JerryTron Gets Dinged In Game 1

((HT: NFL Network/NFL on Fox))



AJ Trapasso of the Tennessee Titans did what no one thought could be done- ding the 2,100 inch JerryTron screens at new Cowboys Stadium.

Dallas Morning News' Tim MacMahon investigated the fall out ((or is it "fall down...")), and it's not budging...

Jerry thinks Trapasso did it on purpose- even if he didn't say it out loud...

"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."

Trapasso disagreed, saying that he'd consider the scoreboard a big issue if he had to kick here every week.

"It's nothing that is going to happen every time, but it's there and it's got to be addressed," Trapasso said. "I don't know how much further up it can go, but it's in the way."


But guess who is on the competition committee...???
Titans Head Coach Jeff Fisher...
Those of us at OSG HQ guess it gets moved...
