Dallas/Tennessee preseason game - hilarious ref

[alittlejazzbird]

Anyone watching the game? The ref just called "false start, everyone but the center, offense." I'm not making that up.

Ah, the fun that ensues when the fourth-stringers come in!

Noticed a hold by Nate Washington wiped a TD off the board for Tennessee. Good thing for him they scored again on the very next play anyway.

Hey Troy, you don't need to kiss Jerry's and the Cowboy's ass anymore. You no longer work for him.

Troy: "If the Cowboys had Kitna last season they might have won more games."

Translation: there is always an excuse when the Cowboys don't win the Super Bowl. It couldn't possibly be Romo's fault.


I'm sorry, Troy who threw the int in the Steelers' game? How about the Philli game at the end of the year when "the boys" fell apart?

Titties 1st team looked like crap against the run - Boys gashing them up and down the field.

Butterball needs some pounds back, he's going nowhere.

A billion dollar stadium and they built the scoreboard too low hanging over the field - the punters are hitting it. doh!

And you thought I was kidding

Punter hits video screen at new Cowboys Stadium

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)—The kick is up—and into the video screen.

Tennessee Titans rookie punter A.J. Trapasso’s boot in the third quarter of the opening game at the new Cowboys Stadium hit one of the 60-yard long high-definition video screens that hang about 90 feet above the field.

Trapasso pointed up at the board when the ball dropped straight down. Officials were slow to realize what happened until Titans coach Jeff Fisher threw his red challenge flag to get their attention.

By rule, the ball was dead and fourth down was replayed. Trapasso’s ensuing kick skimmed just to the side of the board without touching it.

Trapasso and veteran Titans punter Craig Hentrich both hit the screen during pregame warmups, but Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says there are no plans to raise the massive screens any higher.

They did say they had $39 tickets to the open patio areas at the ends (standing room).
Just like going to a bar - except you're at the game. That's not so bad.

I thought that was a pretty cool idea.

I bet Jerry spit his gin and tonic across the room when that ball hit the scoreboard.

The Titans have a good coach, but one who chokes in the playoffs. They lost their best defensive player and their #1 receiver is our old #3. In addition, by stepping on a Terrible Towel they cursed themselves for 7 years.

The Cowboys have been overrated for over a decade. They are competing against the Raiders for Weirdest Owner Bowl. Snyder always makes it to the finals, but can only spend money frivolously to gain attention.
