What a fuckin disaster

They better get this fixed.

Source - Yahoo! Sports: At the debut of the new Dallas Cowboys stadium last night, Tennessee Titans punter A.J. Trapasso kicked a ball that struck one of the gargantuan high-definition scoreboards that hang over the center of the field. Trapasso's punt sailed straight up and hit one of the two scoreboards that face the endzone. It deflected backward and was ruled in-play until Titans coach Jeff Fisher informed officials (who had been watching the players, not the ball) that the punt struck the scoreboard. By rule, the down was replayed.

This has got to be one of the dumbest decisions I've ever seen in my entire life. How do you not account for this? You mean to tell me that you spent $1.2 billion on this new stadium and failed to realize that punts MIGHT hit the jumbotron? The best thing about it is that Jerry Jones is blaming the punter:

When asked whether he thought the scoreboard should be raised higher, Jones snapped: "That's not the point. How high is high if somebody just wants to sit there and kick straight up? If you look at how you punt the football, unless you're trying to hit the scoreboard, you punt the ball to get downfield. You certainly want to get some hangtime, but you punt the ball to get downfield, and you sure don't punt the ball down the middle. You punt it off to the side."

Really? This is your explanation? According to the NFL's director of officiating:

the league will look into the problem this week. The concern is that a punter could intentionally try to hit the video screen in order to run out the clock at the end of a half. When a down is replayed, the clock doesn't reset.

Talk about a cluster fuck. I can't think of any other gigantic waste of money without proper forethought. Oh wait, yes I can!

There have only been 74,372,432 home runs hit here this year.

Yankee Stadium: The American League version of Coors Field!

I have to give credit to Jerry Jones though. At least he paid for his $1.2 billion debacle where as the Yankees decided to stiff all of the New York taxpayers by having them help pay for the stadium and then charging them over $2000 per seat.

Priceless!
