Is he worth carrying on the roster for 6 weeks without playing?

Seems like you almost might as well IR him and pick up another big body.
Probably not at this point in the season. Time to start checking available free agents and practice squads.

So, evidently Deion got his panties in a bunch when Romo compared one attempted tackle by Marcus Peters to how Deion used to avoid tackling. :lol Sorry Deion, it's true. Didn't he once call not tackling a business decision?

Then he points out how he has two rings while Tony has none. Well you were a mercenary Primetime, how many rings did you win in Atlanta?

What a fucking punk. Why's he so defensive about it? He was almost proud of it back on the day.

They should look into keeping the roof open sometimes.

Ever heard of window film/tint? I've got it in my one truck, it gets darker as more light hits it and lighter when it gets dark. Maybe some sort of mega motorized vertical blinds? It's hard to believe this wasn't considered when Jerrahworld was built considering it's basically designed with the end zones facing east and west.

Here's an article from last year on it, it seems they're taking the multi-purpose venue angle but I basically skimmed through it.

Edit: Reading through it more closely, the architect says "future development" in the area will resolve the issue as taller buildings are built. So, it's evidently part of the grand scheme for the surrounding area.

Not all of those windows are shining on the field. But even if they were... They figured out how to make the worlds biggest video screen. I'm sure they can figure out how to make a big curtain, too.

You can't have curtains apparently. The league doesn't want anything where you can decide whether to open or close them during the game. Tinting seems like the obvious solution. By the way, fans are getting blinded as well so it's something they need to fix.

You can see when it causes receivers to lose sight of the ball. Really frustrating.

I don't understand why we can't figure out how to pick our possession so it isn't constantly our team's receivers getting screwed looking at the sun every time. It's not like it lasts all game long. It's usually for about a quarter or so.

Amazing how the sun is an issue at all.

Did they forget about the fucking thing when building a billion+ stadium?

They are just waiting for big buildings to be built around the stadium to block it.

Those don't take long or anything.
