Cowboys asked for Baltimore to close out stadium?

[jimmy40]

NFL network just asked Ray Lewis what he thought about the Cowboys hand picking Baltimore to finish the home schedule. Is that even possible?

It's not possible, the only thing we can pick is what night to have the ceremony and stuff. We didn't have to do it tonight, it could have been done at the last home game as well or on a completely different night. Maybe that's what they meant.

You don't get to pick your schedule.

 

[DallasCowboysRule!]

I guess it makes some sense considering that Baltimore was 5-11 last year and there was no way any of us could have known that they would be better than Cincinatti who they said was our other choice.

Nope. They said they got to choose who they wanted for the last game. They had a pool of teams that was predetermined but had the choice of who they played the last game. That is what they said on NFLN.

That's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard if it's true, why would you ever say that?

They said they chose it because of that record but also because the Ravens were the only team to NEVER play at Texas Stadium so they thought it was fitting.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Interesting. That's the first i've heard of them picking who they played.

Good Lord, how freaking embarrassing it is losing to the team you picked to play.

 

[jimmy40]

It should have been Washington.

 

[rkhaze]

they said it during the broadcast,

NFL approached Jerry asking if he wanted the Bengals or Ravens and he chose the Ravens because of their record last year and not wanting to face Carson, Chad and TJ

So, in essence we lost our homecoming game?!
