CALL OF THE WEEK

Giants (+3) over COWBOYS

It's time for the XonDemand Call of The Week, where I either praise a call I loved or defend a call thought to be previously indefensible. This week, we're tackling Jerry Jones' decision to build a mammoth scoreboard that looks like a UFO and hangs so close to the field that punters might be able to hit it. He became a media punching bag for this, excoriated as an attention hog who cared more about causing a ruckus than the integrity of games in the National Football League.

Well, now we're here. The Cowboys play Sunday night. And you know what? I am genuinely excited for every single punt at New Cowboys Stadium. Oh, like you'll be turning the channel? Come on! This is gonna be great. Hit the scoreboard! Hit it! Hit it! YESSSS! I can't remember the last time I was this excited for something this stupid, and when the old farts in the media get riled up on Monday because five punts hit the scoreboard and somebody's wedge guy pulled a hamstring sprinting downfield for the fourth time in three minutes, even better. Jerry Jones is a genius. Now that, my friends, is how you generate buzz with your new $1.2 billion stadium.
