"No injuries reported at Cowboys' facility Comment Email Print Share Associated Press IRVING, Texas -- An air-supported practice bubble that covers a practice at the Dallas Cowboys' facility collapsed during a strong thunderstorm on Saturday. There were no reports of injuries. An ambulance was seen arriving at the scene. Emergency medical technicians were seen entering portions of the bubble that were still standing. Irving fire-rescue officials ordered all reporters and team personnel away from the immediate area. "

Doesn't sound serious...

bob costas just updated during the kentucky derby broadcast, and there are now 4 injuries. no players or media were injured. it was team staffers who were injured. i'm gonna go with bob costas' report here since he is talking face to face with jerry jones. and jerry got the news right before he was going on camera with bob, so bob got the news at the same time.

"As the team went through drills and practices, the wind was so intense that the lights from high above began to sway violently for about two minutes. Outside, a portable toilet was blown down and effectively blocked one of the exit doors."

seriously?! these are nfl players we're talking about right? they were thwarted by a fucking porta-potty! their season outlook doesn't look too good.

What exactly do you call this "weather formation"?



[Edited on May 3, 2009 at 2:04 PM. Reason : Looks like a stormcloud volcano.]

5/3/2009 2:04:08 PM

looks like a confused tornado

5/3/2009 5:49:01 PM

That's a downburst. Strong winds rushing towards the ground and spreading out.

5/3/2009 11:21:49 PM

^ i find your knowledge of storms strangely attractive

5/3/2009 11:41:17 PM

"storm bone"

5/3/2009 11:46:03 PM

Okay, but why does the wind look like a cloud?

5/4/2009 12:24:37 AM

one of their scouting assistants was paralyzed from the waist down...damn

5/4/2009 12:37:21 AM

^^It's bringing heavy rain down with it from higher levels

5/4/2009 1:59:43 AM

OIC

5/4/2009 2:35:18 AM

Or should I say, the heavy rain is a cause for the higher winds. Take it how you like

5/4/2009 2:47:25 AM

Im just happy the trailer parks their fans live in are OK

5/4/2009 11:51:18 AM

Read that a Scouting Assistant is paralyzed from the waist down.

5/4/2009 2:15:20 PM

Paralyzed waist down now ya wheel chair bound

5/4/2009 2:19:16 PM

i'm a noob, just saw dweedle's post

5/4/2009 3:34:41 PM

that really sucks, but the bright side is that jerry jones will be paying him nicely for the rest of his life, and free vip access for life to cowboys games. fair trade?... hell no, but better situation than most other paraplegics.

5/4/2009 6:40:24 PM

No, it still totally sucks for the victim. It just sucks even worse because it'll be VIP access to the Cowboys.

5/4/2009 6:46:19 PM

dallas cowboys cheerleaders, dallas is a party town, dallas is a party team. better than vip access to panthers games, where you get delhomme, bojangles, and losing. i'd much rather have titties and drugs.
