I'm not sure if the apology was forced or not. So his integrity may be in question in your eyes.
Again, what you would do is not the question. So you deeming it unnecessary is moot. It wasn't against any rule (as of now anyway)...so there is not an issue there. He thought it was important to go and test Dez in this way....just because some don't agree...doesn't mean he was wrong.
He is directly linked to his parents and his background no matter what. Its how our society is, and how the media will run with the story as we see now. You can't say that some that were so dead against Ireland's line of questioning aren't rethinking things now.
And if he was so insulted, why wouldn't he ask them not to draft him? He would have to work with someone he has no respect for instead? Doesn't seem too honorable on his part if true. but you wouldn't question Dez.
Well as an adult it is definately true and Im pretty sure the media would be all over it if he had done much as a kid.
So for three and a half years and prob more because at 16 or 17 he can be tried as an adult he has not beaten up a woman, had a dui or been caught with using or selling drugs.
Does not say he was choosing Irvin to mentor him, Irvin decided to get some camera time.
Also Im not a big fan of Deion but why is he such a bad mentor. HAs he ever been in trouble and he seemed a pretty good businessman.
ESPNThe NCAA said in a news release that Bryant's penalty actually constituted "relief" from even more severe penalties for breaking the agency's rules for ethical conduct and preferential treatment. Bryant could have been forced to miss as few as six games or be permanently ineligible.
The NCAA said mitigating factors presented in Oklahoma State's case resulted in a lighter penalty for Bryant. The decision was based on whether Bryant "actively and deliberately concealed, omitted or provided inaccurate or false information" to the NCAA and whether he had multiple chances to provide accurate information but did not do so.
Seems to me the winners here will be the Miami Dolphins and the Denver Broncos, both of whom passed on this kid. Another Cecil Collins anyone???? Extremely talented but too messed up to not screw up off the field.
Not to mention she was probably and most certainly a welfare case... hey Dez, how does it feel to know that growing up, my tax dollars put food in your and your mothers mouth.. I want a thank you!
I pretty sure alot of players in the NFL had families on welfare s how is that Dez's fault.
He pretended to be offended in order to slime the dolphins because he didn't get a contract for a top 15 pick.
I don't see why this isn't absolutely clear to everybody.
He couldn't have sincerely been offended if she was just arrested less than a year ago for selling crack cocaine.
You can't have it both ways.
It is a legitimate question especially since she is a repeat offender and a felon. I'm absolutely shocked that she could get no jail time, that to me is the REALLY offensive thing about all of this.
How is Dez Bryant anything like Cecil Collins?
Bryant has not been arrested for anything at any point.
Before he was drafted Collins was arrested twice and thrown off the team , failed drug tests. I would like all these examples of Bryant messing up. He lied about being at Deion Sanders house to the NCAA. No arrests , no failed drug tests.
Well the question wasnt your mom arrested for selling drugs wasnt the question? Is your mom a prostitute. In either case its an uneeded question
Well the question wasnt your mom arrested for selling drugs wasnt the question? Is your mom a prostitute. In either case its an uneeded question
But I have to tell you that the story going hard around the Combine -- and everybody heard it whether it was true or not -- was that his mother was a prostitute and his father was her pimp. That doesn't make it right, but that stuff was out there."
:sidelol: You can't be serious. I'm sure we all had drug dealers living next door.
