#41Not sure...And not sure why you guys assume she is lying. Despite what many may think, you spend a lifetime making sh*tty/selfish decisions, guess what just might happen in the heat(NPI) of the moment? Even if it is a friend. You are going to take care of you.
Curious that a board of gamblers are defensive about this. Still, y'all might be very right in not believing her.
And not saying this is Josh at all and I sure hope she does not ulterior motives here, but would be very sad.Comment -

#48Boys... forget that bullshit hogwash story and read this one:
The family and friends of former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Jerry Brown had stayed out of the public eye for the most part since the Saturday morning car accident that took Brown's life and put the driver, Cowboys defensive lineman Josh … Continue reading →
They were best friends and college teammates with Jerry living at Josh's house for free. If there is any truth to the story in the original post, then Josh was definitely traumatized and/or in shock. He would never leave his friend to die like that.Comment -

#52NFL players among the dumbest. They have a ride program set up through the Union that allows them rides ALL YEAR for free. The service doesn't even report when they pick the guys up, so they would not even get busted if they violated curfew,etc. Just poor decision making.Comment -

#53It's totally plausible that Brent was in shock and incapable of making a sound decision at that moment. I'm a Firefighter/EMT and was the first on scene off-duty to a flipped car whose driver was still buckled in and upside down. He was struggling to get out and the car had a small fire going. His passenger was standing not 2oft from the car doing nothing to help his buddy. Once I got the driver out and both men safely away from the car it was CLEAR that both were in shock even though both had only minor injuries. Shock isn't always that 1,000 yard stare where people are unable to speak. Even if what this lady is saying is true, it wouldn't be any reason to demonize the guy, particularly if he was in shock which is quite likely.Comment -

#59Josh Brent's alcohol level was .18
- Dallas Cowboys lineman Josh Brent, the player charged with intoxication manslaughter in the one-car accident that killed his teammate Jerry Brown, had a blood alcohol level of more than twice the legal limit at the time of the crash, according to a report.
Brent's blood alcohol limit was 0.18, the Dallas Morning News reported Thursday, citing an unnamed law enforcement source involved in the investigation.
Asked about the report Thursday, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said the team would continue to support Brent.
"I don't want to get into specifics of that situation. There's going to be a lot of details to come out about what exactly happened and I don't think it's appropriate for me to stand up here and address all of the different things," he said. "Again, we'll continue to support Josh -- Josh is a member of our family -- in every way that we can and at the same time try to help other people who are in a similar kind of situation."
Brent, 24, was free on $500,000 bond Thursday. According to the Dallas Morning News, a spokesman for the Irving Police Department said Wednesday that investigators could present evidence as early as Thursday to the Dallas County district attorney's office.
Another Irving police spokesman, John Argumaniz, said officers conducted a field-sobriety test on the 321-pound Brent after the accident.
Brent was placed on the reserve non-football injury list on Wednesday. With that, the club has the option of deciding whether or not to pay the player the remaining balance of his salary.
Brent has two years remaining on his contract and he's making a base salary of $540,000 this season. Brent has three more paychecks coming his way.
"That's something between us and the team and something we'll discuss with Josh as we move forward," Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on KTCK-AM on Wednesday night.
Police in suburban Irving say Brent was speeding early Saturday when his vehicle struck a curb and flipped. Brown was taken to a Dallas hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Dallas County medical examiner said he died after suffering blunt force trauma to his head and neck.
Officers who arrived at the accident scene found Brent pulling Brown from the wreck, according to an arrest affidavit. However, a woman who arrived moments after the accident said she urged Brent to pull Brown from the car but says he did not initially respond to her.
Stacee McWilliams, a 40-year-old insurance company employee, told the Dallas Morning News she was on her way home from her birthday party when she noticed the wreck and stopped. She told the newspaper Monday she could no longer talk about the case on the instruction of Irving police, and she did not respond to a message from The Associated Press seeking an interview Tuesday.
Brent's attorney, George Milner, told the AP that an investigating officer told him the woman's story didn't match the circumstances surrounding Brown's death.
Brent and Brown were teammates at Illinois, and Brown was rooming with Brent while he tried to make the Cowboys' active roster.
A club where Brent and Brown reportedly spent at least part of Friday evening, Privae Dallas, has issued a statement saying it is "deeply saddened by the events of the weekend" and that it is cooperating with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission and police.
"Privae Dallas is a club that offers its guests a special level of privacy and often caters to celebrities," according to the statement, attributed to the club's human resources manager. "The safety of our guests is very important to us, and our staff is trained to follow the regulations set forth by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission."
Comedian Shawn Wayans was at the club Friday night, and a club promoter tweeted that a dozen unnamed Cowboys players were there, ordering numerous bottles of a popular champagne. In Texas, the sale of alcohol with criminal negligence to an intoxicated person is a misdemeanor punishable with a fine of up to $500 and up to a year in jail.
The TABC, which enforces the state's liquor laws, also can suspend or cancel the license of an establishment found to have served an intoxicated customer.
TABC spokeswoman Carolyn Beck said the agency is investigating the accident, as it does all alcohol-related fatalities that come to its attention. She said the agency has been told the players were drinking at more than one location, but she declined to be specific.

#64sad that there is more hostility toward a woman that may or may not be telling the truth (but stopped at the scene of an accident to help) than the person responsible for the death of another human being.Comment -

#66Cops could have told her to keep mouth shut for numerous reasons
I just don't get why she ran to a newspaper? If she told the police on scene or at the station wouldn't they have told her then to refrain from discussing the case to the media since it is still under investigation?
Since she would then become a witness she could then be charged with interfering with a police investigationComment -
