Since when is "Is your mom a prostitute?" an "in-depth" question!?

Since the league has started suspending players for violations of the personal conduct policy, even without any actual crimes committed, and since the rumors were that his mother was heavily involved in drugs, prostitution and gangs, it seems like a worthwhile angle to explore when you're potentially investing millions in the kid actually staying on the field and productive.
The question certainly lacked grace/tact/whatever, but quite a few of the "personal interviews" have a component built-in to ask pointed or borderline questions to see how the dude reacts to criticism or outright antagonism, and personality/response to these is useful to explore.
