Patrick MichelsIt was just last week I was watching The Science Channel's Build It Bigger. The show details modern construction marvels, and this episode zeroed in on Jonestown Coliseum.
"An engineering marvel that will revolutionize the football experience," the host gloated in detailing Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' meticulous attention to details. "But there's one thing Jones can't control - some of the world's most dangerous weather."
The new stadium - smack dab in the middle of tor
Rich BehmSometimes I have hope for this big ol' rock after all.
With the Dallas Cowboys named as the construction company and the lead engineer denying hands-on involvement, the aftermath of the team's practice facility collapse is eventually going to get ugly. And pricey.
But out of the rubble emerges some sanity, in the form of an outpouring of sympathy and action for paralyzed scouting department assistant Rich Behm.
In light of the tragedy, Spike TV postponed tonight's pr
Jerry McClureIrvin to Rich Behm's family: $40,000For the first time in a long time, the Dallas Cowboys are actually acting like a unified team.
In the wake of the Valley Ranch practice facility collapse on May 2, last night's premiere of Spike TV's new reality series Fourth and Long at Sting matured from a big party into a bigger purpose. The event was delayed a week and turned into a fundraiser for Cowboys' scouting department assistant Rich Behm, paralyzed from the waist down in the tragedy.

*You'll have to savor this offering like a cow with its cud, because this morning I'm headed out to the Byron Nelson to chug margaritas and chase girls in The Pavilion watch golf and conduct research for next week's column in the Observer's print product. Allow me an excused absence?
*First it was Bill Parcells. Now it appears Tony Romo's going to avoid referring to Terrell Owens by name. And
Quick takes from a Wednesday's minicamp workout at Carrollton's Standridge Stadium:
*Tony Romo says the story that appeared in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram about him being told to lose weight is total bullshit. "That never happened," Romo said with a smile. "It just didn't." ...
*From what I could tell, the defense was kicking the offense's ass. Patrick Watkins intercepted Romo's deep pass off a flea-flicker, and rookie Mike Mickens picked off a deflected Jon Kitna pass over the middle ...
Scouting assistant Rich Behm and his view of training camp.10. Sounds to me like Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is leaning against rebuilding the indoor practice facility that collapsed May 2, leaving special teams coach Joe DeCamillis with a broken back, scouting assistant Rich Behm paralyzed from the waist down and director of college scouting Chris Hall with a torn up shoulder and knee. "I don't know," Jones said thoughtfully, slowly. "I don't know if I want to re-build it, honest

*Props to 103.3 FM ESPN Radio's Randy Galloway for landing the first in-depth interview with Texas Rangers' outfielder Josh Hamilton since you know what. And props to Josh for sticking with his faith. "The Lord's been glorified a lot more," Hamilton told Galloway on Wednesday. "Jesus' name has been in the

*Screw me. I've been inside Cowboys Stadium a dozen times now and never noticed there wasn't an American flag hanging somewhere. JumboJerry will do that for you. When during the National Anthem there's a flag "waving" on the world's largest video screen you tend to fixate on it. But I was surprised that the place doesn't have a permanent flag inside, almost as much as I was surprised that owner
