First rate stadium, third rate team.

Jones raised the price of season tickets so high the average fan can no longer afford them. I think the messiah should nationalize the NFL and give us free tickets.

Damn corporate America.

And with only $325 million in corporate welfare. I guess them Taxens really hate stimulus money.

On October 20, 2008, Cowboys owner Jones and New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner announced a joint business venture ... which would operate the concessions and merchandising sales at the new Cowboys stadium and at the new Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, ... The company was also backed by Wall Street investment firm Goldman Sachs.

Nice company.

Did taxpayers help build this new stadium?

Big Business loves Big Government.

I wanna play Madden on that screen!

I was just a kid when Texas Stadium opened in Irving.... along with DFW airport.

When I first walked into Texas Stadium during construction and looked from the hole in the ceiling to the thin fabric stretched over concrete they called a football field, I couldn't imagine people really playing on that at the time.

Looking forward to seeing them play in the new stadium tonight.

You know the answer is "YES".

Look what happened to the taxpayer in AZ after they built a new facility for the Coyotes.

The old place had a leak in the roof, so this Aggie bought a whole new stadium rather than fix the one he had.

Pffft!

Big deal!

Go Packers!!

cowboys suck.

and packers arent far behind....

Absolutely! Hi, Lisa.

At least you admit the Pack is better.

Now if I can just get you to stop your silly patisan postings, there would be hope for you!!

JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!

my post continue to be found not only truthfull but ahead of the normal retort curve

PROOF....I talked about obama enlisting God more than 24 hours before the thread came on here with anything about it

HEAR THAT RON......????

hee hee...

and of course the left is silent

but NOT THE PATRIOTS....

a spectacular return to greatness...

The DALLAS city leaders that denied Jerry the Cotton Bowl site should all be tarred & feathered, old skool cowboy style. Who's laughing now...

Still Dallas, Still Texas who give a F**K!!!!~!~

"JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!"

If I were a Cowboys fan, this dude would have to sell the team or die to make me happy. Owners who seek all the credit and who don't let qualified football people make the personnel decisions are bad news. This clown is Al Davis Jr.

nice one celisary

its nice to know that your madness isnt only on politics...

I guess that's why he has 3 Superbowl rings.

"I guess that's why he has 3 Superbowl rings."

Jimmy Johnson built those teams. And Jones forced him out because Johnson rightfully got the credit that Jones so desperately sought. They won one more because of the talent that Johnson left behind but since then its been all down hill.

Al Davis won with the Raiders too but nobody is accusing him of knowing what he's doing now.

At least Davis never embarassed his fans by turning his team into a reality TV show just so he could get some more face time on basic cable.

Anyway, I hope the guy stays around forever. I'm a Giants fan.

and isnt it apparent that al davis way of owing hasnt worked worth a shit in the last what..several years....

bob mcnair is a great owner...he gives them what they say they need and then you rarely hear from him..he certainly doesnt interjet himslef into it..

now if the defense can come through like the offense did last year....may mean playoff appearance...

maybe then I will put up my patriots hat and buy a texans hat....

-I'm a Giants fan.

Do you have a Plexico Burress Get Out of Jail Free card?

Wanna-be reality TV stars? Beholden to a crazy old white attention whore's greedy whims? Giant TV to watch a bunch of over-privileged, undereducated drug abusers bitch and moan about something every play?

Yup. America's team all right.

damn kevin

sounds like you need a beer...

I agree...just not a $10 bud light

"Do you have a Plexico Burress Get Out of Jail Free card?"

Plax ain't getting out of jail free. With the mayor of NYC screeching for him to be screwed to the wall since the incident took place, I'm not so sure he was treated fairly.

But he brought it on himself with his own stupidity and screwed the Giants over in the process so its hard for me to feel bad for him.

-I'm not so sure he was treated fairly.

I am still curious.... was his sentence comparable to other less well known perps?

I thought it was pretty stiff for shooting himself with an unregistered gun.

"I thought it was pretty stiff for shooting himself with an unregistered gun."

Welcome to New York criminal law...our knees jerk harder than yours!

"I am still curious.... was his sentence comparable to other less well known perps?"

I haven't found a reasonable basis for comparision but I'm curious about that myself.

I'm just glad we don't have to cover him any more.

