Looky. Dallas Cowboy gunned down while driving during the early am hours. It's been quite a while since the Cowboys have made this kind of news.

5 a.m. on a Sunday on the highway?
This should be interesting....

ESPN and Sirius radio apparently reported that he died-- reports greatly exaggerated, obviously. This is the second time he's been shot in his career!

Thanks for posting that pic. One of these days I'll sit down and learn how to do that...

Ha!

I wonder if this guy was engaged in any activity that got him shot?

Normally I don't associate a "Sunday Drive" with "Shoot Me".

We were led to believe that he had turned his life around after being shot during his rookie training camp year. IE, not hanging around the wrong crowd/places. However, last year after he enjoyed some success, I noted that he was adopting a gangsta attitude and expressing an intention to have teeth laden with diamonds. I worried that he was not exactly maturing as hoped. Who knows, though, maybe he was on his way to an early am workout.

He was the stating FS last year but this was a weak-spot last year, and was expected to compete with the newly acquired Marcus Coleman and rookie Pat Watkins for a starting slot.

"I wasn't going to go home, but I had missed church the previous Sunday," said Mr. Davis, "and we've got training camp coming up, and I didn't want to miss another Sunday. We were going to get home in time to change clothes and head to church."

There we have it; he was heading to church at 5am. I suspected as much.

Thanks for the link/update! I knew Davis' initial story smelled bad for several obvious reasons. 1) Who takes a road trip out of state in an restored classic car? 2) Who arises in the middle of the night for a return trip home, so as to get to church on time?? 3) He has a history of consorting with the wrong people and being in the dubious places, with corresponding adverse consequences.4) This incident appeared to be another example of adverse consequences.

I rest my case.
