Original: Multiple news outlets are reporting that a Dallas Cowboys player was involved in a fatal crash Saturday morning in Irving. WFAA-TV is reporting that nose tackle Josh Brent has been arrested in the case. Details are limited thus far and Irving police officials have not returned phone calls seeking information.

Jerry Brown, 25, is the person who died. Brown is listed as a linebacker on the team’s practice squad.
Costas will demand we outlaw cars.

You know it’s coming..outlaw booze and cars
Geeze two weeks in a row with dead football players, this season is starting to get a little depressing.
These guys aren’t starters but wow. This is really messed up.
Bob Costas: Call your office.
These guys aren’t starters but wow. This is really messed up.
Costas will blame the American Automotive Manufacturers Association; guarantee, he will find no fault in either the driver or the passenger - if only there hadn’t been cars for them to drive . . .
Another tragedy that could have been avoided. R.I.P. Jerry Brown.
Not sure what the point of that was. Seems kind of stupid and rude to be putting on a thread about somebody getting killed.
sad... how long has at&t been on there???
He was 25 yrs old. What a tragedy.
Sports columnist Mike Lupica, who is a remarkably thoughtful/knowledgeable authority on every other topic as well, will write a column blaming the Tea Party because they opposed federal funding for the building of mass transit as a replacement for cars.
Seriously. Besides, football rules. As a diehard Steelers fan, I can’t wait to go to London next year to root on my team against the Vikes at Wembley. Should be a great show.
BTW, sad to hear of this tragedy.
Costas will demand we outlaw cars.
Dammit you beat me to it!!!
I blame the gun culture.
True, we must wait for Bob Costas to give out more of his “wisdom” to fix all things.
Was the dead man wearing his seat belt?
If not, Costas will blame the NFL for not providing seat belt counseling.
Bottom line for Costas...
Non-white individuals are NEVER responsible for their own reckless or violent behavior.
I blame Big Oil. If John D. Rockefeller hadn't perfected refining, we wouldn't have the gasoline and diesel to fuel internal combustion engines.
At least there were no innocent people killed.
I’m sorry, you are not innocent if you get in a car being driven by a drunk.
We would still have steam powered cars. oh those would have been much safer, when they aren’t exploding
it happened on ‘Cowboys Way’? sad.
How come nobody in the MSM called costas a racist for suggesting that the NFL has a “gun culture”...costas talked about ‘Cowboys “ in the gun culture...but he sure didn’t talk about the ghetto -rapper-Thug culture.ha.
Hey Costas, it IS the culture...the ghetto Thug culture..not the guns. Funny how this isn’t happening to the likes of the Mannings, or Tebow.
Football is dominated by Thugs. And thugs also carry guns.
Women, booze, 2:00 a.m.
Like Colin Cowherd says: “If at least two of the three are involved, nothing good ever happens.”
The driver Josh Brent is from Bloomington-Normal. If I am not mistaken he has a midemeanor DUI while at the University of Illinois.

Get Bob on the scene. Maybe he can find a gun somewhere.
Jason Whitlock will write another thought filled column about how the alcohol industry is the KKK and how they are purposely putting booze in the hands of African Americans so they can kill each other. Tomorrow, Bob Costas will deliver another sermon about the dangers of drink
the key to enjoying all three is to stay the night.
Maybe they will have Elmo doing the halftime show one of these weeks about the dangers of sex with minors. This week, though, I am sure it’ll be bashing of cars and the “NASCAR” culture.
I think the rookies still get the welcome to the NFL classes and they cover all of this.
Each team has a referral program if you need. But you have to step up if your problem is not known by the team.
If he ws charged with manslaughter, he was either driving extremely recklessly or DUI. I have been hit (and hurt) by drivers doing both; I have sympathy for neither.
If Josh Brent didn’t possess a car, Jerry Brown, Jr. would be alive today. [/BOBCOSTAS]
Costas will blame the driver, not the car.....without noticing hlw he contradicts himself. And, he’ll probably get some sort of award.
Go ahead, Bob. Say it. Say it, Bob.
:>)
“He was sentenced to two years probation, 60 days in jail, a fine and 200 years of community service, ESPN reported. He was playing for the University of Illinois at the time, was suspended from the team following his arrest and never played again for the team. “
Why is he playing football if he had to do 200 years of community servic?
I wonder if Whitlock will call AAA the new KKK.
I wonder if people will watch pee wee football when the NFL is closed down? It would sure give Vegas odds makers fits. ;-)
I don't know who Colin Cowherd is, but I'm living proof that he is wrong.
PRICELESS!!!! {^)
I've found pro sports depressing for years due to the players.
Whites invented the automobile, therefore his death has a racist core.
Blacktop is a code word for...........
Rumor had it that the "close friend" was performing a certain act that resulted in a certain appendage being amputated when the accident occurred.
“200 years of community service”
lol... hours.. years... close enough for journalism
stupid people do stupid things
