There have been many excuses for players to miss practice in sports, but Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey reminded everyone that even the pros cannot escape jury duty.
Aubrey missed Wednesday’s Cowboys practice with the designation of "NIR-Other (jury duty)."
Aubrey, who has been one of the league’s best placekickers this season, was selected for a 12-person jury for a felony assault case in Tarrant County, per the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. It has been reported that the case involved a second-degree strangulation charge.
As noted, Aubrey was selected, which means this was not a one-and-done situation for him. He is reportedly expected to be back in court on Thursday and Friday, with the possibility of needing to go longer.
However, Aubrey should not have to miss the Cowboys’ matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on the road this week, as typical court schedules do not occur on Sundays.
The Dallas Morning News reported that, if the case goes longer, Aubrey is still expected to be kicking for the Cowboys as they come off their bye week.

Whether he thought he would be selected to the jury is unknown, but there is no backing out now.
Cowboys will lose anyway.
Good for him!..............Hang that sucker!...............
A ping out to the Texas Ping list, founded by Windflier.
There are valid reasons to get out of jury duty, and the Cowboys allegedly attempted to get Aubrey out of it. However, it was Aubrey who insisted that he be a good citizen and see it through.
Good for Aubrey. Typical for the Cowboys.
Another special Texas summer edition for your perusal.
As always, please FReepmail me if you want on or off the Texas Ping list.
Blessings, and stay cool!

How much time in weekly practices does a kicker really need? I mean, it’s not like he has to go through a lot of new plays installed for the week’s gameplan.
Haven’t most of Dallas’s points this year come from field goals?
If the defense gives up 50 points, there aren’t enough field goals that will win that game.
It figures that he's a rookie. (Yes, while he's played soccer and USFL football previously, he's an NFL rookie).
He may yet still get excused from jury duty if one of his teammates is the defendant.
All he needed to was to claim to not be a citizen. In Texas jurors are called from the voter rolls and everybody getting a drivers license gets registered to vote because of the RATs “Motor-Voter Law” signed by Bill Clinton. When I had jury duty I saw lots of people get out by claiming not to be citizens.
Oh how the mighty have fallen...
“Cowboys will lose anyway.”
I heard they lost against the “by week”.
Not a rookie

Yep. He's Dallas' leading scorer this season.
I used to practice place kicking in my back yard since we were fortunate enough to have a vacant lot behind the house. It was fun trying to get it over the power lines. Used to shoot bow and arrows too.
Guilty!
This is why a large group of conservatives don't vote IMO. They need to "fix" this....Should have known there was a Clinton responsible...
