Cheap NFL Jerseys From China : Cowboys' Brent attends memorial with team support

Jason Garrett gave the Dallas Cowboys a day off after his players somehow pulled off a win in Cincinnati while reeling from a one-car accident that killed one teammate and landed another in jail. Many players showed up at team headquarters anyway and there was Josh Brent, the hulking defensive tackle who missed the trip after police say he was driving drunk and caused the Cheap NFL Jerseys From China wreck that killed practice squad linebacker Jerry Brown, his close friend and roommate. And Brent was back with his teammates again Tuesday for a private memorial honoring Brown. Players and team officials left without talking to reporters after the hour-long service on a chilly afternoon at Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, but Garrett had made it clear that Brent was still a part of the Cowboys family. ''We're going to support Josh 100 percent in every way that we can,''

Garrett said Monday, a day after the Cowboys beat the Bengals 20-19 with a field goal on the final play to keep their playoff hopes alive. Brent arrived at the service earlier than most of the Cowboys players, team executives and staff members. He was in a van with several other people and could be seen hugging Brown's mother before walking into the building. Brent was one of the last Cheap NFL Jerseys From China to leave, too. He grew close to Brown during three seasons together at the University of Illinois, and took in Brown when the Cowboys added the 25-year-old to the roster in October. ''It's a really, really difficult situation for him,'' Garrett said. ''We want to make him feel that there are people around him who can help him get through this thing day by day.'' NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league had ''no issues'' with Brent being at team facilities while the manslaughter case against him works its way through the courts. Pittsburgh visits Dallas on Sunday in another game with Cheap NFL Jerseys From China playoff implications for both teams. Police in suburban Irving say Brent was speeding when his vehicle struck a curb and flipped early Saturday, hours before Brent was supposed to be on the team flight to Cincinnati. 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 Cheap NFL Jerseys From China wreck, according to an arrest affidavit. However, a woman who arrived moments after the accident said Brent didn't try to save his friend's life until she begged him. ''Jerry was alive,'' Stacee McWilliams of Irving told The Dallas Morning News. ''He was hurt. He was calling out, and his own friend walked away.'' McWilliams, a 40-year-old insurance company employee, said 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 Cheap NFL Jerseys From China 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. Milner said he was told that Brown ''wasn't talking to anyone. He wasn't moaning. He was dead.'' Milner said the woman also told police that Irving fire personnel weren't at the scene - another fact that isn't consistent with what really occurred. ''Not one person in the Irving Police Department has said one thing that is consistent'' with the woman's story, Milner said. Police spokesman John Argumaniz declined to comment on the account, saying only that investigators are interviewing ''numerous'' witnesses.

A club where Brent and Brown reportedly spent at least part of Friday evening, Privae Dallas, has issued a statement saying it's ''deeply saddened by the events of the weekend'' and that it's 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 Cheap NFL Jerseys From China trained to follow the regulations set forth by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.'' Comedian Shawn Wayans was at the club last 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 as much as $500 and up to a year in jail. The TABC, which enforces the Cheap NFL Jerseys From China 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.

Reebok NFL Jerseys : Steelers suspend RB Rashard Mendenhall

When Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin demoted running back Rashard Mendenhall to third-string following a fumble in a loss to Cleveland last month, Reebok NFL Jerseys Tomlin stressed Mendenhall would have a chance to redeem himself.

Not this week.

The Steelers suspended the mercurial Mendenhall for their game Sunday at Dallas for conduct detrimental to the team. Pittsburgh promoted running back Baron Batch from Reebok NFL Jerseys the practice squad to take Mendenhall's place.

The suspension is the Reebok NFL Jerseys latest in a series of setbacks for the 25-year-old Mendenhall. He emerged as Pittsburgh's starter in 2009 and topped 1,000 yards in 2009 and 2010. He nearly reached the milestone again last winter but tore the ACL in his right knee in the regular- season Reebok NFL Jerseys finale against Cleveland.

Mendenhall returned Oct. 4 and had 101 total yards and a touchdown in a victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. He strained his right Achilles four days later against Tennessee and never regained a firm grip on the starting job.

Jonathan Dwyer and Isaac Reebok NFL Jerseys Redman shined in Mendenhall's absence - with one or the other rushing for more than 100 yards in three straight games - and Mendenhall was dropped to third Reebok NFL Jerseys in the depth chart after he coughed up the ball in the first quarter against the Browns.

The Steelers (7-6) made Mendenhall inactive in a victory over Baltimore and last week's 34-24 loss at home to San Diego. Though the running game struggled - Reebok NFL Jerseys Dwyer led the Steelers with 32 yards - Tomlin said he had no plans to make a change as Pittsburgh heads into the final three weeks of the season.
