In related news, Brown was said to already be considering using,, "My quarterbacks were thinking about that horrible tragedy at the training facility, and the winds swirling around there, and that's why their passes were all over the place today," as his excuse for losing the 2009 RRS.

I guess it depends on your definition of serious. CNN reported that two guy were in the upper part of the ceiling with video cameras and rode the ceiling down to the floor.


DeCamillis, hired by the Cowboys a few months ago, likely will need surgery to fix "a couple of broken vertebrae" in his lower back but is expected to recover, said his father-in-law, Dan Reeves, a longtime NFL coach.


Those with more serious injuries included a person with a head injury, one with an open fracture below the knee and someone who was impaled with metal, said Tommy Gonzalez, Irving's city manager.

I hear a Cowboys scout had his spinal cord severed and will never walk again. why the hell were they in there while a tornado was hitting? Don't they have a Mike Morgan/Gary England dude down there?

Seems one of their assistant coaches has been permanently paralyzed, blessings to him and his family.

It was apparently a micro burst. I'm betting they had been in there when it stormed before. They were all at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I hope the rest of the injured get well soon.

Prayers for the paralyzed Coach and his Family.

I posted that before I knew about the two spinal injury victims. Silver lining I guess is no one died as far as I know... having family who barely survived the OKC storms back in 1999, I can say no one knows the relief of just seeing them again.
