Thoughts and Prayers Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys

I send my deepest condolences to the family of the Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Jerry Brown who was killed in a car accident on the morning of December 8, 2012. Brown was in the passenger seat of Josh Brent’s car who was a friend and teammate. Brent and Brown went out to a night club the evening of December 7, 2012 and upon leaving the club and heading to an undisclosed location Brent crashed his car and after it flipped a few times it caught on fire. Brent later pulled Brown from the car, but once he was rushed to the hospital he was pronounced dead. This is devastating news to not only the friends and family of Jerry Brown, but also to all the fans of Cowboy nation. Brent was arrested and is currently facing charges of vehicular manslaughter. Drinking and driving is always an unsafe and selfish choice, its sad that after several deaths and tragedies people still choose to drink and drive. Two young and talented men’s careers have ended based off a night of irresponsible fun. My thoughts and prayers not only go out to Jerry Browns family and friends, but also to Josh Brent who faces a life in prison and the guilt of being the reason behind the death of a friend.
