ha! behavioral classes with Big Ben, but seriously what can they do?? draft picks? please no.....

Taking away picks is a bit extreme. It's not like we recorded team practices of opposing teams or anything. Probably a fine or something. And it'd be ridiculous to fire someone over COMMENTS. I mean, hell Big Ben gets to rape a few people before the league even takes notice...

if they tag ireland for this they better get the other gm who asked the racial question about toby gerhart being a white running back in the nfl. do you smell double standard?
i think this whole damn thing is being blown out of the water

I mean they did that for the Pats cheating thing, plus draft picks.....make J-Lo pay the fine....

or nothing.
Had he not already apologized, I would have said they might make him issue an apology.

ohhh come Killa, there is no such thing a reverse racism!!!! you should know that....

maybe the letter includes that incident as well...

I really hope they try to take action, at which point Ireland comes forth with evidence that Bryant's mom has actually been a prostitute. Would that shut Dez up?

I actually dont think it is Dez this time, I think the Union is starting to kick the tires on it, along with the Gerhart thing.....

this is becoming a ridiculous witch hunt created by dez the douchebag. we don't draft the guy and we still can't get away from him. I am going to laugh when he gets harrassed on the field about his mom being a prostitute and retaliates. oh wait maybe the ref will take diva's side and they will totally censor trash talk.
this is a mockery of a sham of a travesty folks

We can knock Dez Bryant all day long, but the fact remains it was Ireland who asked the dumbass question.

Let's put this in perspective. If you were in the schoolyard and some other kid asked you: "was your mother a whore, " you would've decked him, right? How does an interviewer get to do the same thing? Seriously. We learned in grammar school to leave mothers out of things for a reason. It takes a 24-carat gold-plated a-hole to put a kid in that position at a job interview.

and ireland apologized for it
what do you want to happen with this whole thing. that a team loses a draft pick or something everytime a gm asks an esoteric question. there isnt anyone in the league who hasn't done that
besides the apology i'm not sure what else you would expect him to do.

for the record dez bryant is a whiny little bihtch who needs to just STFU

There is a time and a place for you to get mad, the kid almost slipped out of the 1st round, and with that went all that first round money too.....bad enough he wasnt top 15 or even 10, because his talent is........his atitude had alot to do with it, but instead of looking in the mirror, shutting up, playing the role, and cashing in, he blamed other people.....very common theme in society nowadays....

although one could say he cashed in being on the Cowboys too lol.......but there is a big difference between number 10, 11, 12 money than number what 30?? who knows if the scarecrow didnt take him, how far he would have fallen??

IMO There was nothing wrong with the question. It was designed to make him mad, and it did. Which is probably one of the reasons we didn't end up drafting him at the #12 spot.

If someone asked if my mom was a prostitute at an interview, I'd just laugh and say no. Dez is a complete idiot.

I don't even have a problem with Ireland. I don't want anything to happen to him. He did apologize, and the issue should be dead. But saying this is somehow Bryant's fault is silly.

If Ireland didn't draft Bryant because of his reaction (which was hardly a reaction at all) to that question, he is incompetent and should be fired. There were more than several reasons not to draft Dez. That wasn't one of them.

the guy is a crybaby
if he had any balls or smarts he wouldn't have been offended by the question
he did this with the shoes issue too
he feels like he was being personally attacked.
I'm sure that wasn't the intent.
the guy is going to take so much heat on the field. it will affect him mentally imo

If it led Ireland and company to trade for Marshall, forget fine... he should be given a key to the city!

Crying helps, Dez. Just wipe away the tears with all that Jerry Jones money, bro. You'll be okay.

Good point........technically there isnt anything they can do......also screw that no way should a private entity be told how to run their show...

Just to be a Devil's advocate, Enron was a private entity...

I'm MUCH more floored by these comments than I am by Irelands conduct.

I've never heard so many grown men spouting off about how a COMMENT would have legitimized throwing a tempertantrum and hitting someone, or flipping over desks. From players, fans, and talking heads there is an abundance of egos flaring up over one of the silliest non-issues ever.

I'll go on record and say you can say anything you want about my mama...fact is you don't know Jack **** about her. I'll also say you can say nearly damn near anything about me and I won't bat an eye. The only thing I can see feeing me off is if you were making lude or derrogatory comments about my spouse or child repeatedly over time or in their presence. Because once again...you don't know Jack **** about me or my family. Getting teed off and so offended about a dumbass comment from someone else is juvenile to say the least.

Dez isn't a kid on a playground. He's a grown man. At the end of the day Irelands comments didn't change affect who Dez is. People need to take an ego check and look at what happened. The "yo mama" chip on their shoulders should have been left back in the 3rd grade.
