Dallas Ticket Broker Pisses People Off For Second Year In A Row

((HT: WFAA-TV))

Which would lend the HQ to seeing into not using them after the first year of their problems...

But that's just us...

Could be that a place called Maximum Tickets or Cowboys Sports Tours doesn't have your hotel, your tickets, your tour of Cowboys Stadium, or some other part of your weekend is missing...

And it's not the first time that WFAA has chased them over this...

Lesson here...??? Caveat emptor...

It's Latin... look it up...

Danny Amendola's Dad, Victim of Runaway Golf Cart Sues Cowboys Stadium

((ht: nfl.com))

It was video that was kind of hard to forget.

A rogue, runaway golf cart, pylon wedged on the gas pedal, plowing into a group of people standing at mid-field after a Texas State championship football game.. The cart plowed them over, crashing into coach Willie Amendola, father of Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola and coach at Spring Dekaney High School. Amendola tried to stop the cart, before being tossed from it.

NFL.com reports Willie is suing Cowboys stadium for $1 million citing "great personal anguish and embarrassment".

And yes, the video did go viral, shown all over the Interwebs and quite frequently on T.V.

Here's our original story on it from December 18th, 2011 RIGHT HERE

We don't begrudge Amendola his right to be angry, he should be. Someone should have and we believe did get fired over the incident.

And while it was really funny to see, it doesn't make up for the fact someone did get hurt.

On the odd chance you haven't seen the video, here it is:

Big Place, Big Game: College Football Championship Likely For JerryWorld

((espn.com))

So, the "Go big or go home strategy" may have worked after all.

According to a report Tuesday afternoon by Brett McMurphy of ESPN.com, College Football's new national championship game appears to be headed for JerryWorld--Cowboys Stadium for those unfamiliar with the lingo.

That game will be played January 12, 2015 in the 100,000-plus seat temple of everything excessive.

Yes, 2015.

Oh, by the way, McMurphy says for what its worth only Tampa, Florida and JerryWorld made bids.

For those unfamiliar, the BCS Cartel goes away after the upcoming College Football season. After that, we change to a 4-team playoff. And yes, there is a LOT of money involved.

And though JerryWorld gets game #1, there's no guarantee they get any others. But what a "Big" start.

We've railed on many a time about the gross inequalities in college football and this continues the trend. Don't mistake though, we love the game, we just hate the greed and pure money grabbing that's gone along with it.

You'll see one of about 15 teams in every college football championship game from here until forever, or until the Lords of the BCS realize they can make bazillions more with an even bigger playoff system.
