Jerry Jones is a Joke and Roger Goodell is his punch line

Remember as a kid when you were playing a sports game and something didn’t go right you would yell, "DO OVER!"

Now, do-over’s are coming to the National Football League. That’s right, there will be do-over’s in the NFL.

At the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium, hanging 90 feet above the field is a massive 60-yard long video scoreboard that spans from one 20-yard-line to the other. The structure casts a big shadow, has a screen size of 11,393 sq. ft. and has, get this, 30 million light bulbs.

The thing is like the USS Enterprise hovering over the field, with the only difference being, instead of being hit by photon torpedoes shot by Klingons; it'll be pelted with pigskins punted by Lions, Cowboys and Bears. Oh, my.

In a new ruling, headed by new NFL Commissioner Bozo the Clown, if the ball hits the scoreboard (as Tennessee punter A.J. Trepasso did in a preseason game), the play is literally a do-over. Time is reset on the game clock and everyone runs the play again. If it happens again, the same result occurs. It's something that will happen with too much regularity.

As a matter of fact, the way the rule reads, a quarterback with no timeouts could throw the ball off the scoreboard to get a dead ball ruling and stop the clock. He'd have to be out of the pocket so that no intentional grounding could be applied, but such a loophole could be exploited unless the wording is changed.

First of all, the screen is almost a joke. It's so big, one has to wonder why the Cowboys don't just play the game somewhere else and simulcast the game into the world's largest living room. There's almost no reason to watch the actual players when something like that is available.

At the original Texas Stadium, the hole in roof was put there so "God could watch his favorite team play." Now the scoreboard is so big everyone in Texas can watch a game-winning drive while barbequing from their own backyards.

While very Texas-big-like, how inane is putting up a structure that could alter the outcome of the game?

Let's say there's four seconds left and Sav Rocco from the Philadelphia Eagles prepares to punt at his own 45 with a five-point lead. All he has to do is angle one high (coffin corner) and allow coverage to ascend on the punt returner or have it extend out of bounds inside the 15-yard line and a win is likely.

Under a heavy rush, he booms it off the scoreboard right above him. Do over.

The next one he kicks line-drives right to the returner, who proceeds to run it back for the winning score. Or maybe the next one is blocked and returned for six points. In other words, the scoreboard itself can become a factor in the outcome of the game.

How fitting would such a scenario be if that returner is wearing a Redskin uniform? I'd love to see the cameras pan over to the tight-jawed Cowboys owner Jerry Jones as he tries to figure out who to blame while Washington players celebrate.

Already, punters set to play at the new stadium are revving up to hit the thing. Even Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops has mentioned that he'd like to see his punter, Tress Way, hit the massive structure, because if he had, it'd be because he booted it the right way.

While that makes sense from the standpoint of correct technique, the fact that a football coach has to even take questions about a foreign object interfering with the run of play is bizarre in this day and age. It may as well be a telephone wire or a tree limb.

So, this fall, when two kids play football somewhere in the USA and pretend one is the quarterback and the other is the receiver on the last play of the game, just know that the sandlot number of acceptable do-over scenarios has been expanded.

Upon throwing the Hail Mary and see it harmlessly bounce off the grass, instead of the "announcer" screaming "pass interference," allowing for another chance, kids in the future will simply point to the sky and exclaim, "DO-OVER!"

While that's certainly fun stuff in someone's back yard, see how fun it is when your team is defeated because Jones wanted a scoreboard that best reflected his ego.

Things have gone too far for too long. Jerry Jones is a Joke and Roger Goodell is his punch line. - David Fry
