[quote=irish;580925]Regulations dont "suggest", suggestions do. Regulations are rules and rules have to be followed. Jerry followed the rules.[/quote]

There is no rule that says you can't place it higher than the minimum. I doubt they had a screen that long in mind when they set the regulations.

That's true which is why I suspect the screen was mounted 5ft higher than the minimum.

Nope.

Re: Problem w/ Cowboys giant screen.
 

if goddell is going to be so strict about placing accountability on the players he should have bitten the bullet and held himself and the nfl accountable as well.

freakin bizarre. any chance jerry did this for entertainment value of having punters deal with the scoreboard as a added element of intrigue for the punting game?

go skins!!

[quote=SmootSmack;580920]Agreed. The only reason certain people here are blaming Jerry Jones and the Cowboys is because it's Jerry Jones and the Cowboys. Had this happened to us, people on Cowboys boards would be blaming Dan Snyder and the Redskins...just because[/quote]

While I am enjoying the fact that the boneheads reside in Dallas in this case, if this had happened to us, I'd be ripping Snyder for sure.

Stadiums should never block punts. It is just that simple.

And now the Dallas home crowd can watch their asses getting kicked in monstrous HD!

Re: Problem w/ Cowboys giant screen.
 

All I hope no is for a few things to happen.

A) It must be our punters goal to break the thing in some way. During warm up he must work on his hang time and see if he can crack the screen. I'll loveit.

B) A do-over has to get blocked. The rule will change when that happens I guarantee it. One blocked do-over is all it will take.

The scoreboard is comparable to a fan interrupting game play...and if you went to the Bears vs. Skins game in 07' you'd know how fans are dealt with when they disrupt live gameplay.

When Jerry Jones affects game play though the league gives him white glove treatment and then gives him what he wants. The league as an authority is a joke.

Man, if I was rich, I'd put out a prize for the first punter to take out the Cowpukes scoreboard. LOL. You hear this Danny? ;)

Re: Problem w/ Cowboys giant screen.
 

The SF kicker kicked it in practice, but, I will say I like to see them lose to SF (even in pre-season) rather than the punter kick the screen.

And as to the Romo discussion of earlier, I noticed his statline was 0 TD's 1 Int. hmmm.

Do you think the boos will be louder when the HD is of Tony throwing an INT? Wouldn't it be ironic if the Screen led to a reverse Homefield Advantage. Too sweet.

Re: Problem w/ Cowboys giant screen.
 

How about 15 yards against Dallas whenever the scoreboard is hit? That would get the message across.

Re: Problem w/ Cowboys giant screen.
 

gtripp, you stole my thunder. i just had this discussion with my best friend( a huge Dallas fan) any time the board gets hit, automatic 15 yard penalty against the cowboys. regardless of who does it. ill betcha it gets moved then
