The Giants couldn’t do anything right this weekend, but Jay Z’s Roc State was celebrating one of the greatest catches of the NFL season. Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant stopped by the rapper’s 40/40 Club on Saturday night to celebrate signing with Jay’s sports rep outfit. “He came with his brother and some guy friends,” said one witness. “They were all decked out in Roc State gear, really excited and celebrating the fact that Dez was a part of Roc State now.”

Hova himself wasn’t in town to welcome the newest member of his sports family because he was in New Orleans attending sister-in-law Solange’s wedding (God forbid he gets on her terrible side again). But both events were celebrated with cake. “When they bought out the cake, Dez was pleased to see it was in the shape of the Dallas Cowboys star,” says our insider at the Flatiron hotspot.

Bryant’s Cowboys had the weekend off to prepare for next Sunday’s game against the Giants. Technically speaking, the Giants played last Sunday, but lost terribly. Their anemic offense could use an explosive receiver like Bryant, who will become a free agent next year. But Giants fans shouldn’t start fitting Bryant for a big blue uniform just yet. The team’s top ball catcher, Victor Cruz, is also repped by Roc State and he’s expected to rejoin the team after returning from a nasty knee injury last month.

DIRECTION FINDER NEEDED

We can only wonder where One Management is headed after Zayn Malik’s no-show for a “Today” show appearance Monday launching their new album, “Four.” Bandmates told Matt Lauer that Malik was home with a “tummy bug,” but the NBC host nearly broke the Internet when he questioned about alleged months-ancient allegations of drug use among band members. The band members blew off Lauer, who was likely referring to a photo of Malik and Louis Tomlinson smoking what looked like a joint. Naturally, the Twittersphere exploded with typo-ridden attacks on Lauer.
