In the case of Bryant's question, I don't believe that had very much (if anything) to do with the question.

The PR excuse also falls on deaf ears here. When is the last time a players mother/father/brother/sister caused an NFL team to lose revenue? Am I missing a case where that has happened?

Be tone deaf if you like, that's up to you. But if I'm about to pay a guy millions & there's "his mom is a crack whore" negative publicity coming down the pike about it, then I want to know beforehand. Did you see the article I linked earlier this week about Demaryius Thomas & his background (mom & grandmother both in federal prison for drug crimes)? Smart players and/or smart teams get ahead of stories, not wait to be surprised by them.
