Problem w/ Cowboys giant screen.

[MTK]

lol big time stadium fail

I say that every time a live ball hits the screen, it should be a 15 yard penalty against Dallas. Jerry would remove or raise the damn thing then!

Jerry Jones: The scoreboard isn't budging

It didn't take long for a punter to prove Jerry Jones wrong. Titans rookie A.J. Trapasso bounced a ball of the Jerrytron during the third quarter.

If you thought Jerry Jones would react by raising the center-hung structure, well, you thought wrong.

Jerry pointed out that his $1.2 billion stadium was built to league specifications. He wouldn't even entertain the possibility of cranking the electronic monstrosity that holds the 60-yard big screens up a few feet.

You see, before construction could begin, the league had to approve the plans. And at several stages thorughout the construction, the league had to approve the plans. Without that approval, the NFL could not sanction games held in that facilty.

And the league liked the stadium enough to award it the 2011 Super Bowl, even before construction was half complete.

I actually agree with this (of course punters would be aiming for the monstrous screen but that would be fun in and of itself.)

Regardless of the league approval (Jerry does have deep pockets doesn't he ) They should have to do something. Or it will become a 1.2 Billion dollar laughing stock. Why should the kicking team be penalized (either by redoing the kick and thus having to run down again, or hesitating to see if the kick hits it) because the Cowboys couldn't get it right.

You Dallas fans can spin it any way you want. Bottom line it is a complete failure. Jeff Fischer came out and said it was a problem. I don't think he has an agenda.

I cannot wait until a team is up big in the fourth (hopefully Washington) and the punter decides to see how many times he can hit it in a row. I would buy a Hunter Smith jersey for each member of my family if he did it.

This isn't any different than T.O., Tank Johnson, Pacman, Quincy Carter and all of the other square pegs that Jerry has decided that he can fit in a round hole. I am betting that they will not hold the Super Bowl there until this issue is fixed. You cannot have the league showcase marred by an oversized TV that some stubborn jackass refuses to move.

Ya the stadium maybe built to league specifications but the TV screen wasn't

[MTK]

I don't care who's fault it is, every time a punt hits the screen it's a fail.

Owner FAIL:

Jones implied that having the video board in play provided an "entertainment value" and that both teams would have to deal with it. But the owner repeatedly said that the normal trajectory of an NFL punt would not bring the video board into play.

did they demolish Texas stadium already? It would be awesome if the league de-certified that stadium until the problem was resolved! (not saying that will happen, just that it would be awesome)

Say what you will, having punters bounce balls of your ostentatious jumbo tron makes your stadium look stupid, I don't care how many other bells and whistles it has.

IMO, this stadium is a giant phallic symbol for Jerrah. I don't know what's more vain- all his absurd plastic surgery or this building with his low rider big screen.

If there are a few "do-overs" in every game to start the season, I guarantee that screen gets raised. It has to. Opposing coaches/players and the media will make a circus out of it until Goodell makes Jerrah tuck his tail and do something.

"Entertainment value" ???? Really Jerrah?

I wonder how "entertaining" it will be for him and Cowboys fans when an opposing team gets great field position at a crucial point in a game because of his low hanging TV. We'll see how he feels then.

What a joke.

[skindeep]

According to Stephan Hawkins @AP.

"The screens will be raised 25 feet in October to accommodate the stage for U2 when they perform in 2 months."-Stephan Hawkins. So he will raise it for a show, but not for what he built it for. Go figure.

Now that said, He should take his head out his ass and put his EGO in it to feel the viod.

[Lotus]

You can bet that when (not if, but when) McBriar hits it and the Cowpies suffer thereby that Jerruh will rethink things in the Bonehead Palace.

[DCtoAZ]

How about this ... F*ck the Cowboys ... F*ck Jerry Jones ... Move the damn screen up, nobody cares about "league specs", we can't go a whole season with re-dos ?? First time someone has a "re-do" and then gets it blocked let's see what happens ..

Dear Dallas,

Suck My Balls
