We’re all on the edge of our seats wondering if he gets away! Although, I think we know he does since he wrote this story. But why ruin the suspense with logic anyway? WILL HE MAKE IT?

I made it in time… I saw i conquered i discovered the dinosaurs… They are still
alive on this planet… Next up is the Lochness Monster and Lepruchans.

What a story! Not only is Marty B part of the best TE duo in the NFL (and the self-proclaimed Beans to Jason Witten’s Rice), but he has also made one of the biggest discoveries in history!

And for those wondering, he throws this in there: “…check spelling and grammar of
the whole thing…”

Go Cowboys!
