Coach Jerry Jones??

Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones is at the Kentucky Derby.

Just our luck. :bang2:

A 33-year-old man was impaled by an object and was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas in critical condition, Gonzalez said.

Geez, Does anyone have any names other than Coach D who was hurt?

 

[Cajuncowboy]

Just our luck. :bang2:

That's just in bad taste after what we are dealing with right now.

SERIOUSLY... god I mean it's like..

"that man standing right over there wearing the #9 jersey has a metal bar through his arm right now."

"that's Tony Romo isn't it?"

"no, it's a man."

 

[windward]

I am shocked. Hope everyone's ok.

At 3:27 p.m. the tension structure at the Cowboys' practice facility collapsed under high winds and rain. The police estimate 70 people were inside in the indoor center at the time and 12 people went to the hospital.

I wasn't one of them. Thank goodness for that. Matter of fact, thank DeAngelo Smith and Brandon Williams and Nick Eatman.

As we attempted to get out the door when the structure buckled, we got jammed until the door gave way. I think the door structure fell on me, knocking me to the ground. It then rested on my leg. Unable to move, I yelled for help, unaware what was going on around me.

I could see feet go by and I hoped somebody would attempt to lift it up so I could squeeze through. At first Eatman, one of the staff writer's for the team's Web site, attempted to lift some piece of the door off me. He said Williams pushed him to the side and he and Smith were able to get whatever was on me off.

I rolled on to my back and crawled out as the rain - and I think hail - pounded us all. As I got up, I saw the structure I've been in hundreds of times down and started to make my way to the facility.

It all lasted 20-25 seconds but it seemed longer.

Your jokes and negativity are getting old, is nothing off limits to you. You might be the only one to find yourself funny. I think the majority here would just appreciate if you kept your mouth shut for a while.

I agree.

I was glad to hear that no one was killed and that everyone should be ok. Very scary situation, without a doubt, and the video they showed on NFL Network was pretty scary.

I saw the NFLN footage too. By Dat Nguyen's reaction, I could tell that people were trapped and screaming for help. Some of the rookies looked scared to death and understandably so. I thank God that everyone will be OK. It is quite a blessing.

Just reported by Steve Dennis on Ch 21, that Rich Beam of the scouting dept. is in surgery for a fractured vertabra.

 

[Bach]

You guys take yourselves way too seriously. BTW, where's your outrage to the "RIP Rowdy" post on page one?

 

[CowboyManDan]

Please, let everyone be ok and come out of this fine.

Jerry will do anything for publicity, even ordering the destruction of the indoor practice facility while he is at the Kentucky Derby so he can get air time.

psst.

Just a heads up, but apparently this isn't a time for joking. Don't want these overly sensitive posters to jump your case.
