Wow, the ignorance.

Dez Bryant has never punched his mother. You are 100% wrong in that statement. I don't know where you're getting that from.

How can you guys not understand this? He's done with that. That was in the past. He made a mistake years ago, and it's behind him now.

Dez was born to a 14 year old mother who was arrested for dealing cocaine when he was 8. He then went on to live in 8 different homes throughout his high school years.

Did this kid have the best influences around him?

he jewelry debts, the "pants incident" at a mall, the problems with his family and his mother, (he hit her with a hat, he DID NOT punch her), that let to a brief charge of domestic violence. The Cowboys used Calvin Hill and other mentors to help Dez get his path straightened out.

Remember back to the epic sideline rant last season during the Cowboys-Lions game when everybody accused Dez of having a meltdown on the sidelines? The media started wagging their fingers at Dez, calling him out for bad behavior. The audio of some of that was released later and it showed that Dez was actually being positive. He was being a leader.

He is now the face and leader of this team. His emotional, fiery attitude and passion for the game has done nothing but good, especially for our team, which is amongst the youngest in the NFL.

So there.

And please, if you choose to respond, respond with something that has some sort of merit. No "he's a punk" replies, because I've put that to bed multiple times since joining this forum.