That reminded me of trying to cover Harold Carmichael with the Iggles. But then, he was 6' 8".

"I am still curious.... was his sentence comparable to other less well known perps?"

Yes, there are many laws like this on the books in NY and they must be enforced across the board. The trend nationwide, led by NY, has been to increase statutory penalties and remove discretion from judges. Minimum sentencing laws combined with draconian policies, with a side of stupidity and a mixer of a little old-school prejudice. Good times. Well, at least for the prison industry.

Thanks, Kev

I think minimum sentencing laws are mostly reactionary laws written to placate the natives and keep lazy judges off the hook... but that's just me.

Guess it's better to know he wasn't punished more than anyone else because of his celebrity, though.

Does anyone know whether Burris had a prior felony that would have made it a worse crime to have an unregistered gun? I find it hard to believe that mandatory sentencing laws would impose a 2 year prison term for anyone with an unregistered gun, but I'll admit to not knowing much on that topic.

Burress

I'll admit to not knowing much on that topic.

Joe, to any judge in any courtroom on any day of the week.

Yes Joe, I'm buzzed!

How unpredictable. Time for some new material, dumbfuck.

A first rate stadium to watch a wild card team - at best - choke in December.

Romo sucks.

No you can't, Dipshit.

The alledged "lawyer" who should be hard at work trading barbs with a stoner.

What a pud you are.

Plexico's offence PL265.03 is a "C violent felony" and carries a minimum of 3 1/2 years

See Joey?

Kevin's done your work for you.

There is them that leads
And them that follows
Romo may suck
But your team swallows!

oh, wait, wrong thread, sorry.

"Does anyone know whether Burris had a prior felony that would have made it a worse crime to have an unregistered gun?"

I don't know for sure. But living in the area and being a Giants fan, I'm kind of forced to hear about this all the time. And nobody has ever mentioend a prior record, which strongly leads me to believe that prior to this he was only guilty of breaking team rules constantly.

"I find it hard to believe that mandatory sentencing laws would impose a 2 year prison term for anyone with an unregistered gun, but I'll admit to not knowing much on that topic."

My friend was telling me that this is the law in NYC and that in Newark, NJ, having an unregistered gun on you is 3 years minimum. What Burress' lawyer said is that the DA would not have bothered to charge him if he were not a celebrity. He's not complaining about the sentence.

Everyone must bow to the peculiar game of American football. If it was played with a real human head it would make more sense.

-If it was played with a real human head it would make more sense.

That's how polo started.

That's the only thing Jerry Jones can do right.

I heard that the prosecution had to do with the fact that he coordinated with the doctor at NYP Hospital to conceal the shooting from the authorities. The doctor broke the law too. He couldn't prosecute one and not the other.

Hagbard - Are you talking about Antonio Pierce not being charged? Burress was charged and the doctor wasn't. They thought about charging Pierce too but didn't I imagine they would have had to charge the Dr. if they charged Pierce.

Bloomberg's lucky that the Giants are really a NJ team. I don't think NYers care about them unless there is a parade. It was pretty obvious that the Giants were interested in keeping Burress until it became clear that he was going to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If a mayor did this to one of the Yankees, he'd have no shot at ever getting elected again.

Had they gone after Pierce I would have definitely suspected Bloomy of trying submarine the Giants' season.

"Burress was charged and the doctor wasn't."

That I wasn't aware of, and I admit that I barely payed any attention to this story. He is in a world of hurt AMA-wise though. He's not getting off.

And we love the Giants in NY (I'm from a Giants family), though I admit that if it was a Yankee, the level of outrage would be orders of Magnitude greater.

The old place had a leak in the roof,

Isn't there usually a big hole in a toilet bowl?? : )

Just teasin' my Texas friends!!

Loaded with Executive Suites for bailout recipients.

Hardee har har suckers

Sept. 20 at Dallas my Giants are going to introduce Tony No-mo to the next world. The new stadium will be anointed with the screams of pain inflicted by a far, far better team than Dallas can imagine.

My husband is a major Cowgirl fan.

The Pack is playing the Girls IN GB.

Can't wait.

We have a bet on that game!!

Hope the Giants win!

Of course this stadium was built with private money? The public wasn't bilked so as to provide a venue?

Oops.

With the current economic malaise reducing "sales" will the anticipated inflation bail out this project?

It's a crap shoot.
