Dez Bryant

Probably not breaking news to most of you, but figured this was smack talk worthy and no one else made one.

[Ron Mexico]

He beat up his mother? What kind of a loser does that? You would think that he was from western Pennsylvania.....

[jjenn300]

That clown should be susppended for being so stupid.Beating up your mother, are you kidding me.

[wolfkaosaun]

I have no respect for any guy that hits a woman. ESPECIALLY your mother.

If you can hit your mother, what's stopping you from hitting any other woman?

Disgraceful

Man...his mom was 13 or 14 when she had him!

I knew one girl who went to school with my sister who had a child that young, but wow.

[CloeHokie]

His Mom is a crackhead who has been arrested like 10 times and is still on probation. Police did not even arrest Bryant when they arrived as there was no physical evidence of any assault. Witnesses say he threw his hat in her face. OMG! Sad. Would not want to be a part of that family. But to me it sounds like she is certainly exaggerating the heck out of this. Maybe she needs more money for crack.

[Arturo Bandini]

I don't believe the mother on that one.

His mother being an addict doesn't make it okay to throw stuff at her though. He's still a doosh. Allegedly grabbed her up by her shirt and hair as well. If that's true, I don't care if she was smoking a boulder right in front of him, that's messed up.

Well, aggression like that to your mother in general is bad, but after reading more about it, it does seem like this is blown way out of proportion. If there was a bit of domestic violence happening, then if all he did was throw his hat at her, it isn't all that bad. He could easily have beat her up....pretty bad.

I'm not condoning hat throwing, but it's certainly better than what I originally heard.

[BigPapaKain]

If she's as bad as reports say, what's to say she didn't throw the first punch? Self defense is self defense. I'm not condoning him beating his mother or any woman, but if she started the fight then I don't care who it is, you're allowed to subdue them.

I agree but calling the police and saying he is after your life for that? She wants money like all crackheads.

If she really wants more money I don't know why she'd be doing this. The more trouble he gets in the lower that NFL salary is going to be. People are already calling for the Cowboys to cut him bc of his continued headaches. If she really wants the green she'd have let this pass by.

She said her life was in danger for getting a hat thrown at her? I tend to think her criminal record along with the cope not seeing any sign of abuse = A exaggerated story of I need some more money. I agree but he has a lot now and she has nothing and may owe a lot for various crimes/crack deals. Just saying these facts are very sketchy.

I am not ready to call him anything just yet. We don't know what the mother did to provoke this. And for everyone who says you should never hit a woman, tell me how to handle this scenario. A 35 year old woman tries to physically assault your 16 year old daughter who is volunteering at a vendor's stand for high school credits. Do you get involved, or do you stand and watch because you do not ever strike a woman? This happened to me, and I don't care if you are a man, woman, or a cartoon character, if you go after my child, we will have problems.

Did you punch her in the face?

You can't use logic on a crazy person.

As for never hitting a woman, I happen to think our society's view that a woman hitting a man is either OK at best, or entertaining at worst is something that contributes to the severity of the male's retaliation if/when it occurs. There are women who openly take advantage of this disparity as seen on countless episodes of Judge Joe Brown and Youtube videos of women going nuts at McDonalds.

I recall an episode of Judge Joe when this sleazy guy was actually being assaulted by the two scorned women (makes sense, usually the women end up attacking each other or keying cars and so on) and he proudly said that he "Didn't do nothin" the whole time and finally got away. The crowd and Judge Joe applauded as if this man were the second coming of Gandhi. I'm not saying he should have kicked some arse, but geez, I guess I'm not one to get hit by women so I don't really get the whole rules and regulations of it.

Frankly, the thought "What am I supposed to do if a woman attacks me?" runs through my mind as much as "What am I going to do when my wife walks in on me sleeping with 4 midgets and a mongoose?" it just never crosses my mind. Actually, I think I'd attempt to restrain her and say "Pretty please stop, please please please" and if she is hell-bent on continuing, ehh, I'm not sure what I'd do.

Hell, so many women take kickboxing now she'd probably kick my *** and then get some sort of feminist award or something, ha.

No. Wanted to, but by the time I had my daughter safe, the woman was in handcuffs.

Yea, that was over the top description even if he grabbed her like she said.

Most men do not need to actually strike most women in order to render them incapable of hurting you or a loved one.

Now if I'm dealing with a woman whose sheer size or freakish fighting ability makes restraining them without striking them impossible, I will do whatever I have to in order to protect myself or my family. This is any person's God given right.

The chivalrous notion of not hitting a woman, in my opinion, is based on the idea that if a woman slaps or even punches a guy once or twice, becuz he feels insulted or whatever, he shouldn't retaliate. I agree with that. But if a woman is literally attacking you or a loved one with obvious intent to do serious damage, that krap flies straight out the window cuz it's not the same thing.

[Asmith(DE)]

I'm surprised with so many people blamming his mother in this thread.

Did anyone even read the OP link?

He grabbed his mother by the shirt and hair and hit her with his ball cap.
Forget about the ball cap, maybe you folks are just desensitized due to recent NFL troublemakers, but grabbing someone by the shirt and hair is in and of itself, assault.
Yeah it's not the worst thing you can do, however it's by definition assault, and it's a thousand times worse when it's done to a woman. And another million times worse when that woman is your mother. Crackhead or not.

Disgrace and shameful to everyone here placing blame on her..Pathetic on your parts.

Answer this question, to keep it somewhat football related; Would you want a player on your team who's beat up his own mother? If he'll beat up his own mother, do you think he'll have your back?

Idiots.

When theres smoke theres fire. This kid is a pile of steaming you know what.

In another incident, he is banned from a Mall in Dallas.How stupid and criminal do you have to be to get banned from a Mall.

Theres a reason almost every team took him completely off their draft boards.

You can't condemn people for vilifying her if she was being a villain. I'm not here to act like I was there and I'm immediately blaming her, but if the fact is she swung first and he reacted the way he did, he's not in the wrong. It's a different kind of not wrong, but he'd still be not wrong.

I'm not going to accuse you of being on a high horse, but your painting that picture.

The guy gets paid a lot of money to get hit by men who are MUCH bigger then him. I'm pretty sure he could have retaliated in a much more mature way.

No, he didn't beat her. But even if she swung at him once, how can you condone someone grabbing his own mother and smacking her in the face with his hat? And these are just the facts we've gotten.

Look, I understand we have a right to defend ourselves, but this dude could easily just hold onto her and restrain her if it's that bad. But again, he gets paid to get hit by guys bigger then him. His mother isn't even close to that.

Ton of speculation here and no one has a clue what really happened. Banned from a mall though.....Dude sounds like a dumpster fire. And I'm not sure a dumpster fire makes a sound but that is what he sounds like to me.

[neiser]

when i first heard of this story i was like what a total pos.....now i have doubts about who to believe.....either way dez is a scumbag and should of left his moms house when the %$#@ started to hit the fan.......and who the hell gets banned from a mall?

I'm not saying he didn't react like a knucklehead, but you're right he's tough. He gets hit by bigger guys all the time. He's also more likely to become desensitized to violence since he makes his living off of it.

Better his hat that his fists. He could've pulped her, but instead just went for shocking her into stopping. Again, not defending the guy - this is just speculation on my part. I'm just not going to vilify a guy because of a sensationalist story that's probably blowing things out of proportion.
