Around the NFL...Preseason Week 2 Style

Bold mine: "Jennelle Carrillo, of Cleburne, Texas, has sued the Cowboys and owner/general manager Jerry Jones after she suffered severe burns to her backside while allegedly sitting on a bench outside Cowboys Stadium before a team scrimmage in August 2010."

I call shenanigans on the whole lawsuit.

I was wondering if marble was a good conductor of heat because it is always cold when I have touched it. Being the marble in question is black plus this info I presume it can get pretty hot.

Marble is metamorphosed limestone, composed of fairly pure calcite (a crystalline form of calcium carbonate, CaCO3).

Yes, marble as compared to some common materials used for floor lining, is a better conductor of heat, hence appears to be cooler. This is so because its Specific Heat is 2.08 to 2.94, whereas the Specific Heat of other flooring items is lower than this ( Wood 0.12 to 0.17, Wool, felt 0.07, common granite 1.7 to 1.9). The higher the Specific Heat of a material, the faster it will transfer the heat.

Well, Dallas' plans to IR Bill Nagy backfired

I don't know how long she was sitting for, but if it was hot enough to give her a 3rd degree burn, she probably wasn't sitting for too long.

I think if a bench is hot enough to give you third degree burns, you should be able to tell when you sit down on it that it's too hot. If I sit down on a bench that's extremely hot, I'm smart enough to know to get right back up immediately rather than sit there and burn my ass. With all that said, I'm no doctor, so if it can be proven she sat on the bench for a very minimal amount of time and got 3rd degree burns from it then by all means feel free to prove me wrong. Personally this just sounds like the hot coffee incident all over again.

Nice design there Jerrah, black marble bench directly in the sun? Are these the same people that built the practice dome which was not in build code compliance?

Sorry, no pass for Jerrah and the Cowboys, she should sue and win. If the facility provides a bench to sit, it endorses the fact it is safe to sit. pathetic and half ass by the Cowboys organization

I love how last night I watched about the first quarter of the Atlanta -Cincy game and Andy Dalton whom I've watched for a good 5 years now, was being questioned by nfl scouts for not having a 'strong' arm...then last night the threw a bomb to AJ Green for a TD and said today to reporters that he can throw it 'a lot further if he needed to'

lol @ the cowboys and their continuing week of fail.

Well the Cowboys whom I despise lost a solid guard (Good) but another team I despise just got a little better...

lotta people saying sophmore slump for Dalton...I just dont see it. Last night him and Matty Ice were in mid season form. That throw to AJ was perfect.

Huge risk for the Lions. Nagy's surgery is season-ending. They are paying that much for a guy that won't play this season.

Nagy....good riddance. Part of the problem on the interior offensive line, not part of the solution. Hope Detroit has better luck with him.
