I just wanted to say that for all those people that said Dez should have just walked away: he was not there when she made the 911 call nor when the police arrived.

Its a family issue, im sure its a sensitive thing.. and im also sure he doesn't want them degrading his mother to make himself look better. Just suggesting that even is kind of disgusting. Would you throw your mother under the bus to try and make yourself look better in a public setting? That's about as low as it gets, imo.

Eminem would

:D

M'Kvon said he made it out of East Orange. That's just as impressive.

What part of Jersey? I used to live in a suburb of Philly and had to go to Jersey all the time. Hated every where I went there except Marlton and Wildwood.

Some of you are very naive. People pick up the phone and dial 911 for no reason all the time. Just because the police were there doesn't mean Dez did anything. Nor does it mean he didn't do anything. But it's incredibly naive to think people don't pick up the phone and make untruthful accusations. Be a patrolman for a week or so and you'll figure it out. SSDD and it's generally the same people every time.

He lost his ability to have any input on the matter when he jeopardized multi million dollar investments by assaulting the mother he obviously loves so much.

What? His attorney is going to go rogue and do something against his own wishes?

He has total input on the matter. It's his matter.

Audio sounded like he was there.

Sounded like he left mid-call but the audio is so crappy and the ability to understand what she is saying is minimal.

I got up that way occasionally but I just hated the whole thing. But I hated NYC even more. My one regret is that for all the times I went to NYC, I never went to Ellis Island. Going to make sure I do that though soon. Kids want to go to the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade so maybe we will do it then.

This is the DeSoto police press conference. His mother told them that he grabbed her wrist and pushed her away. I will leave it to people to hypothesize why someone would grab another's wrist and push them away.

You mean like when the other person is throwing punches at you because you told them you would no longer give them money for crack? I hate it when that happens to me.

This may have been addressed already, but I have been in and out.

The thing that bothers me about this entire situation isn't what happened/may not have happened in this exact case. If he did something wrong, he should be punished. If he didn't, he shouldn't.

But listening to Ben and Skin today, they both talked about how this isn't the first time the Desoto police have been out there for something reasonably similar. Except normally they'd show up, Dez would be gone, and nobody would want to say anything to the cops. It may have been the same issue, or may have been something slightly different, but regardless. That means this isn't a one time isolated incident.

Why can't people just be millionaires and play football? I really don't get it.

Maybe because most people don't have a crackhead for a mother who views them as nothing more than the gravy train who provides her next fix.

But if I was a pro football player who already had run ins with ....drama. And I couldn't go to my Mom's house without getting the cops called on me.... I'd stop going to her house!

I would imagine that it public record and if true, it will come out with some documentation. Rather than people just saying this or that, I prefer some evidence before I convict someone. (Not saying you are doing that BTW.)

Why can't anyone just be a janitor and fix pipes? Why can't anyone just be a software developer and write code?

Because people have personal lives, personal dramas, personal histories and personal demons. There's nothing inherently unique about football players, other than professional football is a pure meritocracy (ie either you can play the game or you can't), that doesn't pre-filter people out on family background, education, appearances, social mores or networking.

Yeah absolutely.

They both talked as if it was fairly common knowledge among sports media that Dez was still causing lots of drama off the field, he'd just been lucky and kept it under wraps for a while.

Hopefully that's a lesson he will learn.
