Mike Silver of Yahoo! Sports reports that during a pre-draft visit with the Miami Dolphins, Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant was allegedly asked by general manager Jeff Ireland if his mother was a prostitute.

"Last Wednesday, the night before he was selected 24th overall by the Cowboys, former Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant(notes) told me that during one of his predraft visits, a high-level executive of one NFL franchise had asked him if his mother, Angela, was a prostitute.

'No, my mom is not a prostitute,' said Bryant, whose background – including his mother’s lifestyle and past legal troubles – was under great scrutiny prior to the draft. 'I got mad – really mad – but I didn’t show it.'

I’ve since been told by a source close to Bryant that Ireland was the person who asked the question during a meeting in the GM’s office.

On Monday, Ireland declined to comment on the allegation. Harvey Greene, the Dolphins’ senior vice president of media relations, said: 'It’s our organizational policy that we don’t discuss publicly the process we use to evaluate potential draft choices.'"

Silver goes to list more bizarre behavior from the Dolphins and other organizations, but as for what Ireland allegedly asked Bryant, I'll say this: If Ireland did ask that question, Bryant has far more restraint and maturity than he's been given credit for.
