According to ESPN Dallas, during the draft process Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland asked Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant if his mother was a prostitute.

Bryant told Yahoo Sports! of his interview.

โ€œThey asked me if my momโ€™s a prostitute,โ€ Bryant told Yahoo's Michael Silver. "No, my mom is not a prostitute. I got mad โ€“ really mad โ€“ but I didnโ€™t show it. I got a lot of questions like that: Does she still do drugs? I sat and answered all of them.โ€

Jeff Ireland responded to Bryant's comments through the team.

โ€œMy job is to find out as much information as possible about a player that Iโ€™m consider drafting,โ€ Ireland said. โ€œSometimes that leads to asking in-depth questions

โ€œHaving said that, I talked to Dez Bryant and told him I used poor judgment in one of the questions I asked him. I certainly meant no disrespect and apologized to him.

โ€œI appreciate his acceptance of that apology and I told him I wished him well as he embarks on his NFL career.โ€
What do you think? Are Ireland's comments out of line, or should they be part of the draft process?
