The Dez Bryant Saga

El Cinco De Mayo

First things first, I want to give a shout out to my older brother for his birthday.
What a lucky guy his birthday almost always worked out as the official end of semester party day.


The Dez Bryant Saga Has Just Begun

This guy is going to be a reporters dream. He just oozes self destructive super talent persona. Why is it that these personalities almost always seem to play wide receiver? This issue with the dolphins GM asking if his mother was a prostitute will read like a blip in the many headlines he will create in his career.
I have to start off by saying that I completely believe the GM of the Dolphins version of the interview. There is only one person in that room who has a character that can be called into question with pages and pages of proof. I mean this is the same athlete that lied to NCAA investigators right to their face after they told him all the evidence they had on his meetings with Deion Sanders and his associates. He tanked what could have been a big twelve championship season and a program will forever be marred. I think I will take the word of an NFL lifer over this kid. What do you think? Can you imagine the face of the GM when he asks this potential franchise receiver about his father and he quips back at him that his father was a pimp. Where else do you go with your follow up question than to his mother, who by the way is a two time felon for selling crack cocaine, and ask about her position in the family business.
While Dez Bryant’s mother might not possess the right to vote, I applaud her for asking for an apology from the Dolphins and their GM. I think she would have better luck ringing up her parole officer and actually getting in touch with someone on the other end. I wonder what went through his mother’s mind when Dez Bryant donned that 88 jersey in Dallas. Was there a picture of Clive Bigsby’s 500,000.00 crack party running through the back of her mind, or did her eyes well up with tears of pride, when he pulled Michael Irvin’s jersey over his head. I mean I couldn’t help but think that Michael Irvin would be one of Bryant’s heroes as he is a lying, crack addicted HOF wide receiver.
While my take may seem harsh, you can say I am frustrated by how the NFLPA immediately ran to his defense without finding out the facts. I wonder if the guy sharing a locker with Bryant during minicamp will care that most of his union dues will go to the lawyers that will fight the fines and suspensions of this can’t miss prospect.
