Maybe Ireland was right for asking Dez if his Mom was a prostitute?

[DolfanDuBbZ~]

Lol. See? you were obviously offended by the question I asked. Well, imagine how Bryant felt when Ireland asked him that question. Lesson learned everyone?

No I'm not offended. I want context for the question. If you say your dad was a pimp, then a question is there to be had.

Assumptions do nothing for your credibility. Maybe wait for a response, before making such a stupid statement....based on no fact.

Lesson learned phinking?

He's a talented WR with baggage that the only reason he's in line
is that the Cowboys had to employ someone to "Keep him out of trouble"

I think the question was accurate, and in line.

"test his character" by asking if his mom was a prostitute, Seriously???

What about the character of the person asking the question when he already knew the answer! Please tell me how the parents character automatically equals the sons character? Some of us must be high on Ireland after a win but this was never a classy/good move and there is no justification of it regardless of how Dez Bryant ends up. Just look at how it has negatively affected Ireland's reputation and relationship with players and tell me it was a good call with a straight face..

I am not an Ireland basher but lets call a spade a spade, dude is not a nice warm hearted guy that players and people around the League love..

Mainly because of this comment....

the question was fine stfu...Bryant has major character con ERNs and when your investing millions in something or someone u have a right to know what your getting into therefore he can ask whatever the **** he wants to.

Even if it means walking out on your team? Imagine if every guy who hated losing walked out on his team with time left on the clock. Every game would be over at halftime.

The Greats, don't walk out on their teams. Shoot, Incognito would never walk out on this team. But an emotional midget does.

Was your Mom a Prostitute?

the definitive response to your Q would be:

"Not to the best of my knowledge, but if she was, we can safely assume she had a higher class of clients than did yours" :idk:

It's context: I wouldn't ask you that unless:
a)I knew your mother was jailed for 18 mos for sellilng crack and then 10-11 years later was again popped and
b) you had no problem in volunteering that your father was a pimp
c)... or that she worked for dear old dad

Amazing talent but a total clown.

Agree. Dez demonstrated why he is not and never will be Calvin Johnson.

He was walking off while the other team was taking a knee. The game was over.

Maybe he had to poop?

So everyone can walk out if they think there's no point in watching the end of the game? Or is it only ok when the "fiery competitors" do that?

Pooping would be a legit reason though.

This is kind of what I was always wondering about this whole Dez Bryant question.

I may not have all of the questions right, but this is what I remembered from the famous interview by Ireland of Dez Bryant.
Ireland; Dez what does your father do? He is a pimp. How about your mother, where does she work? Dez; she works for my Dad.
Would you automatically think his mother is the father's accountant? I don't think so.

If that was in fact the line of questioning to Dez the next logical question is the one which got everyone's shorts in a wad. That questions in those contents makes sense. Period. The question (Is you mom a prostitute?) by itself is stupid and makes no sense at all and there whould be not reason to ask it.

The trouble with a lie if it's total enough times it becomes a fact. My guess that the lie in this case was the question was taken out of context to either make the story of further the story. IMHO.

I agree that you have a right to investigate people that work for you.

Absolutely. And I also realize that the NFL work environment is a bit different... and I'm sure Dez gets **** talk on the field about his parents.

But Jeff is management. He needs to be held to a higher professional standard. Find a better way to poke and prod the guy, instead of asking him if his mom is a whore. Just my two cents.

I think a point blank question like that is appropriate.

was his mom a crack smoking prostitute or not? this is a busineas and if your investing millions in something wouldn't u wanna know everything about it? its not like Ireland just came out and asked if she was a hooker, the media took it out of context

 

[flynryan15]

Amazing years later and we still hash this out? Day after a huge division win boost our playoff hopes and this is one of te hottest threads on the main board! Dez is a tremendous talent with a .10 cent head. Ireland ask a stupid question and he gets a ton of shot for it because his personality makes him a easy target.

"the media took it out of context" is why Ireland should not have said it and in hindsight I am sure he would agree with. The media was attemting to paint a racitst situation to run up their ratings was their motive.

Pretty much.
