Dolphins' Ireland apologizes to Bryant

Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland apologized to Dallas Cowboys first-round draft pick Dez Bryant on Tuesday for asking during a pre-draft visit whether his mother was a prostitute.

Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic discuss the controversy surrounding Miami Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland and Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant. Ireland had asked Bryant if Bryant's mother was a prostitute in a meeting the two had before the NFL draft.

David Wells, Bryant's adviser, told ESPNDallas.com Tuesday that the former Oklahoma State wide receiver was asked about his mother during a visit to the Dolphins in March, prior to the NFL draft.

Yahoo! Sports, which was first to report the story, also revealed that it was Ireland who asked the question of Bryant.

Wells and Bryant declined further comment.

"My job is to find out as much information as possible about a player that I'm considering drafting. Sometimes that leads to asking in-depth questions," Ireland said Tuesday in a statement released by the Dolphins. "Having said that, I talked to Dez Bryant and told him I used poor judgment in one of the questions I asked him. I certainly meant no disrespect and apologized to him."

1. Did he want a football player? Was Dez good enough to be hired?

Was Dez MOM planning to play football? :grr:
What a jerk.

2. If the GM thought that this guy would be a problem then why interview him in the first place?

I bet he suffers nothing for this. :mad:

3. I'm sure they asked Bob Griese, Larry Csonka, Jim Kiick, and Dan Marino the EXACT SAME question

5. Slap on the wrist?

How about a punch from a 215# wide receiver (who showed remarkable restraint). Could you imagine asking a roid rage case like Romanowski being asked that question. That would have to collect the pieces afterwards.

6. Give that man a Pink Slip. Nt

9. this is how men... talk about women.... today. hypocrites to do it yourself

and then yell about another man doing it.

it is our culture. here to stay. because men want to treat women as their fucks and some women allow it.

then on the other side we have men voting into law to rape women with instruments to view fetus to shame and encourage doctors not to tell patients if their is a problem with a fetus

then a world away, we have a religion saying it is the boobs fault. and women her strippin to prove them wrong. and men here cheering the boob flash.

and not a single person seems intelligent enough to be able to discuss it as if the woman is actually a human being.
