What a flop Dallas and Jerry made at hosting the Super Bowl. Look for them to not get a second chance for at least ten years if not more.

Jerry screwed the pouch on the Cowboy's season so it makes sense he would do the same with the Superbowl. I almost got sick to my stomach watching the interviews with Jerry and how he acted like he (and the Cowboys) was the greatest thing since sliced bread. With the season his team turned in this year Jerry should have been absent and let others have the glory. I hate to think that Jerry might have come out of this thing feeling like a winner!

OK! Maybe I am venting some against Jerry for his constant appearances yesterday. I just hate to see Jerry appearing successful after the Cowboy's horrid season. Sorry!

They're all getting free tickets to next year's Super Bowl, were allowed on the field during the postgame ceremony, and all received free merchandise and food.

Jerry's appearances? Jerry has laid very low recently.

I think the vitriol sent Jerry's way on this is unfounded.

As someone said, the NFL takes over this show. Jerry did request that they attempt to set the attendance record, but the NFL has the final say. They could have very easily said no. JJ is far from perfect, but those that love to hammer him are simply grandstanding on this one.

They were all allowed into the stadium as well. The NFL holds back like 1,000 tickets so most of them got seats and the other got to stand in a spot that was a lot better then where they would have been.

A lady that works at the stadium said the NFL knew of the problem at 5:30 in the morning.

A lady who won tickets from SA was just on the radio show that gave her the tickets and said she hasn't gotten squat from the NFL, much less heard from them.

Uhm she sounds like a moron.

The NFL has no idea who has the tickets now. She probably needs to call the league and say hey I have these tickets and got screwed. If they contact people, they will contact the purchaser, not the random person whose number they don't have.

For some reason the local Fox affilliate airs the SA news here.

I just watched their interview with that woman and she has really emotional. She said the
letter instructed her to send her ticket in and get an $800 dollar refund (free ticket) and she
started balling and says basically she wanted to keep the ticket as a memento. :doh:
