Dear Mr. (Jerry) Jones, and all Cowboys Employees and Family,

Though I may be a Redskins fan I truly hope that those injured at the collapse today are in stable condition and will recover quickly. I'm praying that all injuries are minor and no one is seriously injured or hurt.

from the AP

IRVING, Texas (AP) - Dallas Cowboys special teams coach Joe DeCamillis was among at least five people injured when the roof of the team's indoor practice facility collapsed in a storm during a rookie minicamp on Saturday.

Cowboys spokesman Rich Dalrymple said four team support staff members were injured and all of the players and coaches were accounted for. He didn't know the extent of the injuries to the four, who he said were hospitalized.


Here's hoping that the injuries were minor. Its fun to rag on Cowboy fans and players but this is serious.

I Don't speak for the Cowboys organization but it is always nice to see people giving kind words in a time like this.

I have seen on Eagle and Giant boards where they have laughed at the situation.

God bless.

Hoping for the best for all involved. The Grand Rivalry is one thing but this kind of real life situation deserves compassion. From the looks of it they may have been lucky that there were not more serious injuries.

[Hawk Finn]

Such grave situations transcend any athletic "rivalry". My thoughts and prayers are with those directly affected by this unfortunate turn of events.

hmmm, i originally rolled my eyes when I heard this and thought it was "just a bubble".

THen when you see this video and realize that it is large lights coming down and large steel supports....its pretty scary.

Thankfully, it appears all involved are going to be ok. A couple of injuries were more serious, but they should be ok.

It's times like these we should be hoping and praying for our neighbors regardless of affiliations! God bless and keep you folks safe!

[Burgundy&Gold4Ever]

Dear All Cowboy Players, Staff, and their Family and Friends,

It is times like these when you put rivalries aside and focus on the human beings involved in a horrible situation. Today this Redskin fan is pulling for the Cowboy players and staff who were at the practice facility. May everyone's injuries be only minor, and I pray that everyone has a full recovery soon.

Best wishes,
Lisa in Maryland

This is real life. May all of the injured heal quickly, and may their families be comforted.

Sincerely,

I'm glad everybody seems like they made it out ok. Never wish ill on any man, whether they be friend of foe.

Are you going to print this out and mail it ?

[Sndman8369]

Hope all are going to be ok, never like to see that. Rivalry's are fun, but this is serious. God bless and best wishes.

[MTechnik]

Hope everyone injured recovers quickly, and only has post-traumatic flashbacks during redskin games.

[RammsteinSkins]

Great to see the board is responding well to this.

Best wishes to the staff members and all injured and hope for a fast recovery.

[Oldskool]

May the good Lord be with all of those injured and their families during their recovery. Thank G-D that no one is in a life threatening condition.

[SkinsTerps26]

this would be so funny if people didn't get hurt. hope they all get better

[SkinsTerps26]

May the good Lord be with all of those injured and their families during their recovery. Thank G-D that no one is in a life threatening condition.

um, wouldn't the lord have sent this kind of wrath? i mean that's how believing in the all mighty works right? he caused this for a reason? why ask him for recovery? sorry i just don't get it

That is more of a discussion for the tailgate. Let's not have that type of discussion in a thread like this... :doh:

[CM916]

Get well soon to all those injured.

[smoothvirus]

We love to goof on your team, but being a decent human being and respecting the sport comes first.

Best wishes and a speedy recovery to those that were injured. Thank goodness nobody was killed.

God bless.

With the news of DeCammilas suffering a broken back, it isn't funny, at least on Giants boards any longer. More specifically, bigblueinteractive.

[robotfire]

I've always felt like the "hate" we have for the Cowboys is just for fun. The rivalry only goes as far as the field, and in fact I have Cowboy friends who I enjoy joking with. I'm sorry to hear about this situation, and I hope everybody has a speedy recovery.

[dockeryfan]

Here's the video of the collapse.

I guess 12 people injured is the total. Pretty scary I'm sure.

[BKSkinsFan]

During gametime, it does feel like a deep hatred for Cowboy fans, but just as we saw when ST passed (Cowboy fans and players were very sympathetic), we're all for the most part good people who just love our team and want to win. We may enjoy arguing and ragging on other fans, but when it comes down to it, times like this make you realize it's just football. I'm glad to see none of the injuries were serious, and I hope that all involved have a speedy recovery.

Best wishes to EVERYBODY in the disaster area, Cowboys staff and members, and all other non-residents and residents in the area.

[bubba9497]

From Mosley's recent blog, it was amazing no one was killed

everyone is in our thoughts and prayers, hope for a speedy recovery

[Redskinizzle]

Are you going to print this out and mail it ?

Hmmm, good idea ... if there's a good number of responses I might just do that!

[Laxpunk2006]

I hope for a speedy recovery for all of those injured and involved. I was happy to hear there were no fatalities and I hope all injuries can be healed.

[Old Dominion Monarch 06]

Really though, our football season just wouldn't be the same without the Dallas Cowboys.. so as a loyal Skin you have to appreciate them on one level or another. It's a shame and very scary watching that footage. I wish for a speedy recovery to all that were injured in this unfortunate turn of events.

[Mad Mike]

The rivalry goes out the window for something like this. My best wishes to the players, coaches, families and fans.

[SkinsTerps26]

so tragic, i feel for him and his family.

[Morneblade]

Rich Behm, a scout was paralyzed from the waist down from the incident. I wish him and his family the very best as he recovers and copes with such a terrible happenstance. I wish the others involved a speedy recovery from any injuries they may have substained. As bad as this was, it could have been much, much worse. People could have very easily been killed.

There is a time for football and there is a time for much more important things. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people involved, especially Rich Behm and his family.

[Gracelander]

Best wishes to the injured & the rest of the cowboys family who have been affected by this.

[vicrodjr]

Wishing nothing but speedy recovery to those injured. I remember it was the Cowboys who were the first team to seek permission to wear the '21' patch for us!! God bless.

[turbodiesel#44]

Best wishes to all those hurt, and a speedy recovery. Glad no one was killed.

[pjfootballer]

I'll add my best wishes to this thread.

[sideshow24]

Best wishes to all affected by this.

[REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE]

They have my prayers. When that stuff went down with Sean Taylor, tons of Dallas fans showed us love and support.

[Redskinizzle]

Thanks to all the kind people who have responded so far.

[Kosher Ham]

One of those situations where being a fan of a team is not so important where jokes are needed at all.

Best wishes to all of the Cowboys family that is dealing with this.
