While submitting his thoughts on the recent release of the 2011 NFL schedule, SI.com columnist Don Banks appeared unhappy with the Dallas Cowboys receiving “maximum prime-time” television exposure.
The Cowboys will play five prime-time games in 2011, which does not include its Thanksgiving Day game.
“It's worth noting, but not a bit surprising, that the other five teams to receive such a strong vote of confidence from the league office this year all made the playoffs last season: the Colts, Jets , Ravens, Steelers and Eagles. All but the Colts and Eagles won at least one playoff game last January,” Banks wrote.
Added Banks: “For decades now, the NFL's mantra has been the same in terms of prime-time scheduling: When in doubt, give 'em Dallas. To that I say, sure, whatever. Just do me a favor and take Jerry Jones and his whiz-bang stadium out of the Super Bowl rotation for the next 30 years or so. Much obliged.”
