He's an upgrade. Our rotation of young guys who don't specialize in it and could get hurt is a little ridiculous. I'd prefer to have Munnerlyn, Stewart, and Moore focused exclusively on improving at their respective positions.

I don't know who you let go. It would be nice if we didn't have three roster spots for kickers.

Sutton. If he makes it past waivers us and the Pack will probably try to get him to the PS. If he does go back to the Pack if say for some reason we need a RB we just offer him a contract.

yep,jerry don't mind spending the bucks.What gets me,he can't sell that stadium out,what they going to do after they do not make the playoffs and they sell less tickets next year?

Have no idea, but from what I've heard, he had assistance in paying for that stadium anyway. Government/taxpayer assistance.

Go figure.......

As I said, I haven't researched it, but that is what I've been told by people that live there.

you maybe right cause I know federal tax money paid for a big portion of the yankee stadium cause they couldn't,then they go and sign 3 players whose contracts exceeded that amount.They aided the yankees,mets,and the nets,then changed the law so no professional team privately owned could get aid like they got.So the cowboys probably got it since them and the yankees formed a concession company for their stadiums and for other teams to us if they need to

Almost every pro franchise gets some of the money from the city to build or upgrade facilities. Especially to lure one to there city.

I said almost and the city usually never gives as much for a new stadium as they do for that first one.

Look, I'm not trying to argue with you about this. The point is when someone has one of the top money earning teams in the league, there is no need for taxpayers to have to do it. He schemed his way into getting it done while passing on cost to taxpayers because his contract was up at the old stadium.

Read and learn......

Jones' P.R. people swear the lawsuits were not on his radar screen. But sports business specialists around the country say these two cases could bring the taxpayer-financed stadium-building boom of the last 15 years to a merciful halt. For whatever reason, the Cowboys' flamboyant owner convinced the Arlington City Council in August 2004 to rush hikes in sales, rental car, and hotel taxes onto the November 2004 ballot. He then unleashed a mass media blitz starring old Cowboys heroes such as Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman, spending more than $5 million in all--an extremely high amount for a local election, even in the high-stakes stadium game.
