Ooops.....someone forgot to check how high kicks go before putting up the jumbotron.

My bad

he did unfortunately for him the player they used couldn't punt for toffees... great to see their hi-tech stadium looking like a piece of crap. ;D

Any moron could look at the thing and see it's way too low.
Apparently it can be raised using the cables it hangs from but there is a limit.
The Cowboys are my most despised team in the league.
I hope they suck again this year as well.

They said they went by the regulation book that the NFL put out, min 90 ft.
The punters now must kick higher than punters of old.
I think that with building bigger and better and taller and stronger.......... and all those expanding adjectives a height limit on how high was not needed until someone tries to bring something down towards the field.

Who would have "thunk" it?

I read an article about how if they have the "do overs" that time continues to run off of the clock... so theoretically a team could run out the clock a little bit with the right punter

I read that they reset the clock for that very reason.

Update: Mike Periera, the NFL's director of officiating, told The Los Angeles Times that 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.
