It would be hard for any employer to handle a job interview any worse than Miami Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland did when he asked Dez Bryant if his mom was a prostitute.
But in issuing an apology to Bryant, Ireland tried to do everything by the book.
That even included strict adherence to the NFL’s tampering rules: According to Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com, Ireland received permission from the Cowboys’ front office to speak with Bryant on Tuesday.
So Ireland may be, as Michael Silver wrote, the “biggest jerk in the history job interviewers” and an “A-List A-hole.” But at least he’s not a violator of the league’s tampering rules.
