Yeah his mom was young when she had him then she went to jail and he lived with his pimp dad.
Everyone handles that shit different theebs you can't just cast a net and say because Witten handles it this way why can't everyone? Situations, people, aren't the same.
my argument was that once he is older he can change.
and secondly i never discounted dez's life...I am simply saying kids formidable years are like 4-8 or in that neighborhood.....and both of them had abuse and dysfunction...rating the level of it is silly and trivial.
and finally, dez should have taken to witten right away and maybe it could have helped....wittens foundation is entirely based on helping kids exactly like dez. Why he wouldnt take to witten is beyond me.
and finally its apparent from drew pearson saying it yesterday that dez doesnt listen to anyone, pearson, irvin and even sanders have tried to mentor him and he blows them off and wont listen.....woodson said it this morning on the radio, he will not accept help.
so basically I am tired of having to root for these kinds of guys, i am tired of all of our cowboys discussions for the past 6 years or so being about guys just like this getting into trouble like they always do.....
I just want guys like this gone for good, dont take chances on them and stop enabling them and making excuses. Dez needs to get his life in order but at the same time the organization props him up like he is a rock star....almost impossible situation.
my wife grew up in a foster home from the time she was 13 because her parents were losers, she was staying home from school to take care of her 1 year old sister and 4 brothers.......her parents didnt use drugs but did drink and were never around. her grandparents and aunts and uncles did not help the kids at all....she was on her own until the police showed up one day and took them all away...........and my wife still talks to her parents and tries to help them out for which I have no idea why.....so I can undersand how it is impossible for dez to seperate himself from his mom, I know that will never happen....but he needs to grow up and make changes.........
and yes I have jumped a police car on a motorcycle.
