Beerball Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) Rain, hail, wind you name it today. The roof on the Cowboy's practice bubble has collapsed and reports that several are 'trapped' inside. This took place during a rookie practice. I'll link when one is available. Hate the C-boys, but hope all are ok. Update... Team reports all team personnel...players & coaches are accounted for. At least 1 player taken out on a stretcher. Others may be trapped inside. Edited May 2, 2009 by Beerball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The death was a result of Swine Flu Adam, you're on a real streak now. But not a good one. You accuse one person of being someone else (another troll) and now you joke about someone's death? Your little Reggie Corner joke a couple months back (posting false rumors) wasn't funny either. Please grow up and/or go back to comedy school.

Steely Dan Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Link At least two of those hospitalized were in serious condition, said Dr. Paul Pepe, chairman of the emergency department at Parkland Memorial Hospital. None of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening, he said. Cowboys special teams coach Joe DeCamillis suffered broken vertebrae in his back, according to his father-in-law, one-time NFL coach Dan Reeves. Reached by phone Saturday night, Reeves said DeCamillis was undergoing an MRI and a CT scan, along with further tests. "It's just lucky and fortunate and a miracle really he's not paralyzed," Reeves said. It sounds like those who were hit were pretty lucky to sustain any life changing injuries. I can't wait to see how the Philly fans treat the Cowboys when they go to Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry has a brand new multi million dollar stadium, you would think they would have a better practice facility than a tent? Try billion dollar stadium - the practice facility is about 20 -25 minutes away from the stadium not in the immediate area like the Bills fieldhouse. For what it is worth friends of ours lost their house to a tornado (different storm system earlier in the year) about 8-10 miles due west of the Cowboys practice facility.

Golden Wheels Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 The news gets even worse. A Dallas Cowboys scouting assistant was permanently paralyzed from the waist down after his spine was severed during the collapse of the team's tent-like practice structure in a severe storm. The team announced Rich Behm was in stable condition at Parkland Hospital on Sunday after surgery to stabilize a fracture to the thoracic spine. The 33-year-old Behm was among a dozen people hurt in the accident Saturday, and was one of three Cowboys staffers who remained hospitalized. Joe DeCamillis, 43, the team's new special teams coach, sustained a fracture of one of his cervical vertebrae without paralysis. He was in stable condition at Parkland and scheduled for surgery Monday. Assistant athletic trainer Greg Gaither, 35, had surgery Saturday night to repair a fracture to the tibia and fibula in his right leg. He is expected to be released from the Baylor Regional Medical Center later this week. espn.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
