"Bryant's relationship with his father has been described as distant and non-existent. The cause of death and Hatton's age are not known at this time."

I didn't realize he wasn't close to him at all. Regardless, has to hurt like hell.
Part of his pain might be that they weren't close. Dez had such a tough upbringing.

He had a very difficult upbringing. Dez has overcome a lot throughout his life and its sad that so many people associated with the league have wasted so much energy trying to disparage the guy. He plays with as much heart as anyone I've ever seen.

I hear you. Except. He said it himself. Not down playing it. Dez said it himself for years. And like I said, still has to hurt like hell.
It's trite, but time heals all wounds... and their relationship probably was non-existent for many years. Doesn't mean they never reconciled as evidenced by that picture.

I only tagged you to show a different view, not really to debate the status of his relationship. It's a tough deal all around when someone passes.

It certainly is. I see it all the time. My original post stated I wasn't aware they hadn't been close. As in, it was news to me. Thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.

Hey I heard here Dez is a character issue for the Cowboys.

That kind of talk honestly disgusts me.

Condolences to Dez and his family.
