Cowboys Tragedy, A Cowboys tragedy unfolded around 2:20 a.m. Saturday morning as a car driven by Josh Brent of the Dallas NFL team crashed and killed his teammate, Jerry Brown -- who was riding in the passenger seat. According to a Dec. 8 Star-Telegram report, Brent issued a statement.
"I am devastated and filled with grief. Filled with grief for the loss of my close friend and team mate, Jerry Brown. I am also grief-stricken for his family, friends and all who were blessed enough to have known him. I will live with this horrific and tragic loss every day for the rest of my life. My prayers are with his family, our teammates and his friends at this time."
The Dallas Cowboys tragedy comes just one week after Jovan Belcher of the Kansas City Chiefs killed his girlfriend then himself.
Brent was driving on a Dallas highway while intoxicated, hit a curb, and flipped the car over. Police say the Cowboys nose tackle was trying to remove Brown from the Mercedes he was driving as they arrived on the scene. Brown was pronounced dead at the hospital. Brent failed the field sobriety test and after having blood drawn, is charged vehicular manslaughter.
In 2009 Josh Brent was charged with driving with a suspended license and speeding while near a campus in Illinois. He was also driving under the influence.
This Cowboys tragedy certainly brings grief to Jerry Brown's family, friends, fans, and the NFL world today.
