DALLAS -- Former Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Josh
Brent wasnt drunk, as police contend, when he wrecked his
Mercedes in a crash that killed a teammate, Brents lawyer
told jurors Monday at the start of his trial.
Roman-Josi-Adidas-Jersey/">Roman Josi Jersey . Brent
was "guilty of being stupid behind the wheel of a car,"
not driving drunk on the night of the December 2012 crash
that killed his close friend and teammate, Jerry Brown,
defence attorney George Milner said. Milners opening
remarks signalled that he would try to discredit evidence
of Brents drinking central to the states case, including
a blood test that allegedly pegged Brents blood alcohol
content at more than twice the legal limit and dash cam
video that jurors saw Monday showing Brent failing a
field sobriety test at the scene. If convicted of
intoxication manslaughter or manslaughter, Brent could be
sentenced to up to 20 years in prison. Milner argued in
his opening statement that the tall, lumbering Brent, who
was a 320-pound lineman when he played for the Cowboys,
could drink more than the average person without becoming
intoxicated. "Josh Brent is as big as a house," Milner
said. "Hes got a heart -- better yet a mind -- of a
person much younger than he really is." Prosecutor Heath
Harris said receipts would prove that on the night of the
crash, Brent bought cocktails with several shots of
liquor in them and three bottles of Champagne at a night
club. Brent told officers right after the crash that he
hadnt had any hard liquor. "This is not a difficult case,
ladies and gentlemen," Harris said. "There will be no
disputing the fact that he was drinking that night." Dash
cam video played for the jury Monday showed an officer
asking Brent about how much he had had to drink while
paramedics were trying to save Brown, a linebacker on the
Cowboys practice squad who was also a teammate of Brents
at the University of Illinois. "Ive had a reasonable
amount," Brent is heard saying on the video. The officer,
Kevin Palms, testified that Brent had watery eyes, an
odour of alcohol and occasional issues with speaking. The
video shows a field sobriety test in which Brent
occasionally stumbles as he tries to walk in a straight
line and takes more steps than the officer asked. But
Milner told jurors during his opening remarks that nobody
could have passed a field sobriety test after such a
fiery wreck. Brent suffered scrapes to his head in the
crash, and the video shows him taking the test with a
wrap around his head. "Nobodys going to be able to do the
tricks on the side of the road" after a crash of that
severity, Milner said. Milner raised several alternate
reasons for Brent failing the tests: His size made it
hard for him to balance, the powder from his cars air
bags made his eyes watery, and the crash had a lingering
impact on him. Palms started to grow exasperated as
Milner repeatedly questioned why officers made him take
the tests. "We gave him every opportunity to go to the
hospital," Palms said. "If he says no, (paramedics) cant
force him to go. Am I supposed to just let him walk
home?" Brents attorney has argued his client deserves
probation, and Browns mother says she has forgiven her
sons college teammate and friend. But prosecutors have
made Brents case a priority, and it comes on the heels of
another well-publicized case in neighbouring Tarrant
County in which a teenage driver was sentenced to
probation in a drunken crash that killed four people.
Brent, a defensive tackle, had played in all 12 games of
the 2012 NFL season prior to the crash. He retired in
July. Brown was signed to the Cowboys practice squad that
season.

Felton pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of
a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm. He
admitted he knowingly had a large-capacity ammunition
magazine and a semi-automatic pistol without a license.

-Dante-Fabbro-Adidas-Jersey/ . Make the extra pass,
take care of the ball, play defence and get more out of
his bench.They have met on 216 occasions in the regular
season, plus many more times in the playoffs. The Rogers
Centre and the site of the new Tim Hortons Field in which
the two gridiron competitors call home are a mere 70
kilometres apart. Its one of the best rivalries in
Canadian sport. Its the Toronto Argonauts and the
Hamilton Tiger-Cats. The long-time foes meet again Friday
at the Rogers Centre (TSN and TSN Mobile TV at 7pm et/4pm
pt) in a game that is a must-win for the visitors if they
want to keep their hopes alive for home-field advantage
against the Argos, should they meet in the playoffs. Argo
head coach Scott Milanovich is a relative newcomer to the
hostility between the two clubs. He joined the double-
blue last year and guided them to a Grey Cup
championship; a fact that drives die-hard Ticat fans
insane. Milanovich has an extensive playing career in the
NCAA, NFL , XFL and CFL before beginning his coaching
career in NFL Europe, then moving back to this country.
Despite all of these stops, he realizes this series is
something special. "This would be the biggest rivalry Ive
been a part of" the coach told TSN.ca. "Ive only been
here for a year and a half, but this rivalry goes back. I
think weve developed a little bit of a rivalry with
Montreal, but this one is fun." Milanovich was only able
to experience one Labour Day Classic at Ivor Wynne
Stadium, a game in which the Argos scored 22 fourth-
quarter points and won 33-30 on a last-minute field goal
by Swayze Waters. The thoughts of that game obviously
brought a smile to the coachs face. "The Labour Day game
was an interesting atmosphere," said Milanovich. "One
that I havent really experienced in the CFL before."
Milanovich was a star quarterback at the University of
Maryland before turning pro. His memories of his biggest
rival there arent as pleasant as those of the Battle of
Ontario. "Id probably have to say (Marylands biggest
rival was) West Virginia" said Milanovich before starting
to laugh when he added, "we werent very good, so good
rivals were hard to come by." Chad Owens has been a part
of the Argo-Ticat tradition for the laast four seasons.
Craig-Smith-Adidas-Jersey/">Craig Smith Jersey. . He
loves these games and is pumped about potentially getting
back into the lineup for Fridays game after missing the
last month due to injury. "Its big, were neighbours"
chuckled last years CFL Most Outstanding Player. "Its a
big game for both sides. Its a game that could
potentially (with help from Edmonton) clinch first place
in the East, so theres a lot riding on it." Owens
favourite memory from the games hes been a part of was a
post-season game. "My first year here was pretty special,
when we went into Hamilton and won in the semis, to go on
to the Eastern Final. That was a big win for us; the
crowd was amazing and it was a great game." The Argos
were major underdogs going into The Hammer, but would
pull of a 16-13 upset win to move on to the Eastern Final
in Montreal. Centre Jeff Keeping is in his eighth season
with the Boatmen and recalled several memorable moments
in the battles with Hamilton. He eventually settled on
his favourite, somewhat fitting considering the amount of
animosity that has been produced over the years. "I
remember one game in 05 and our kick returner Bashir
Levingston ended up getting into it with somebody in the
stands," said the native of Uxbridge, Ontario. "They were
throwing stuff down at him and then he had a moment of
poor decision making and ended up throwing his helmet at
them and things got heated from there." Things got heated
after the helmet was thrown into the stands. That
describes the intensity of the rivalry in one sentence.
That said; Keeping loves the tradition of the Labour Day
Classic. "Ive got to give them their due credit. Thats a
hostile environment and the rivalry there - its been
heated on the field, off the field, fans in the stands
clashing - thats got to be the one for me." This weeks
game isnt at Ivor Wynne Stadium. Sadly, there wont be any
more games at the old Balsam St. facility. But when the
Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats run onto the
field to play each other for regular season game number
217, the odds are pretty good that something interesting
is going to happen.
