Man, I wanted to be the 1200th post in this thread.

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.

Excuse me...but, that is what I have to remind myself about you!

lol I wonder if this thread has been the fastest to reach 1200 in CZ history.

Truly a sad day for Cowboys fans when there is a significant subset of fans who are actually happy about a player falling into a tough spot.

i said this earlier, there's a group who have been literally praying for this to happen. The same people that wanted ray Lewis here 5 years ago no doubt

 

[casmith07]

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

I can't

 

[romomania]

Wheres the statement by Dez?

 

[wittenacious]

I'm totally reminded a scene in The Sopranos. Ralphie kills a stripper and keeps saying "but Tony, she was a *****"

Even Tony Soprano didn't buy that logic.

But we seem to embrace it here.

I'm one who uses extreme logic to make a point, sometimes, myself... but this seems a stretch to even me.

Slapping your crack ho mom... who you know intimately, and she, you... across the face with a ball cap, and pulling her hair, and grabbing her by the shirt to the point of tearing it — all according to her, unless Dez admitted to doing so — is not even remotely in the same zip code as killing somebody. C'mon.

Domestic violence of one degree does not necessarily equal DV of another, much more extreme degree.

Sorry. Don't buy the attempted relation between the two.

" And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

You guys!! dez did the right thing here.

he laid his vengeance upon his mom

I thought was going to give a statement too. I would like to hear his side of the story.

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.

Trust me, I didn't need this incident to tell me Dez was going to have problems. I could look at the fact that he grew up homeless and could decipher he was going to spend his money poorly. I could look at the fact that his mother was a drug addict ex-con and decipher that she was going to be a bigger destructive problem in Dez' life once he had money. I've had my eyes open since Day 1 when it was first reported the Cowboys were looking at him in the pre-draft process. I decided it was okay because a) He was going to be a vastly better player than the Jared Odricks and Dan Williams and Jerry Hughes and anyone else available with the 27th pick. b) While he's going to go through some significant growing pains on the learning curve of life, he's fundamentally a good hearted kid who won't be a danger to society. Absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing, that's happened since has changed my opinion. This has borne out completely as expected.

I'm not the naive one. The naive ones are the ones who had this romantic view that Dez Bryant was going to follow the straight and narrow and have some Hollywood ending just because he plays for the Cowboys. There's no Hollywood ending here. Dez Bryant is what happens when Michael Oher doesn't get adopted by the rich white family. It's ugly. There are life lessons learned, and they're learned the hard way. They don't make movies about it for Sandra Bullock to star in with a horrendous Southern accent. If the Cowboys can't deal with it, they had no business drafting him in the first place.

lol i guess i should be thankful for that

I'm not the naive one. The naive ones are the ones who took this troubled kid with obvious baggage and thought this was going to play out like some Hollywood movie just because he plays for the Cowboys. There's no Hollywood ending here. Dez Bryant is what happens when Michael Oher doesn't get adopted by the rich white family.

That's not cool, bro!

he's fundamentally a good hearted kid who won't be a danger to society.

THIS, THIS, THIS!

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.

Your mom probably isn't a crack addict ex-con.

Just because you popped out a kid doesn't mean your some inherently malevolent human being deserving of respect. It just means you had unprotected sex and successfully carried a fetus to term. It doesn't give you a life long merit badge. Many mothers are great and deserving of respect. Many mothers are horrible, destructive people, and their children are better off removing them from their lives as quickly as possible.

And I hardly doubt she's never gotten physically abusive with Dez before. By all accounts she was a negligent, horrible mother. It's hard to believe she drew some moral line in the sand at physical abuse.

You're rushing to judgment. Fact.

Dez Bryant says he will not be issuing a formal statement. Said it was a misunderstanding and "we good." @NBCDFW #dezbryant

Just brilliantly laid out.
