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

So you're saying if this was Mike Vick, the board would be so cautious after the arrest and 911 call? Please.

No...if this was Vick we would be talking about killing dogs. Keep up!

That doesn't mean he committed a crime by staying there.

He got arrested because he stayed. Oh yeah, he left when she called the police, he should have done that earlier.

I can't speak to the entire board.

I can only speak for myself. When the entire body of evidence lies in the testimony of a crack addict ex-con with a lifetime of trouble, I don't necessarily conclude it to be an open and shut case before the defendent's testimony has even seen the light of day.

And I'm pretty amazed (scared) anyone thinks otherwise.

He actually left...it was later that the mom cried wolf.

Gotta get that money.

Yeah and he would have been tried and prosecuted by the second page of this thread.

I thought when she said on the tape "I am going to end this right now," was funny.

We have her account and she points the finger in one direction. There as they say are two sides to the story.

I suspect we're all Jeff Ireland fans now.

He was the first to insult Dez's mom which seems to be the cool thing to do now.

He already was...just like Dez is getting. Drugs or dogs, take your pick.

Well, Michael Vick is still slinging the pigskin for the Eggles. Dez will be more than fine.

Dez didn't head a dog fighting ring, lol.

The attempted comparison between Dez and Vick is so stupid it makes my head hurt.

What you see is the Cowboys season starting off in the tank. I get it I'm a fan to but what's the likelyhood of this being true, knowing Dez's other incidents, pretty high. If you had to wager $1000 on the next Cowboy to make negative headlines off the field who would you place it on? Last offseason and this offseason it's been Dez, out of the other 52 players.

I was actually quite fine with Ireland. When you're taking on a player, you're taking on his baggage ... that includes his drug addict ex-con prostitute mother. That's why you got to gather information, even if the information is uncomfortable or unpleasant, so you can decide whether the player is worth the baggage. It's not an insult when it's the truth. It's part of the decision making process.

However, once you take on that player, it's a little late in the game to pretend outrage when the player suffers his inevitable bumps in the road or when the baggage pops up again. There's a reason you got a Top 5 talent late in the first round. If you don't want to take on the baggage, you take Dan Williams or Arnelius Benn or Jared Odrick with the pick or some other lesser talented player. But if you take the troubled player, you got to put on your big boy pants and buckle up the chin strap and deal with your decision. You can't just bail when the predictable happens.

I'm not comparing them. I'm just saying people are crying for him to be traded over a domestic violence misdemeanor. Vick went to jail on felony dog fighting charges and he is still playing. Dez is going nowhere.

It's definitely not cool and it's not fair to insult his mother. I'm guilty of it at some point in this thread. I have no tolerance for what I've heard about her. She wasn't a mother to him. IMO, every kid deserves to feel what it's like to be loved by their mother. I'm wrong when I insult her, but it's ignorant to forget the facts about her and not bring them up and take them into account when discussing what happened.

Oh I know. I was just piggybacking. The fact this thread has something like 1200 posts is hilarious.

Taking into consideration someone's past is one thing, blatantly disregarding everything they have to say and calling them nearly every obscenity in the book is another.

i haven't seen anyone call her every obscenity in the book. i called her a useless human being, and i stand by that. i was wrong to say it, it's something i should have kept to myself, but it's how i feel.

referring to her as a crackhead or a prostitute is part of her past, there is no denying that.

It's frustrating. I need to just ignore it.

If someone is assaulting you, you have every right to get them to stop assaulting you. It doesn't matter who it is. If someone is attempting to rake out your eyes you don't just stand there and go permanently blind because it's your mother.

I really can't agree withis this statement.

If my mom was to get physical with me, which she hasn't and never will, I would never get physical with her, regardless what she was trying to do, out of respect for her, noway I would ever hit her. Yes, I might restrain her from attacking me, but I would try to get separation from her so I could leave the confrontational situation.
