What to make of Cowboys’ 0-4 preseason
The 2021 preseason has ended, and the Dallas Cowboys did not win a single game. Going 0-4 in games that don’t count isn’t the worst thing in the world. Hell, it might actually be a good sign. In 2014 and 2018, the Cowboys lost all of their preseason games and managed to make the postseason both time...

Jason Kidd's hiring in Dallas totally won’t backfire
