Did you see him riding the tandem bike last night with Kurt Warner?

Funny, but really disturbing at the same time.

Seen that this morning, with the film thing going on in the background?

Yes, it was odd. And it just continued through the entire show last night. I had to turn it off; it was like the Nickelodeon Channel or something.

I think they were in "high distraction" mode after the ESPN and Sports Illustrated articles dropped on the Patriots, which are going to way heavy on the season opener tomorrow night.

Yep, that was the one.

Saw this and I too think it was a little creepy. They are trying to make these guys "entertaining" and they look like clowns. I guess they are trying to cater to the 6 year old fans? All I need are professional behind a desk giving me up to date information and video on all the NFL teams. It was a little disturbing IMO as well.

Michael was hilarious last night.
I'm really excited about NFLN's new TWill inspired ToeDrag Swag segment each week.

Y'all need to loosen up. Sports are fun. No need to get in fights with the refs and coaches because your kid can't play. (Although Kurt looked very uncomfortable...Mike seems to do that to you when the camera is on

I like the video played at the stadium last year, although nobody will stand up and get loud. My GF and I get told to sit down; we just laugh. The giants game Sunday will be legit, though. It was super loud the last time we opened against them, and that was a 3:25 game.

It was really loud at the stadium last year from the Saints game on. Well, the 49ers game, too, but that was because of the opposing fans

That was the only time I've been embarrassed to be a Cowboys fan. There's absolutely no reason opposing fans can take over our stadium.

I think we should tell that to Cowboys fans who put their tickets up for resale, which a significant number of 49ers fans seized upon the opportunity to buy. I was there. Section 219. I don't put the blame on the 49er fans or Jerry Jones & Co.

The NFL gets a large share of that, imo. These PSL's are out of control. Some fans are forced to sell a few tickets to help pay for that. I have season tickets; I've only sold two games, and one of them I went with a buddy who had an extra ticket, so technically I got paid to go to that game. Haha

Or you can buy up the excess supply? Why should season ticket holders take a financial hit while you sit there and complain about it? Put your money where your mouth is, the NFL screws season ticket holders.

I don't blame anyone personally for recouping money they need for real world expenses. My post pointed out the reason why 49ers took over the stadium. The cause (e.g. blame) may be unintentional and without malice but it is true nonetheless.

Well the last time i went, I saw my section the section next to me, the section on the other side of me, the section behind me and in front me, and pretty much every section i could see, standing up and getting loud. So maybe you should just choose a better section.

Which game was it?

True. The financial demands of season ticket policies aren't fan-friendly but that's not the point. It's economics and supply & demand. Initial ticket supply consists of first-time sale tickets and unsold season ticket packages. First-time sales ticket supply may be relatively substantial but unsold season ticket packages may not be. Hypothetically, overall available ticket supply reflecting face value initially will be small compared to initial demand (namely potential buyers wanting to buy at face value). It may be large. It may be average. All degrees are relative.

This initial supply is consumed quickly due to high demand though. Supply is then converted to re-sale tickets. It should be noted that re-sale vendors (individuals or companies) carve out a large niche of the initial first-sale supply. Re-sale tickets are priced HIGHER than face value tickets. Price influences demand. Cowboy fans, who would have purchased tickets at face value refuse to pay the higher prices. Demand shifts to consumers (fans) who will pay the elevated price. And presto! 49er fans bought re-sold tickets for one time opportunity to see their favorite team playing locally.

You are right though. At some point there is an excess supply. It's after tickets are re-sold. Who will pay for tickets at re-sale prices? I would and I have done so. I have tickets for both the Seahawks game in Arlington and the Saints game in New Orleans. I tried to buy first-sale tickets before they were goggled up. I was too late. I'm sure lots of other Cowboys fans were too late as well. However, unlike they and some people, the higher priced re-sale tickets was greater than their personal demand. Budgets have restrictions. IF such fans had the opportunity to buy at face value, perhaps there would not have been a Red Sea flood of 49er fans last year.

Now, if you are a season ticket holder, that's great. Every Cowboys fan will not able to purchase season ticket packages. Certainly, fans of other teams aren't generally going to purchase season ticket packages benefitting teams not their own. I'm not going to tell any season ticket holders that they are permanently stuck with their tickets. That's foolish. It's your money. But there are consequences to re-selling tickets at prices that do not meet demand.

Economics.

Honestly, I think it is less the fault of season ticket holders selling tickets as much as it is the demand from opposing teams fans. You look on ticket exchange and every team has a ton of tickets for sale. ..not just the Cowboys. The only difference is the other teams' tickets are being bought by their own fans because their opponents aren't clamouring to see them.
