  1. Similar hypothetical scenario. Say that Dez Bryant's brother had been believed to have a gambling problem. Would it be fair to ask Dez about his brother in an interview?
  2. So does the guy that sweeps the aisles for the Dallas Cowboys. We have no idea how the question was phrased. All we have is what Dez Bryant told reporters. We don't know if they asked about his relationship with his mother, how her actions related to his life, etc...
  3. Let us know when your role is make multi-million dollar personel assessments. That's like saying I played high school quarterback, I know what it takes to be an NFL QB.
  4. Players will play for "that kind of regime" if the money is right, just like teams will take on the Tank Johnsons and Pacman Jones of the world if they think that there's money to be made.
  5. You don't think that the enviornment that somebody grows up in has an impact on their character?
  6. Everyone is attempting to avoid drafting the next Michael Vick, Pacman Jones etc. Like it or not, as a player entering the draft, everything is on the table. There are real concerns about his character. Anyone drafting him knows that they're taking a chance. I'd want to know as much as possible before I took that chance.
  7. Psych test or not... I really don't see what the problem is with asking this question. You're making a decision that will likely have tens of millions of dollars in implications. I would have no problem with asking this question... "Dez, you understand that there's a lot of scrutiny around your background? I hate to ask you this, but we really need to hear from you what's true and what isn't. <Insert question(s) here>/ I appreciate your candor and directness. I think we've gained alot from this interview, and I wish you the best of luck in the future. I know this process isn't easy, but there's light at the end of tunnel... blah blah blah.."
  8. I'd compare them to athletes taking PEDs. They play games to keep the share value up, thus creating a false illusion of grandure.
  9. 1) Most major corporations don't pay somebody a mutli-million dollar contract coming out of college. You have to prove you results on a professional basis to become a CEO. 2) Major corporations will do background checks and have private investigators find as much information as possible on their candidates. They know about affairs, connections, etc.
  10. Sec. 25.02. PROHIBITED SEXUAL CONDUCT. (a) An individual commits an offense if he engages in sexual intercourse or deviate sexual intercourse with a person he knows to be, without regard to legitimacy: (1) his ancestor or descendant by blood or adoption; (2) his stepchild or stepparent, while the marriage creating that relationship exists; (3) his parent's brother or sister of the whole or half blood; (4) his brother or sister of the whole or half blood or by adoption; or (5) the children of his brother or sister of the whole or half blood or by adoption. (b) For purposes of this section: (1) "Deviate sexual intercourse" means any contact between the genitals of one person and the mouth or anus of another person with intent to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person. (2) "Sexual intercourse" means any penetration of the female sex organ by the male sex organ. © An offense under this section is a felony of the third degree. This is not to be confused with Statutory Rape. In Louisiana, if she were 15, and he were 17 or under, it would not be considered statutory rape. You must be within 2 years of age, if she is under 17.
  11. It'd be a good story... but I'm with Leonidas. Practice Squad probably. Barring injury, I don't expect to see him on Sundays.
  12. He's not getting any younger, and he's nothing more than a stop-gap to getting a better long term solution. That said, he's better right now than anything else we have.
  13. I really wasn't impressed with his highlight video. Sure he led the conference in sacks, but sometimes the result aren't indicative of the process. I really didn't see him making any moves... Several of those sacks were the result of awful blocking. It looked like he took a lot of chances on runs giving up position. Overall I thought he looked like he had above average speed for the college level, but that might not translate to the NFL. I would have like to see him shed more blockers, or show some sort of move other than running around the outside.
  14. We embraced Travis Henry when he was here... so why not Tony? How about Andrew Tyshovnytsky too?
  15. Or that teams that have picks in the top 10, take longer to rebuild than the the average NFL career for a first rounder.
  16. How many QBs drafted in the top 10 in that same period won superbowls?
  17. How can you not want to make the most of your time in the NFL?
  18. Oakland has Russel, Charlie Frye and Bruce Gradkowski... not only are they worse, but they cost more too.
