09:47 AM ET 02.12 | As bad as the Super Bowl ticket fiasco ended up being for the NFL, it could have been much, much worse. Documents released by the City of Arlington on Friday indicate a concern by at least one Arlington official that the Cowboys were willing to roll the dice and take their chances that seats not cleared by the local officials wouldn't, you know, collapse.

This is why Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys are the most pathetic franchise in the NFL.
What a huge black eye this created.

Once again, Jerry let his ego get the best of him.

He's damn lucky something horrible and tragic didn't happen. All in the name of the almighty dollar. What a turd.

Jerry Jones wanted that record. Should anyone be surprised by the seating fiasco?
Nice of Roger Goodell to step in and try to absorb the blame by claiming it was the entire NFL's fault. But I'm not buying it.
Everyone knew Jerry Jones wanted that Super Bowl attendance record. The media had been telling us for weeks.

In Jerry's defense, nowhere in that record did it say the attendees had to be able to leave the game alive....

Full circle: The year starts with a practice facility falling down and ends with seats you cannot sit in.
I think the cowboys are glad to see the season come to a close.

It wasn't for the almighty dollar. Jerry Jones has a "LOOK AT ME" syndrome.

Actually the facility collapse was two years ago but your point is well taken.
Especially the one about this miserable season coming to a merciful end.

What do BP and Jerry Jones have in common? Both bypass safety in order to make a quick buck, both had it come back and bite them, then they try and undercut the cost to those affected by offering ridiculously low compensation. So will Jones now go to court and perjure himself?
