Dez Bryant's mother comes to attention with Jeff Ireland's bumble

It was a rare display of calm by Dez Bryant, former WR for the Cowboys, when Jeff Ireland asked him a question that could only come across as a completely uncouth thing to do. Jeff Ireland who is the General Manager for the Dolphin's was interviewing Dez Bryant to decide whether to draft him or not and in the middle of it he asked whether Dez Bryant's mother was in the line of prostitution - to use his words he said: "was your mother a prostitute?"

Now I don't know if he meant it in a joking way or not but it was something that went way below the belt and though he was slow in realizing it, Jeff Ireland did eventually apologize to Dez Bryant.

Now a lot of people are asking questions about Dez Bryant's mother and I think it would be best if we left the matter alone as it is none of our business to pry into the personal life of Dez.

The questions we all should be asking ourselves is: who made Jeff Ireland the General Manager of the Dolphins? For anyone who can say a thing like that without even blinking an eye is bound to be someone without any courtesy for his fellow men.

The news has and will continue to be a stain on the Dolphins' reputation though they did select Dez Bryant in the 24th overall draft selection and if I were him I would sue Jeff Ireland for every penny he owns.
