"Do over" rules in need of "do overs"

Wow. What a pun to start this off. Sorry.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL have ruled today that Jerry Jones can keep his impressive video boards at the level they are - for now. Goodell has clarified that any punts that hit off of the video board will result in a "do over" of the play. The clock will be reset to the original time and penalties are wiped out (excluding personal fouls). If replay officials don't see the ball hit the board, the replay assistant crew can initiate booth review at any time. Coaches may also challenge it as well.

One league source went on to call the decision "laughable" adding "it's bullshit." The source went on to add the result of a "do over" leaving the gunners tired and the punt returner fresh. Can you imagine the uproar of the "do over" resulting in a blocked kick after the first got off cleanly?

Jerry Jones should quit being such a baby and move them in the offseason. This is going to slow the game down and bug a lot of people.
