Re: Problem w/ Cowboys giant screen.
 Another stupid move I just learned about, done entirely for cash obviously: field-level luxury boxes. The people paying a fortune for these can see the backs of the players on the sidelines...some equipment carts and maybe even a few photographers' backs if they're lucky, but all live action will be blocked from their view. Good job once again, Jerry!

Re: Problem w/ Cowboys giant screen.
He did testing at the Alamodome a couple of years back
Dallas Cowboys Blog | Sports News | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News "Bold" prediction by Todd Archer here Dallas Cowboys Blog | Sports News | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News ** After seeing Mat McBriar punt inside the Alamodome I am more convinced that he will hit the digital board at Cowboys Stadium a ton this year. I know there's some directional kicking involved but he's hitting that thing this year.

Re: Problem w/ Cowboys giant screen.
sandtrap - I either heard it on ESPN 980's Sports Reporters, or someone mentioned it to me in passing. Wasn't sure if he did testing in the new stadium or not, just heard he was hitting the 100 foot mark regularly.
As far as Jones goes, who knows what his thinking was as far as setting up for different punters vs. setting it for McBriar. All I know is he is either backpedaling and making excuses because of the blunder and sticking to his guns, or he knows the publicity that this will make him and will use it to his advantage. After all, he is a businessman... As far as Trapasso goes, bet money on him being someone's punter this year, whether it's Tennessee or somewhere else. I do still think that it wont be as big of an issue as it's being made out to be. There aren't too many people out there who are hitting 5+ second hang time punts consistently. But I guess we'll wait and see...

Re: Problem w/ Cowboys giant screen.
Cowgirl fans have ripped DS for years for building a stadium that has seats with an obstructed view, so what does JJ do....

Re: Problem w/ Cowboys giant screen.
Campbell has not yet played up to his abilities and potential, but he has also never done THIS:

What Cowpuke fans want to imply (to the point of saying he will be the MVP this year) is that Romo is an all-star forever and ever amen. Romo has had great numbers in Sep/Oct, with TO on his team (note both other qbs of TO had great numbers throughout the season and McNabb got to the SB with TO on his team). BUT Romo has been crud at protecting the ball, nor has he shown any improvement in this area. And he has played horrible in late season win or go home games. The media and cowpuke fans would have you believe he is incredible. But he is on the hotseat every bit as much as JC. I personally am hoping that by week 12 WP is on the way out, Garrett has Romo fever again, and Romo and Witten are drawing up plays in the locker room. Good luck to them going better than 9-7 (not really good luck, bad luck, mean evil awful luck, luck that finds Romo throwing a pick 6 every game and MB running the wrong way on the hand off, yeah that kinda luck!) |

I cannot speak for all, but I for one do not think "that Romo is an all-star forever and ever amen." All I am implying is that Romo has been in 2 playoff games, just 2. So he looses in those games, so what. The point I am trying to make is when he lost these 2 playoff games he is tagged as "a choker". But when Peyton Manning lost his first 3 playoff games, he was the victim of a sub-par Colts defense. When Brett Favre throws a "pick 6" in a playoff game to loose, he is not a "choker", it was an "unfortunate circumstance. Not putting Romo in the same league as these 2 guys, but you see my point. |

When all you've done is lost playoff games then people are going to call you a choker. Not that I totally agree but it isn't even worth arguing about because it wont go away until they win some playoff games. Plain and simple. When you consider the circumstances of those losses then it becomes even more obvious why he gets labeled a choker. |

His numbers in the game: ................yds avg td int 21/39........183 4.7 0 1 as a comparison these were Campbells from the week before against Philly. 18/33........144 4.4 0 0 and Romo's number in Sept. when the game was not a playoff atmosphere: 21/30........312 10.4 3 1 I am definitely not boasting of Campbell's ability or comparing him to Romo, just hammering home that for his ability, Romo chokes. IF/When he overcomes that, I will re-evaluate my opinion. I doubt it will be anytime soon. |
