“you all are morons.

Jerry did not make the faulty seats.”

..and if some drunk runs over one of your kids, you’ll defend him and say “the guy didn’t make the car”?

Jerry did not make the faulty seats.

“Am I the only one that thinks sone of theses comments are absurd. The idea that the practice facility collapsed because Jerry Jones is an evil greedy man that cut corners on a building to save a buck. Is it possible that the roof collapsed due to terrible weather and that it was a freak accident.”

Hmmm. Tough choice.

1. Jerry is a cheap scumbag with no regard for safety or,
2. It was a freak accident.

After careful consideration, I vote #1.

I guess you could think that if you unable or unwilling to do ten minutes of research before forming an opinion.

The official report on the incident from the National Institute of Standards and Technology clearly points out the design of the structure was not up to required standards.

Brooks Eggerton of the Dallas Morning News did an exhaustive investigation and wrote at least a dozen articles that exposed some of what occurred. Unfortunately, what he was able to find out is only the tip of the iceberg.

I have the NIST report and links to Brooks’ articles on my computer, but PFT deletes posts that include links and besides, it would probably be good for you to do your own work.

If you really care about what actually happened, that is.

Or just go on living with your head in the clouds believing that buildings just fall down on their own in “freak accidents”.

I think alot of the ticket holders had their tickets way in advance and what Jerry wasn’t prepared for was to account on how many stars were in attendance and how to accomodate them. Its the only thing that was different they anyother superbowl. A former president, a shrew of actors and actresses and probably a million of thier friends to accomadate for. I didn’t see George W Bush waiting several hours for his seat, or Adam Sandler, or Jennifer Aniston. I get alot of stars show up for these things, but not like this one did.

To make it worse, most of these fans spent $5k, or more, on the trip, lodging, etc. that surrounds the Superbowl. And for that they’re getting ‘triple face value’ refunds which won’t come anywhere near the actual costs these people incurred.

If the NFL had the sense God gave a goose, they’d make it right for these people. Be very public about it. Might cost them $8 or $9 million, which is about the amount of money these 1,250 people are (combined) out of…

The kind of money they piss away on useless, over-the-hill FAs without blinking… And a mere 8 one-hundredths of one-percent of NFL revenue.

I have no sympathy for the NFL. This Charlie foxtrot clearly exemplifies the “me first, money-first” attitude of modern ownership.

You Sir sound extremely “smart” way to go, how old are you???? Learn to put a couple of sentences together without sounding like a complete tool.

Did you just say “no harm, no foul”? That’s rich. No harm, no foul to all the fans who spent thousands of dollars on tickets for seats that didn’t exist to the freakin Super Bowl. They’ve been misled/deceived, on game day treated like they don’t matter, lost out on what is, for most of us, a once in a lifetime experience, lost thousands of dollars in airfare, lodging, meals and the infamous faux tickets, and wasted vacation time all because the NFL, and apparently the Cowboys organization, sold seats they had no right to sell in an attempt to cram as many asses into as many seats as possible so that they could generate as much revenue as is possible. No harm, no foul… LOL

First, the Cowboys are no more “local” a business entity than Exxon, AT&T, American Airlines, Kimberly Clark, JC Penny, Southwest Airlines, Celanese, and another 20 or so Fortune 500 companies that are headquartered in DFW.

I recognize that PFT is on an anti-Dallas kick right now, but can we throw in an occasional intelligent comment with all the silliness?

Of course you’d also think that if you had a coach that just won you two Super Bowls you wouldn’t trash him and force him to leave not long after winning the second Super Bowl. I hate the Cowboys but they SHOULD have won at least 4-5 Super Bowls in the 90′s. That is, if Jerry hadn’t fired Jimmy Johnson they likely would have.

Please tell me this comment was a joke. Otherwise, it might keep me up at night wodering how someone could think this bit of information must be heard by the masses. You start off with the players being overpaid, state that season tickets are worth being seriously injured, and then make a case for the legalization of marijuana? And all the misspellings… Did you read what you wrote? Maybe you blacked out on some ambien and sleep typed this ridiculous statement? You sir, are an embarrassment to Virginia, and the reason responsible people can’t smoke pot. You ruin it for everyone.

should read:
(But, hey, if that had happened the league could have stepped in and offered a triple refund and a ticket to next year’s Super Bowl to their next of kin.)
