So Im watching the Cowboy game with some family and Im getting an earfull of how their new stadium is The 8th Wonder of The World and so on. So Joe Buck starts talking about how in pregame the kickers/punters on both sides were hitting the Jumbo Tron. The look on Jerry Jones face freaking priceless. Now this part I beleave Joe said, now dont quote me. Jerry wanted the kickers on both sides to try not to hit it during the game. You know since with all the hype nobody can ruins Jones big debut. I wonder what the league will do? I guess, big isn't always better.
Take for what you will but, woudnt it be funny if they would have to replace it.:doh:

Was just watching the game, and the Titans 2nd string Punter hit one off the scoreboard. The outcome......a "do-over".......WTF?????? You have gotta be kidding me!!! Its clearly an incredible stadium, but if this is gonna happen all the time, the NFL really needs to get them to fix this!!!

Jerry Jones is a failure. What an embarrassment.

Ya, and I just saw the titans punter hit it. Something tells me that Goodell will send a letter to Jerry saying that he needs to raise it atleast 15 more yards, because this will be a problem for a lot of punters. This isn't a weather problem, this would go into the category of a fan storming the field type play. The unusual type condition, but fixable is what I'm trying to say. You can't have everything Jerry.
In a side note, I think I've seen everything in this game that you could see. A few one handed catches, a last second (literally), a false start everyone but the center call, helmets flying, and of course balls hitting an overly big TV screen.

This is ridiculous. The punter gets good hangtime and has to do a do-over? How freakin hard could it have been to figure this out after years of planning?

Yea first year major in architicture could have brought that up in the drafting room. I guess JJ sure can pick'em when it comes to construction. (PRACTICE FACILITY)

$1.2 billion to build the stadium and no one considered punters. Brilliant.
The NFL had better force a change with that. To watch do-overs in Dallas again and again would be incredibly lame.

This made my season! The Billion Dollar Debacle is the greatest stadium ever! Nothing epitomizes the current state of the Cowboys any better...
It really couldn't be any better than this!!!

You think if a ball hits it right the screen will go black.

That's what I was laughing about. I tried to look around and find out how much the Jumbo-Tron cost, but it only said Jerry said "40 million. That should explain the ghostly white look on Jerry's face when it got hit. The Cowboys are turning into a reality T.V show.
