Donovan Mc Nabb must be finished now in Philadelphia ?

That's some TV the Cowboys have in their stadium.

I think I read it cost almost $1m. You would need a big living room to justify getting one.

I thought it cost a hell of a lot more than that, something like 40 odd million!

You are right, Googled it there and an estimate was put at $42m

[magickingdom]

some telly that, good to have the cowboys back!

the world's largest 1080p HDTV screen
Weighs 600 tons
Reaches almost from one 20-yard line to the other
Has 30 million light bulbs across 25,000 square feet
Is the first center-hung video board in football
Has a built-in elevator with 10 levels from the top of the board to the bottom
Hang from the stadium's main arches, and can support a 90,000 pound basketball scoreboard hanging underneath
Is suspended 90 feet above the playing field

[Archie Mitchell]

Small change then.

Goes from the 25 yard line to the other 25 yard line, 160ft wide by 72ft high. And they have 2 of them!

Why? Thats their first first round playoff loss in his tenure, they've been to 4 NFC championship games, and a Superbowl.

It's not McNabb's fault that the O-line was shambolic, the D was banged up, and they had (yet again) no semblance of a running game.

[gallsman]

I think they had to spend another few million raising it after it kept getting hit by punters in pre-season.

[fearbrags]

No they did not have to raise  it , there was talk about lowering it, but it was 2 feet under the NFL minimum

[thejuice]

Yeah, I think Brian Westbrook needs to go before McNabb. They need someone fresh at running back. And of course an O-Line to make things happen. Getting rid of Brain Dawkins has left a large gap in the defence too. Maybe Andy Reid is just out of ideas, apart from one Superbowl appearence they seem stuck. Occasionally every season they have a big game and everyone goes 'woah, they are looking like champions' but that only lasts a few weeks and then the Raiders or someone crap makes them look shite.

Dallas played well but are over-rated, the will be done next week.

I hope the pats and packers win. The Pack are a far better team than Dallas.

What are you basing that on Stew?

[anportmorforjfc]

so can the pats win without welke?. i think so, prediction 31-20

i hope the packers can beat the cardinals, but have an annoying feeling that the cardinals will perform and win this one. hope im wrong.

[anportmorforjfc]

what a start!!! touchdown ravens 83 yard run.
