Spent the better part of today outside the Cowboys' Valley Ranch compound, where for the second straight day members of the media were not allowed on the grounds.

Today marked the first time most veteran players got to see firsthand the damage caused by Saturday's microburst. Their reaction? Hard to say, since every player _ including Tony Romo, Felix Jones, Jason Witten and Patrick Watkins _ drove out of the facility without speaking to the media.

Meanwhile, two news helicopters hovered overhead, satellite trucks assembled along the facility's back fence and woodchippers chopped stacks of tree limbs that were severed by Saturday's storm.

Throughout the day, groups of men, some in suits, others wearing hardhats and some carrying clipboards, surveyed the collapsed structure that for six years protected the Cowboys from the elements.

As I said in another thread, nothing quite like having a camera shoved in your face wanting to know your reaction to a tragedy.

Geesh, for the life of me I can't figure what their "reaction" might be... What a mystery.

I'm glad everyone is leaving without talking to the media. I hope they keep it up.
