I just wish I could have been a fly on the wall when he asked the question. I imagine it would have gone something like this..... Ireland: "So that wraps up the first portion of questioning. Do you have any questions for us before we continue?" Bryant: "No, sir. I'm ready to proceed." Ireland: "Is your mom a hooker?" Bryant: ""
Ireland: "Do you regret the whole incident with Deion Sanders?" Bryant: "Absolutely. It was a mistake and I'm ready to move on." Ireland: "Is your mother a whore?"
Reminds me of a scene from Menace: Ireland: "Now let me get this right.......you bought....the bottle.....of beer.....about 11:15" Bryant: "I - I bought the beer.....and I accidently dropped it ----" Ireland "You BOUGHT.....the bottle......of beer.....at 11:15" Dez "At....yeah....at 11:15. Yeah. 11:15" Ireland "But you don't remember what they -" "LOOKED like" "But you bought the bottle of beer, definately....at 12:15" Dez "Yeah it was 12:15, exact, if i'm not mistaken" Ireland. You know you done effed up now. You know you done effed up now, right?
ireland:"as you know ,we are in the business of drafting family's" dez:mental notedon't tell them my moms a whore!) ireland:"says here your mom's been picked up a few times for prostitution.is this true?" dez:mental note(it's like he's inside my head!!)yes?!? ireland:and what was her shuttle time?
No, no, no...I think it went something like this: Ireland: So, Dez...what do you and your family like to do in your spare time? Any hobbies or favorite pastimes? Bryant: Well, I likes to chill mostly. You know, play me some Madden and what not. And, my mom, she likes to tend to her garden. Ireland: Oh, your mother is a gardner? What does she grow? Bryant: Tomatoes and you know, that kind of stuff. Ireland: What does she use to cultivate with...a hoe? Bryant: Hey man...you callin' my motha a ho?! Ireland:
i dont see what all the stink is about with this kid or the question. wasnt it reported that his mom was a whore at some point? wasnt it reported that at 12 years old she was knocked up by some guy about 40 years old? if thats true, or even reported, then it was a legitimate question. this certainly cant be the only incident in his life where a question like that was asked. i heard he has never had any legal issues himself. i think thats impressive if the stuff about his mom is true. for him to keep his nose clean in an enviornment like that and become a top prospect is impressive.
I will say this on Irelands behalf. If any employer was going to give me 30 million dollars to work there, they could ask me anything. "Is your mother a prostitute?" My reply: "Are you interested?"
