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.

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.
