Sorry Title should read Josh Brent. Mods please fix. RT @richiewhitt: #Cowboys' players were told just now that practice squad LB Jerry Brown was killed last night in accident involving Josh Brent. Twitter is nuts with this right now.
RT @coachbeckman: Sad news for the Illini #Family today. Jerry Brown, former Illini and current NFL player has passed away. Keep him in your prayers.
Dang. Just like that. Having a good time one minute, in jail the next :-( Really sad for both of them and the families involved.
He was having a breakout season... he was looking like he may take over at the nose tackle position and making ratliff slide to de... Sad sad news, especially being a cowboys fan....
How devastating... another senseless death... 2 thoughts: 1. imho...if you get in a car with someone that has been drinking...its really like taking your own life... 2. Get a taxi, dont be dumb...stop drinking and driving...Imagine if he struck an innocent family driving on the roads...this story couldve been much more tragic...
jail time may be bad. but having to live with knowing you were responsible for something like that your entire life is by far worse.
Makes the punishment decision very difficult. The man has certainly suffered a great deal already. Problem is this isn't the first offense (though nobody was hurt before).
Horrible decision, but also a reminder that when you go out for the night, you need to make smart decisions about what car you get in because I'm sure Brown was as fully aware of the risk he was taking as Brent was aware of the risk he was taking. Honestly, I'm just glad they didn't kill completely innocent bystanders that had nothing to do with it. Watching Dante Stallworth catch a TD yesterday just pissed me off knowing that he killed an innocent person because of his drunken driving. Horrible tragedy all the way around, and drunken driving is an epidemic in this country that needs to be eradicated.
A drunk and a coward it seems.. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-s...d-life-cowboys-linebacker-170937707--nfl.html
Somehow I doubt that the guy had to be coerced to pull his best friend from a car as it was on fire. If I had to bet money, I'm putting it on someone who found a way to get her name in the news.
wow, just wow. Crazy to know that the family is showing such compassion and forgiveness. Josh Brent attends Jerry Brown’s funeral with Brown’s family
