Jerry Jones is a maroon
"kick it over" as in "replay the down"
not "kick the ball over the top of the scoreboard/videoscreen/whatever"
What's funny though is that one of the kickers during practice hit it about a dozen times...I would love it if that happened in a game. What would the dipshit say then?

It's clear that Jerry will blame it on the NFL since they had some oversight in the project. Forget the fact that Jerry has been watching or has owned a team since Moses was a kid and he may have seen some relatively high punts He threw common sense out the window when the guys told him how large a video screen he could possibly buy.
An NFL committee is looking into ways to raise the Cowboys new jumbotron to avoid future problems with punts skying into the bottom of it like they did Friday night.
This is no easy task. The Cowboys scoreboard stretches from 20 yard line to 20 yard line and will cost at least two million dollars to move it up.
The problem is if Jerry Jones or U2 or any other group does not move it up, then there will be a lot of do overs at Cowboys games.
The seven story structure cost forty million dollars and requires
thirty million light bulbs.
This is not uncommon. Hunter Smith out of Sherman, Texas
regularly punted balls into the scoreboard at the Indianapolis
Colts' new stadium, but they simply raised the scoreboard.
The Cowboys are not planning any changes until perhaps October when the band U2 comes to Arlington with a huge set that will require the jumbotron to be raised significantly.
Give me a break. When Ray Guy hit the top of the Superdome during the Super Bowl, there wasn't anywhere near this kind of backlash.
Give it a break, guys. Yes, Jones is a cr@ppy owner. But leave the stadium alone and play the freaking game. The way he screwed over Tom Landry and the immortal Danny White is MUCH more heinous than this.
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.
