Dez Bryant arrested (911 Call-Post 847) **closed**

[juck]

Too bad Dez doesn't pay his bills. I doubt he has any savings or much money laying around. He is a paycheck to paycheck type of person, he will be broke once his career is over. I wish I could place a future bet on this event happening...

As a comparison, Larry Fitzgearld still has his first signing bonus money...

The check will be signed by Jerry.

What's the salary hit for just releasing him outright? That might be best. Cut our losses and start looking for alternatives.

It appears we have 52 great guys on this team, and Dez Bryant.

We still have no proof that this guy knows one iota more of the playbook anyway.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

you've been embarrassed by him? how does anything this person who you do not know does cause YOU embarrassment? nothing he does reflects on you...

Embarassed for him first, the team second, other fans thridly and finally yes even myself because I like all the affore mentioned ..... also a fan of humanity, in which case all men reflect on every man.

TMZ man.. they gotta spice it up. They used the word "bra".. now the story has sex and violence. Our society will eat it up.

Hahaha, I'm not sure if it's wrong but this gave me a much needed laugh today.

No, if someone is so upset that they want me to leave their house and the premesis I'd leave. It's that simple. Luckily in my family of 7 growing up it never happened. But if it did or my wife did the same in front of our 3 kids, I would. I would never think..."hit the woman." What is so hard to understand about that?

That's fair. I'm not defending his actions. I just think when you're around family especially one with out any documented problems in the past there might be a tendency to think the police won't be involved. He did eventually leave. Again though, there's no excuse for touching anyone in an argument. I just wonder about what really happened. I'm trying to play devil's advocate. Clearly, it's two people against Dez. And IMO, from the phone call it didn't sound like anything horrible was going on except for an argument and she was being dramatic.

You can't be serious..

She totally denied being injured when the cop asked her on the 911 call. then 2 days later she says she is hurt. She trying to get paid.

 

[cowboy_ron]

I think many are overlooking the type of upbringing that Dez had....I don't think many of us can imagine a childhood with no direction, a mom that is a drug addict, a child that most likely didn't know where he was going to lay his head down every night.

With that being his upbringing, I can see how knowing the difference between right and wrong in some cases would be difficult. Yes, he's a grown man now but that doesn't erase his poor direction in his formative years as most of us enjoyed. It's obvious his family wants to keep pulling him down to their level rather than rising out of the ashes they're currently. Obviously "mom" is still on the crack or she would realize that you don't have your cash cow arrested.

We're also talking more importantly about a young mans life over his football talent, he will need more than the average run of the mill player, such as possibly a "life coach" that could help him in making correct decisions which were obviously not available to him in his childhood.

As hard as it may be for him, it is time for him to cut his family ties since they obviously care nothing about him outside of the money he is now making......Dez, rise above this and say good bye to dear ole loving "mom" and the rest of the family that care nothing about you or anything but the almighty drugs.......good luck to you Dez.

Don't look at the facts. Just the drama.

He's an adult himself now, the world is beutiful but also very unforgiving. He can't grow up over night, this is going to take awhile.

Baby sitting sucks in the NFL.

Very well said. You've said everything I didn't know how to and I couldn't agree with you more.

Nope, it appears that it took the authorities two days to get their facts straight and ask for a warrant from a local judge.

Its not that hard to get a warrant:

Judge: Is the defendant breathing?

Officer: Yes, your honor.

Judge: Here is your warrant. Don't rough him up too bad, you know we have depth problems at WR this year.

From a new ESPN article .. if this has been posted already, ignore ..

Dez Bryant's mom alleges assault

Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant was arrested Monday after he allegedly assaulted his mother, Angela, on Saturday, according to DeSoto police Captain Ron Smith.

According to the incident report, Bryant became angry when his mother asked him to leave her home during an argument Saturday afternoon. Initially, at a Tuesday news conference, Smith said Bryant slapped his mother in the face, but the police report, which was released later Tuesday, clarified that Bryant allegedly grabbed her by her T-shirt and hair and "hit her across the face with his ball cap."

Angela Bryant, whose T-shirt and bra were allegedly torn during the incident, indicated on the 911 call that this was not the first time she was assaulted by her son.

"I can't keep letting him do this," said Angela Bryant, who made the call from the nearby home of family friend and adviser David Wells. "I can't keep letting him do me like this. I'm tired. I'm going to put an end to it today. I'm going to put an end to it today. I'm tired."

GREAT point. I'll even go as far to say that this incident may have needed to happen for Dez to realize that some of his family & friends, INCLUDING HIS MOM, need to be cut completely out of his life. With her checkered past, I wouldn't be surprised if what comes out of this is that the argument was all over money that they feel Dez should be giving them. Seriously would not shock me.

I got you...It may have been a normal argument in their lives and police may never have been involved. But I think most rational people, as we discussed above, would just walk away. At least in his position walking away is the prudent thing. Heck I don't like any bad arguments around my kids and if its even minor I remove myself to another room when I can feel we are starting to get on each other's nerves. Not that we fight much.. but in the normal marriage setting. That's where I see trouble in him...his switch is a little different and he is strung tight.

The purpose of going to College is to what? Get a good career, make lots of money.

Last I checked, he's done that. No matter how he got there, he's there.

Wrong. Athletes like Dez go to college to play football, not for an education.

This happens every day all around the world. It's not an excuse to be an ***.
I'm sorry, there's a ton of people who learned right from wrong on their own.
There's a ton of people who chose to do things wrong.
Dez seems to be the later.

He said they go for a career and to make money. Dez did that.

I addressed that in my post...just because you reach adulthood doesn't automatically mature you when you weren't properly raised as a child.

Sadly if true plenty here will try and rationalize this too. Remember all the people that scoffed last week at the rumor he would only get one contract here. Anybody really think if the Cowboys could get a do over on the 2010 draft Dez would be here.
