Mother Nature vs. the Cowboys

by Tom Ziller • May 3, 2009 1:35 PM EDT

Watching Jerry Jones follow discussion of the frightening collapse of the Cowboys practice bubble with commentary on how magnificent his new stadium will be during Saturday's Derby coverage was a bit surreal. But not as surreal as this video of said collapse.

Questions about whether the practice facility was designed or constructed poorly have been risen in Dallas. The irony, of course, is that the facility was meant to give the team a safe place to practice in bad weather. Whoops.

Are you kidding me?! These morons put all these people at risk in basically a over sized tent. I
did not realize that they were in almost hurricane speed winds. And
this bubble was basically made of aluminum and canvas. These idiots
are really lucky nobody was killed. And people talk mad stuff about Al
Davis and the Raiders; true, probably a bit crazy, but these Cowboy
exec’s are just plain dangerous stupid! Well, I guess Texas is not
known for it’s population with a high IQ!! What’s next, have them practice
outdoors this time of year with lightning rods attached to their
helmets.

At a certain point do you have to look at the structure surrounding you and say "uh, I think it may be time to find more stable and safe form of shelter!"
