So sick of hearing about the Cowboys, Favre, Plaxico, Pacman, Ocho Cinco, TO, etc etc etc... Punters, don't kick at their jumbotron in warmups. Jerry Jones, stop talking...

i wonder how many punts it'll take to wreck the screens?
What happens if it breaks and falls on the field as a result of a punt? (long shot i know)

plan and simple the guy is a idiot who is able to do everything he wants to do, i just hope one day when he comes down to the field during the game someone steamrolls right over him so he never comes down where he doesnt belong in the 1st place !!

As it relates to this issue.. How is Jones able to do everything he wants to?

He applied his stadium plans to the league and got it's approval. He put his big screen 5 feet above the regulations for any structure above said field. How is Jones wrong?

Look, I understand people not liking him. Trust me. I also know that when the Colts built their stadium, they actually brought their punter in to see if he could hit a steel beam that was at the projected height of their big screen. Since he hit that beam 50% of the time, they decided to put their screens in opposite corners of the stadium. Jones could have done that, and I understand this. My point is.. Jones did EVERYTHING the league asked for. Therefore, that's why the rule change. The NFL knows it was their bad. They don't want to fork over the money to move it.

Again, I understand peoples hatred for the Cowgirls. But to put the blame on them versus who's fault it REALLY is... Is ignorant.

Normally I try to stay hands off when it comes to tenor of conversations, but I feel compelled to state that rabid foaming at the mouth like this does nothing to add to the conversation. Besides the fact it's not supported with any kinds of facts or logic, it's patently wrong. Jerry Jones complied with all regulations; it's not like the NFL granted him some sort of special exemption. If the regulations are faulty, it's the NFL's responsibility to update them. I don't see why this is such an emotional issue for some people.

Jerry Jones complied with all regulations. If the NFL had a problem with it, they should have intervened before the stadium was constructed. This is a non-issue as far as I'm concerned. If a dumbass punter can't kick around a television display, I don't think he deserves to be collecting his millions.

Disagree... to a point.. this is a faulty design in the first place.. whom in their non egotistical mind would construct a billion dollar stadium with an intrusion into the playing area?

Would one not logically conduct a study on the clearance needed from playing surface upwards to ensure that it would not intrude upon the game?

Logic tells you, yes, that would be the case. It will impede the games at times... is it a huge deal no.. but it still is an obstruction that shouldn't be.

Jerry's response to the whole matter is classic Jerry "F%&king" Jones... they say everything in Texas is bigger.. it might not hold truth across the boards.. but Jerry's ego fits the mantra.

Genuine pompous asshole.

Regardless, responsibility for this rests squarely on the NFL. Their regulation was and remains 85 feet. Jones' plan called for 90 feet of clearance. The NFL should have done some computer modeling to determine if that would be sufficient clearance for today's punter, and if it weren't, changed the regulation and/or demanded that Jones alter his plans. We can't be faulting Jones retroactively for a plan to which no one objected before it was implemented.

Your defense has been on the field way too long. You finally get your offense on the field again. The offense goes 3 and out. The defense is too tired to get back into the game... that scoreboard might come in mighty handy to keep them on that bench for a little longer. Lol.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
