I don't blame him. My kids come before anything.

Well even this will start the usual suspects on a whining rampage about him.

Wish that lady would leave him alone while he footballs. Let him work, it helps your child.

I understand children are important, but this is a legal matter, not taking his kid to the hospital or anything. Can a lawyer not handle this?

Some realize he’s good, but also the weakest link. Could someone be indirectly urging the media to keep working this angle?

A good attorney could handle this for him

Get your kid. Get the QB.

Sending a lawyer to court and not showing up yourself probably doesn't show the judge a great deal of parental commitment.

No offense, but you've obviously never been through something like this. This isn't in regards to a traffic ticket. Appearances go a long way with the Judge, demonstrating you'll be there for your kids no matter what.

Had to scroll back up and make sure I read the right name....."weakest link"?

How do you mean, ES?

The guy has a private life.

Move on media

If there are weekly court appearances, then surely his lawyer can ask the Judge to schedule them for the day off? Irving wont keep his job if he keeps missing time - which isnt good for the child.

Valid point. I have no idea how often they have court, but I've never seen three a week for custody cases.

Show up on Sunday and ball out and none of the other stuff will matter

 

[Little Jr]

Being at court for this is VERY important for his kid. But not throwing paper's at someone serving you papers, not getting evicted from your home and not getting suspended is also VERY important for his kid.

Meaning he APPEARS to be the most unstable. Someone with power and influence may subtly jab certain media pals, indirectly encouraging them to be vigilant. If they can drum up enough negative publicity to cause a suspension or even a distraction, it weakens the Cowboys’ DL rotation.

Not saying it IS happening, just acknowledging the possibility...

SMH at people who get on him for doing this.

Jeez.

They won’t though! Cowboy dumpster fires are rating$ winners!

Gotcha. You meant weak link in the public perception, not on the Defense.
