    That's a wildly inappropriate headline. Off the top of my head, I can think of about 10 headlines that would be better without explicitly saying "crack addict." I saw that and thought it was either from The Onion or a blog.

    Wow. Just terrible.

    They still writing story's about Dez Bryant's mama?

    No, because they would have referred to her more specifically as a "crack whore."
