Asking a player if his mother is a whore?� No big deal, according to NFL Interview Coach Ken Herock:

The former NFL personnel director grooms them to be ready for anything because no subject is off the table — not even questions about whether your mother is a hooker.

“I don’t feel there are any topics off-limits,” Herock said Thursday afternoon. “If anybody thinks they’re off-limits, put yourself in the eyes of an employer that’s going to hire a 21-year-old and pay him $15 million or $20 million.”

Herock finds nary a problem with the controversial question Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland posed to Oklahoma State receiver Dez Bryant in a pre-draft interview.

Herock actually brings up a pretty good and interesting point – if a kid is essentially interviewing for a job and is set to make millions, his employer should be able to ask pretty much anything.� Of course, he should have a reason for asking, not just feeling the kid out.� All hell would break loose otherwise.

“Hey, Colt McCoy, before we talk about blitzes, I want to ask you something.� Would you rather blow four guys in front of your father or eat a log of Prince Fielder’s shit every day for ten years?� You have to answer and you can’t say neither or you’d kill youself.� Go.”
