Shake keeps pumping out material for the “The League”
It’s popular to blame the “crazy billionaire” Jerry Jones, and it fits nicely into a complaint on the obscene excesses of the new $1.2 billion Cowboy’s stadium, but hurting that narrative and Commissioner Goodell’s leverage to force a change on Jones is that the board sits 5 feet above the league’s required clearance of 85 feet. Jerry Jones’ jumbo-tron to end all jumbo-tron’s doesn’t violate the league’s rules. On the other hand the board is able to be lowered and raised, a feature the Cowboys plan on using when hosting concerts at the stadium. If the scoreboard is still functional at the 95 or 100 feet it’s capable of being raised to, it’s pure stubbornness on Jones’ part to not move it away from the reach of punts.
