How horrible

How sad.

While I've never been a Cowboys fan, I have tremendous respect for individual players. Novacheck was always a great player to watch, and from what I have seen, he's been an outsanding citizen. I hate to hear this. 45 is way too young.

What a shame. And Novacek should be in the HOF.

Just ask Troy Aikman what a great player Jay was....

[Texan_Bill]

Whoa!!! Truly sad... My thoughts and prayers go out to Jay and the entire Novachek's family.
