We all know how desperate Jerry can get (see the Roy Williams trade AKA the worst trade in NFL history). Having Gordon wouldn't even let Jerry think twice about signing a WR like T.O. or Mike Williams.

I really hate this stupid phrase and the ones just like it. People use it to defend EVERYTHING. Your average person who's worst crime is maybe j-walking has every right to complain about people who commit far more serious offenses. I hear this same thing from people even when people are bashing rapists and murderers also (no I'm not comparing that to what dez did). It drives me nuts.

I think his application of it was apropos but I do agree 99% of the time it is over used. There are usually skeletons in everyones closet though.

That wasn't my point at all. My point was who do you trust, Dez or a woman who abandoned her children and spent 2 years in the penitentiary for selling crack cocaine, and has had a history of abuse?

Is it so crazy to think this woman, who he obviously cares about because he's still trying to take care of her after all the terrible things she's put him through, could be lying? It's not like she hasn't set a precedent for being an absolutely terrible human being. Dez wants a relationship with his mother and she's probably clinically insane. Dez has feelings and she's the only parent he has, she's proven that she cares more about her drug addiction than her kids.

He's never made ANY excuses for himself, even though his upbringing was terrible and he probably needs years of counseling. So save the chest thumping, money doesn't buy happiness or fix the years of mental abuse an upbringing like Dez can do to you psychologically.

Again, how do we know her's wasn't the same or worse. No money doesn't buy happiness, never said it did. What I said was he seems to have the best chance to get his life right. Seems like he's throwing that chance away, that's on him. I hope he gets more help myself. Not only would it be a waste of talent and future but a waste of a human being.

Are you joking? Gordon has a way worse profile than Dez had.

Wrong!! We won the worst trade in history vs the Vikings (Herschel Walker trade). We got three rings out of it.

I've heard multi millionaires say that before...but I also don't see them offering to give theirs away to achieve the happiness they say money doesn't buy.:D

I have the strangest feeling that this has more to do with Dez mom and her lifestyle then it does with Dez itself.....I got the strangest feeling the little boy in Dez is trying to keep his mom away from the "bad crowd" that led Jeff Ireland to ask him the questions he did.....call me crazy but just a gut feeling

True. He smokes or smoked weed. He must be a horrible person.

How many of us were whining about Michael Irvin back in the 90's when he was wining and dining ladies of the night and cookin up some white powder for breakfast?

Yeah, well, Dez ain't Michael Irvin, is he? Irvin is in the HoF. So far, Dez has been all hype.

I really don't understand why someone is defending a guy who assaulted his own mother. Just don't get it.

Upbringing or not, a man does not raise his hand against a woman. Period.

Yeah. I mean we all beat up our moms once in our life, right Phillip?

Ok, cut this idiot and keep tbe North Texas rookie for sure now.

It means nobody is perfect. Who are you to judge Dez? What do you truly know about this situation? There is obviously something much larger underlying this entire situation that nobody knows about.

Regardless of the type of person Dez' mother is, HE chooses to surround himself with people who are detrimental to his life. I'm so sick of people making excuses for this guy. I have friends that had horrible upbringings from their parents, and turned out to be great people.

lol. I like how there are 2 camps. One that will bend over backwards to completely dismiss anything and everything Dez has did and is doing and the other who completely nails him to a wall for it.

How about you just recognize the dude has had a knack for finding himself in poor situations? You don't have to have the whole story to see that much. That, to me, shows a lack of judgment on his part.

:laugh2:

Gordon was run off from one school team and then arrested and kicked off of another. Are you seriously saying Dez' profile was worse than that?

I've said forever (even when most people were ignoring or denying it) that Dez has issues and will most likely continue to be a headache. But this Gordon guy is even worse at the same point in their career.

That's absolutely right.

He should stay away from them completely.


That being said, he likely won't. Even though his own mother is being maliciaous he will return.

Abuse is Family.

Because not everyone was raised that way. My elders taught us that you never hit a woman in anger, and never start anything physical with a woman. But, if a woman comes at you with a fist or a weapon, she is no longer a woman. She is an opponent.
