Chris Rocker Update!!!

----I got a detailed update on Chris Rocker this morning. The story I am told is that Rocker was headed to Dyersburg to work NBW and even called friend Brian Steele to tell him he would be there in 20 minutes. Rocker couldn’t be reach like 5 minutes later, so Steele had no idea what had happened to him. He then got a call from Rocker from the State Trooper’s cell phone that he had been in an accident. When Steele and wife Nikki Lace arrived at the scene, they were pulling the car out of the ditch filled with water. Steele told me, “He is one lucky dude.” I also had a pm on yahoo messenger this morning from Nikki saying, “Hey, Chris is fine. We went and got him from where he had the wreck. His car was totaled, and if not for a seatbelt, he'd be dead. No doubt. But he's fine, he didn't go to the hospital, and is not complaining with any pain anywhere.”

----Steele/Nikki took Rocker to Ripley, TN, so he could get a ride back to Memphis. And, the rumors were flying in all directions from e-mail and more pms. I heard that Rocker was working people over the injury. Many people had been told that he was air- lifted to Memphis and near death. At one time last night, some of the workers at NBW were told no one survived the accident. DCWF announced that he was in bad condition and had everyone pray for him in a classy act. Many people were told he broke both legs. I am just glad that Rocker is ok. It is funny how all the bullshit that gets stirred up about things like this though.
