Feagles Says 'High' To Cowboys Video Board

Jeff FeaglesJeff Feagles watched with interest as Titans rookie punter A.J. Trapasso hit the gigantic $40 million digital video board hanging over the field at new Cowboys Stadium with a punt in a recent preseason game.
The Giants play there in Week 2. The NFL's mandated minimum height for a center-hung board is 85 feet; the Cowboys' screen is 90 feet over the playing surface. The Giants' brand-new indoor field house is 80 feet high.
"I can hit that, not all the time -- it takes a really good punt," the 43-year old Feagles said. "For me a 90-foot shot is going to be pretty good. If I hit that thing, it's going to be a nice punt off my foot. Our old bubble was 60 feet high. I could hit that with no problem."
Commissioner Roger Goodell came up with the unusual ruling that if a punter hits the Cowboys' video board, the result will be a do-over, with the game clock reverting back to the time before the punt.
