Dez Bryant Endures Worst Job Interview Ever At Hands Of Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland

…on very little evidence. One reporter whose “been told by a source close to Bryant.” Even if it was said, there was absolutely no other evidence of it being said, nor any claim of any other offensive activity. It’s this last part that’s really suspicious. If Ireland’s such a nightmare, why couldn’t the “source close to Bryant” give any other examples?

IF the question was asked, Silver and you assume it was part of some cruel, psychiatric game, without giving any other evidence. Again, the fact that nothing else about Ireland was mentioned argues against that. There is no report of the context, and you’re quite right about it being a provocative question. And I don’t blame Bryant for getting mad, but that "he “didn’t show it” also argues that the context of the question was less malevolent than Silver and you assert.

By the way, your claim that an “entry-level applicant who is considered to be one of the best prospects in the nation being interviewed for a highly paid, high-profile position at, say, an investment-banking firm” would not be asked that question is utterly obtuse. The background questions and investigation one goes through for even an entry-level job in an investment banking firm (or insurance company, brokerage, etc) is far more intrusive than imagine, apparently. I’ve had two colleagues who were stunned to find sealed, juvenile police records presented at their interviews, testimony from people they barely new, etc.
