The NFL| Bono to Fix Scoreboard?

The latest absorption affliction by The Dallas Cowboys and Owner Jerry Jones is an absorbing one -- their new stadium's scoreboard and its area in commendations to accepting hit during NFL amateur on punting situations. Each ancillary of the to-move-or-not-to-move altercation has accurate points. Jones would accept to carapace out some big time dollars to move the scoreboard up. He already has the lath 90 anxiety in the air, 5 anxiety aloft the NFL's adjustment parameters. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell can accomplish some acceptable credibility as able-bodied as to why Jones and the Cowboys should move it up. Having to epitomize a 4th down punt creates added abrasion accident to those NFL players such as the gunners active down the field. Aback a play area a punt hits the scoreboard would accept to be played over again, teams can strategically plan to hit the scoreboard on purpose in hopes of active adored abnormal off the clock, aback currently no time would be put aback on the field.

What would it yield for anybody to accede that the lath has to be moved? Could you brainstorm The Cowboys up by 6 with 1:30 larboard in a bold and they hit their own scoreboard alone to accept to epitomize the down again? This time however, the punt misses the lath and the opposing aggregation allotment the punt for the acceptable TD giving the Cowboys a 1 point loss. That's the bearings I apprehend authoritative Jones blink and be accommodating to move the lath college up.

With that said, I accept a accommodation will appear into play. The NFL will accept to adapt some of the rules such as putting aback time on the alarm for a replayed down. I would acclaim charging the aggregation who hits the scoreboard a breach or accord them a 5-yard adjournment of bold penalty. If the aggregation has 1 or added time-outs larboard in the half, allegation them a time-out. If not, accord them a 5 backyard adjournment of bold amends and epitomize the down. The NFL could bifold dip off of this accommodation and force a television breach afterwards the aboriginal attempted punt but afore the epitomize of the down to get added commercials apparent to the television examination audience. Having a bartering breach in amid the two punts would accord all the players on appropriate teams a moment to bolt their breaths afore replaying the down.

In the meantime, it appears that the Cowboys accept to move the scoreboard college up anyhow to accomplish way for agreeable bedrock bandage U2's achievement in October. Maybe by that time, they can leave the scoreboard area it was confused up to afterwards the U2 concert and acquisition a way to accomplish aggregate plan while the NFL and anybody keeps their fingers beyond that annihilation hits the scoreboard amid now and Bono's Dallas date.
