    Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent, who is currently on the team’s reserve/non-football illness list after the series of events that have come over the past week involving a car accident that killed Brent’s teammate Jerry Green, Jr., was on the sidelines for today’s game between the Cowboys and the Steelers in Arlington.

    Brent’s right hand was bandaged. He had Jerry Brown’s No. 53 jersey draped over his left shoulder for the moment of silence and National Anthem.

    During the CBS halftime show, both Boomer Esiason and Bill Cowher were very vocal against the move to have Brent on the sideline. Esiason labeled it as “disgracefulâ€￾ and said the Cowboys were sending the wrong message.

    This doesn't bother me at all. This guy shouldn't be hated. If anyone in here says they have never drove intoxicated they are probably full of crap,

    It sure bothered the CBS guys doing the game.

    I've never given a heck what Phil Simms and Jim Nantz think, and I won't start now.

    I've never driven drunk. Honestly I've never even been completely drunk.

    With that out of the way, when I saw him on the sideline I did get a little twinge in my stomach telling me I didn't like it.

    I don't see a problem with it. And no one would have known if the production crew didn't show it, so why isn't that an issue in it's own right?

    Josh Brent has issues, huge freaking issues...driving drunk, killing his "best" friend on the team, may do some serious jail time but does it really matter that he was on the sidelines of "his" team who have already said that they are behind him in all of this? Nope! It's a decision for the team not for the general public and if they didn't like it turning the channel was always an option.

    From what I read. Mrs brown asked that he be on the sidelines and his support structure not Abandon him. This meaning his team.

    For the record, it wasn't Nantz and Simms commenting. It was Esiason and Cowher in the studio leading the lynch mob.

    I know that the Cowboys are going to get all kinds of grief over this, but what were they supposed to do? Cut all ties with Brent? If they had done that, the media would have had to report on two deaths, not one, because I think Brent would have probably committed suicide.

    Simms and Nantz also had something to say about it during the game.

    I'm not surprised. Now I know why I listen to the radio for the play by play, and just have the TV on for the picture.
