NFL to Dallas: Don't Move the Scoreboard

If a punter smacks it again, he gets a do-over

Share

(Newser) – When a preseason punt hit the high-tech video screen at the Cowboys’ fancy new stadium, it prompted talk of moving the board. Now, the league says it can stay where it is, at least for this season, the Dallas Morning News reports. If another punter hits it—the team thinks the opposing kicker did it on a lark because it was preseason—the down will simply be played over.

You, sir, are a partisan jerk. Your party is in a steep, soon to be nonreversible, moral decline!
