"Roger Staubach", there's something nice about the cowgirls. Oh yeah, and Troy Aikman is the worst colorman in the history of broadcasting; he never shuts up. I don't know how Joe Buck, who is great, puts up with him.
Note to Kirk: Pelosi is San Francisco's Congressbroad (said purely to annoy her; oink, oimk!); as far from America as you can get. But Houston is quickly becoming the Lone Star State's answer to Granola City.

Hey, despite the first 2 super bowls, and the Farve debacle. I have a lot of respect for the pack. They have GREAT fan, an amazing stadium, it is a TINY market. I can't fault you for being a fan of the pack. However it should be called the Landy Trophy...

I prefer the "Joe Montana Trophy"

I assume you meant "Landry"

A little respect please; The Pack is always capitalized. Remember to include all those championships before the Super Bowl was invented. BTW; Who has won the most NFL championships in history? The Pack, of course; and they're playing well enough to add another LOMBARDI
Trophy to the crammed case this year!
Note to Mods: The "
" should automatically appear whenever 'Lombardi" is typed.

ok, back when they had leather helmets (and before the forward pass) You know when the football field was checkered. the Pack were REALLY REALLY good.

With the NFL looking at helmet safety again; maybe those cool leather helmets will make a come back. As to the Pack being good, lets check back in a few weeks and see who's still, standing. (Probably not the Jets & Eagles.)

Every time someone argues that the coach isn't vital for the success for the team. I point at the Pack. Talk about a total collapse of a franchise after Vince died.
So do you really go sit in the snow for 4 hours every weekend? My brother's inlaws live up there. So he went last time he visited the fam. He absolutely loved the game. He said walking up, he was looking around, and seeing people walking up, he kept thinking crap, I'm not wearing enough clothes.

A lot of alcohol helps. I moved south years ago, but still try to get back for at least 1-2 games every year. Sort of like a Holy Pilgrimage to the Highest Shrine of football--Lambeau Field. One positive thing about Wade "Son Of Bum" Phillips boys playing in Battlestar Gallactica....at least they don't have to admit to playing in IRVING, TX. America's team--Irving? they don't go together.

That stadium is in Arlington. Even farther from dallas. I'm not going to lie, I MUCH prefer the atmosphere of the crappy bowl. Games at the Cotton Bowl would be awesome. It is in the middle of where they do the state fair every year. So they have this giant park around it, you could have all kinds of plaza's for festivals. Football should be watched on Bleachers... And you should stand the whole game.
And Lambeau is definately the Shrine of football stadiums. (since they got rid of Soldier Field.) I really like that stadium too.

I like the old fields too, the best are all now baseball---Fenway & Wrigley. I like what the Orioles did did when they made Camden Yard look and feel like an old park. BTW, Don't forget Lombardi coached Washington before he died. I can remember a lot of Packer games before Favre: December, 10 degrees, Pack about 3-12 and going nowhere...and not an empty seat until the final gun.

baseball has done a good job incorporating the old and new with these new stadiums. Football just hasn't done that.

That monstrosity falling to the middle of the field at halftime would be great...assuming nobody was under it.
We were joking about that, we were kind of hoping that would happen during the halftime performance of some crappy boy band.

Is it really a monitor, or is it just a screen that the picture is being projected onto?

I just looked it up....
The 600-ton Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision System has the world’s largest HD video boards. Hanging 90 feet above the field, each screen facing the sidelines is about 60 yards long and 72 feet tall.
So, yeah...that would hurt

Imagine 72 foot tall cheer leaders...
What is funny is that Sony is the "official Dallas Cowboys HD TV" you think they could have worked out with Mitsu

Here's the old article where I found that info, but it also says that this thing costs more than the entire construction budget of Texas stadium (somebody had some money to burn)
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcont...m.1c898b5.html
yeah, but it cost around 35 mil to build Texas Stadium.
It is a brilliant idea. I can watch the play live then look up, and watch it again, with the larger than life replay.
The downside imo is they don't have a good score board. It was on a the band screens that go around the stadium on the facing of the deck. IMO you need a classic scoreboard. It would have been cool if they could have taken the score boards out of Texas stadium and hung them somewhere...
