irish Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 This is the 2nd time in 6 months that Bryant has had a run in with the law. Back in January, he was involved in an altercation outside a Miami nightclub and was detained by police, but not arrested. Bryant has been named in multiple lawsuits regarding unpaid debts. He was also kicked out of NorthPark Center and temporarily banned last summer for inappropriate attire. This was writeup that accompanied the report. More to come...

DMD Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I have trouble seeing Bryant ever reaching his supposed potential because the guy just cannot take the next step without tripping himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. He just lacks so much maturity and I fear his true superstar talent will never be seen and will be wasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddahj Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I have trouble seeing Bryant ever reaching his supposed potential because the guy just cannot take the next step without tripping himself. +1 It just amazes me how immature he is. IMO, most people that are handed everything & don't have to really work for success never seem to amount to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Any hope of him being a superstar has basically fizzled out. my prediction. on another team in two years, out of the league in 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Agreed. He just lacks so much maturity and I fear his true superstar talent will never be seen and will be wasted. Jerry Jones thinks just the opposite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papajohn Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Jerry Jones thinks just the opposite. That was what I was going to say. Jerry is still going to pay him in his next contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffraff Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 His mom told him to quit acting like a 14 year old and pick up his saggy pants... so he pushed her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Wait, the domestic violence was for roughing up his mother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffraff Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Apparently pulled her hair and smacked her in the face with his ball cap. Swelling ensued and a call to the police. Wonder if she went back on the crack? Edited July 17, 2012 by Riffraff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lennykravitz2004 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 CBS Sports' story. When news of Dez Bryant's arrest on a misdemeanor domestic abuse charge broke Monday night, one TV station quoted Bryant as saying, “I'm good, I'm good,” when he was reached on the phone. News emerged Tuesday morning that Bryant had some kind of pushing incident with his mother, but the latest report is darker than what was originally thought. According to the Fort Worth Star Telegram , Bryant's mother could be heard on the 911 call telling somebody else in the room that her son “tried to kill me.” Angela D. Bryant told police, via the Star Telegram, that theCowboys receiver “hit her across the face with a ball cap, pulled her hair, tore her shirt and bra, and repeatedly struck her hands and wrists when she tried to push him away.” The 37-year-old Angela Bryant then reportedly told somebody in the room, “Babe, I can't keep letting him do this. ... I can't let him do me like this. I'm tired. I'm going to put an end to it today.” Police didn't immediately arrest Dez Bryant on Saturday because there was no evidence of an assault, but two days later, after police issued a warrant for his arrest, he turned himself in before immediately posting bond. Angela Bryant told the 911 operator after the incident that nobody had been drinking or using drugs. When the operator asked if anybody was armed, she said, “Not yet,” but noted that her son tried to hit her with a ball. According to the police report, Angela Bryant complained of pain in her wrists, hands, arms and chest. She apparently had swelling around her wrists and left thumb and bruising on her upper arms. “It's pretty straightforward,” DeSoto, Tx., police captain Ron Smith said during a Tuesday news conference. “He and his mom got in an argument. It's physical. She got some injuries. We made the arrest … “Whatever led to it is really not an issue for us. We have an injured person. We have a suspect. We're going to move forward.” The domestic violence charge is a Class A misdemeanor that could result in a fine of up to $4,000 and a year in jail.

stevegrab Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Nobody's talking about this part, from the original TMZ link posted (yeah I know, you gotta consider the source) "According to ESPNDallas.com, Bryant had gotten into an argument with his half-brother on Saturday night and ended up pushing his mother, Angela." Seems like another dysfunctional family. The siblings (half) get in a fight, mom steps in trying to break it up, one of the kids doesn't approve and takes it out on her. Really sad that anybody could consider striking their own mother. You've got to love his comment when asked, "I'm good". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJV Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Heard on ESPN that while Dez was at Oklahoma State, many of the coaches felt that his mom was an "ongoing concern" throughout his time there. Apparently she moved from Texas to Oklahoma and would be around the school and practices all the time. It was clear that they felt she was a bad influence and this was probably the biggest reason Dez fell in the draft. All those questions that Ireland was asking about his mom during the draft process were legitimate concerns for all teams. Clearly she's latching onto him if she's just following him around, I wouldn't be surprised if their altercation had something to do with money. I wonder if we'll get more details about the incident.

This ... maybe he can now figure out how to deal with those 'hangers on'. He has always had a posse around him. He needs to figure out what is best for him and dump some of these clowns.

General Itals Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Have a friend in the Cowboys organization. He's very low level and this is through the grapevine. Dez's mm had him while she was 14-15 years old. She is a known drug addict. She has over 17 arrests. The word is that she has been living with Dez and he was supporting her. She brought drugs into his house and that is how the fight started. He asked her to leave, she wouldn't, and things escalated. No excuses for him.

Kris N Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 maybe the real story will be relayed to Goodell if that is the true story and Dez can avoid a big suspension and maybe only get a game.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
