Jerry Jones: The sunlight at our stadium is part of our home-field advantage (www.nbcsports.com)

Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb blamed the sun getting in his eyes when he failed to catch a pass on Sunday at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, leading to a great deal of discussion about why an indoor stadium like the one the Cowboys play in has windows that allow sunlight to shine in players' eyes.

They've put up curtains for other events. It wouldn't be that hard to have some permanently installed. Jerry just likes that the stadium is 2% more telegenic as-is. Then there's this:

“That really goes under the category of home-field advantage,” Jones said. “It should be an advantage to the home team, so I don’t want to adjust it for one reason because it is an advantage to us. . . . That’s our advantage. That should be our advantage. We get to play there more and we get to have it as an advantage. It has been an advantage for us to know where the sun is. I don’t want to change that.”

Absolute bullshit. The cowboys may be able to use their familiarity to mitigate the harm a bit, but that's more than outweighed by having to play 5 or 6 later-window afternoon games there every year. Won't be as big an issue this year, or likely next, as he's finally cratering the whole operation so they'll have to play at noon like the rest of the shit teams.

It took the first decade of our being together to do it, but my Texan wife and in-laws finally lodged the Cowboys in my brain as my #2 team (sad Duval noises), so now I get to be a fan of two terribly run organizations.
