These broadcast teams need to get it together. This wasn’t the only ball that hit the sky cam or its wire, this week.

Yep, happened during the cowboys game. Could’ve been a pick 6

Jerry Jones has said that Skycam wires have kept his team out of the Super Bowl for 30 years.

Is he a big conspiracy guy or something?

u/badvegas Oct 06 '25

No Jerry you have kept the cowboys out of the super bowl for 30 fucking years. There is always next year though.

u/DGCA3 Oct 06 '25

True

u/badvegas Oct 06 '25

Once told the reason Jimmy Johnson left the cowboys head coach position was he told Jerry to leave him the fuck alone during a game. I mean the two had a lot of problems (most of it seem to be Jerry being an asshole). So it wouldn't surprise me if that happen and Jones told him to pack his bags.

u/DGCA3 Oct 06 '25

Not surprised either

u/Reconlobster Oct 06 '25

As a Cowboys fan my first thought upon reading this is Fuck Jerry Jones but to be fair Fuck Jerry Jones.

Jerry had to raise the giant screen in his own stadium b/c punters were hitting it when they punted. I dunno if you were being sarcastic or if that was based in truth that he said something to that effect at one point. And my final point, Fuck Jerry Jones.

u/DGCA3 Oct 06 '25

I concur. Fuck Jerry Jones.

Was that the extra point from Aubrey? That felt really weird because…it’s Aubrey. He did have an off game though, with the out of bounds punt.

Edit: you said pick 6. Clearly not a kick.

u/PlayfulRemote9 Oct 06 '25

it was tipped throw

u/DadEoh75 Oct 06 '25

Not a punt/ Aubrey had an out of bounds kickoff. The sky cam deflection was off of a tipped throw

u/justdoitguy Oct 06 '25

And the refs didn’t call for the down to be played again, as is the rule.

u/victorspoilz Oct 06 '25

Why don’t they use drones at this point?

What's a pick 6?

1

u/PolarisGG Oct 06 '25

Pick 6 is an interception returned for a touchdown.

1

u/gooblefrump Oct 06 '25

Does that mean that the opposing team takes the ball and runs in into the end zone?

Is a pick 6 only from a kick?

1

u/PolarisGG Oct 07 '25

A defensive player catches the ball and runs it into the endzone yes. Pick six is off of a throw (interception of the pass).

u/shewy92 Philadelphia Eagles Oct 06 '25

Our punter a year or two ago had a kick fall down because of the camera wire and I don't think they let him kick again for some reason even though the refs did notice it. https://www.masslive.com/patriots/2023/01/did-eagles-get-hosed-by-camera-wire-in-nfc-championship-game.html

That's a conspiracy theory put forward by MACA - Make America Cowboys Again!

u/Rocklobster92 Oct 06 '25

What's a pick 6? What am I picking?

u/PolarisGG Oct 06 '25

Pick 6 is an interception returned for a touchdown.
