Re: Accident at Cowboys practice facility

Yeah, Cowboys' Special Team Coach, Joe DeCamillis has a broken vertabrae. The doctors said that he is lucky that he isn't paralyzed. As much as I hate Dallas, this is pretty sad and hope that everyone will be okay.

I was thinking the same thing. Strange, given Jerruh Jones' propensity to spend.

Apparently the place shakes all the time in the wind. I guess the winds hit 64mph today. Not exactly timid, but not hurricane force either. Those air bubbles air pretty flimsy. They are basically held up by scaffolding.

I don't think there's anything wrong with teams practicing inside structures like this, but I guess it's imperative that they have someone closely following the local weather radar.

Yeah the article says it was built in 2003 when Parcells was there. Just seems like a temporary type building to me. Kinda strange.

Glad to hear he is not paralyzed. As much as I hate the Cowpukes I would never wish them on any team.
