    What kind of person hits his mom? Damn, as the Intruders always said "I'll Always Love My Mama."

    If that is indeed the case, then there's no defense for that.

    I know this is impetinent and taboo to bring up, but remember the last time his mom was in the news? According to Dez, the Dolphins GM suggested the mom was a prostitute; according to the Dolphins' version, Dez said dad was a pimp and mom worked for dad.

    Of course there is no excuse for hitting a woman. But these are exactly the issues that were the sole reason such a talent lasted until the 24th pick.

    Dez is 23 and his mom is 37.

    Forgot about his family history. From what I read the fight was between Dez and his step-brother and his mother got involved somehow. 911 tape is out there as well, haven't listened to that.

    Here's the transcription of the 911 call, courtesy of DMN. The audio is linked to the story, too.

    Quite the traditional family upbringing for Mr. Bryant...
