Jordan Love has the Pack eyeing their rightful spot atop the NFC North
If multiple NFL franchises hadn’t combusted three weeks into the NFL season, more people would be talking about the Green Bay Packers, who appear to have another franchise quarterback. Jordan Love’s numbers aren’t eye-popping, yet he has a 7-1 touchdown to interception ratio and already plays with t...
Jerry Jones traded for Trey Lance and didn't even tell Mike McCarthy
Recently, Jerry Jones made a front-office move that shocked many around the NFL. The Dallas Cowboys owner traded a fourth-round draft pick to the San Francisco 49ers for Trey Lance. In the aftermath of that deal, what wasn’t reported at the time is that Jones made the swap without consulting his foo...
Trey Lance isn’t going to shake the Dallas Cowboys out of complacency
Just when you think the Dallas Cowboys have found their rhythm — Mike McCarthy, Dak Prescott, 10-7, first-round playoff exit — Jerry Jones finds a way to disrupt it. Seemingly unsatisfied by his Sam Williams comments not getting the proper attention, the Dallas owner made sure he was in the news cyc...
Deuce Vaughn is proving that size doesn't matter in the NFL
Deuce Vaughn has Mike McCarthy drawing up a brand new offensive playbook...
Mike McCarthy is exactly who we’ve always known he was
When it comes to athletic competition, we all love a good ranking. It doesn’t matter what it is, whom we’re comparing, or what’s at stake. It always catches our attention whenever a list is released, ranking players, or teams 1 through whatever. You can triple the attention any ranking list will rec...
Dallas Cowboys must sign Dalvin Cook if Minnesota releases him
The Dallas Cowboys have a glaring hole in their backfield, and the solution to filling it may have been discovered. News broke over the weekend that the Minnesota Vikings are set to release running back Dalvin Cook on June 1, making the four-time Pro Bowler a free agent. After cutting ties with form...
Dallas tags Tony Pollard — so where does that leave Ezekiel Elliott?
In just a couple of years, Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard has gone from being a scrappy backup to the team’s most dangerous weapon out of the backfield. The 2019 fourth-round draft pick became Dallas’ primary rusher in most people’s eyes during the ‘22 campaign. The Cowboys would like to k...
Nepotism in college football hits a new low
Normally, when a football program has a competent coach who’s gone stale, the university will force out whichever coordinator is most responsible for the lack of success. If only life was that easy for the Iowa Hawkeyes. The team is stuck in an offensive malaise (to put it kindly), but can’t oust Br...
This year’s Uninspired Coaching Hire Award goes to the Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys have a new offensive coordinator, and it’s certainly a name that produces a “wow” response upon hearing it but not in a good way. Brian Schottenheimer has been named the new OC, taking over for Kellen Moore, who parted ways with the team and will call plays for the Chargers in 202...
Hey, Jerry Jones, the Eagles' and Rams’ Super Bowl formulas are very different
Jerry Jones is so far into his own head that he’s paralyzed by fear (or the effects of old age). In one of Jones’ many rambling interviews where he talks Dallas football, the Cowboys owner said it’s “pretty impressive” that the L.A. Rams and Philadelphia Eagles have made the Super Bowl after going a...
Kellen Moore out of the furnace in Big D, into a brighter future in LaLa Land
The news was announced Sunday by NFL Network that Kellen Moore will not return to the Dallas Cowboys for a fifth year as offensive coordinator. This latest move by Jerry Jones is another example of the same bandaid this franchise continues to place over huge gashes. They usually fail to get ahead of...
Is it the coach or the team?
Determining an NFL head coach’s value is difficult as hell. Sometimes it’s easy, like with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Urban Meyer, or the New York Giants and Brian Daboll. But most of the time, figuring out how much of a team’s success is based more on the coach or the talent on their roster is an...
Wonder why Jerry Jones canceled his Tuesday morning radio interview?
If there’s one thing we know about Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, it’s his love of the spotlight. The when, where, or why never matters. Shove a camera or live microphone in his face, and he’ll spew Cowboys propaganda to no end. So, when Jones cancels his weekly date (every Tuesday morning follow...
Can't get over the hump: Dak and Dallas fail again
Another NFL season ends in disappointment for the Dallas Cowboys after falling to the San Francisco 49ers, 19-12, in the divisional round. Following big losses, we always want to know who gets the most blame. You surely can’t blame Dallas’ defense, as they held a hot Niners offense under 20 points. ...
The Sports Nihilist: Anything but a Dallas-Philadelphia NFC title game
It’s odd how many NFL teams I hate despite not technically having an NFL team I root for. And I don’t feel like I’m in the minority on that either. Not the teamless fan part. The “I hate all of these teams” part. I refused to watch Patriots-Philadelphia Eagles and Patriots-Rams Round Two Super Bowls...
Dak backs 'Money' Maher after being visibly pissed by kicker's missed extra points
Following the Dallas Cowboys’ 31-14 slaughtering of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dak Prescott stepped to the podium and did what a veteran NFL quarterback is supposed to do. He exhibited the leadership qualities you like to see in your franchise star. Prescott having Brett Maher’s back was needed after...
NFL touchdown celebrations are sad and empty now
The NFL used to be a league full of expression and originality, and much of that was on display in the endzone during touchdown celebrations. We used to look forward to certain players scoring in anticipation of their signature dance or seeing what new move they’d come up with that week. All the ori...
Brady vs. the 'Boys
The Dallas Cowboys ended the 2022 regular season the same way it began — with a loss. After dropping their Week 18 matchup to the Washington Commanders, the Cowboys get a rematch with the team who gave them a Week 1 thrashing — the Tampa Bay Buccaneers led by Tom Brady aka Father Time. The 45-year-o...
Every team in the NFL playoffs, ranked
Aaron Rodgers couldn’t beat the Detroit Lions. Who’d have thought I’d be uttering that statement at the beginning of the season? And with that loss, the NFL playoffs are set. Throughout the regular season, we laughed, cried, held our heads in shock, and Tom Brady endured his first losing season as a...
Aaron Rodgers turned into Brett Favre just in time
While Cris Collinsworth will never see it given the way his brain drips out through his throbbing erection every time he covers an Aaron Rodgers game, there was always a stark difference between Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre. Rodgers had never knifed a Packers’ season himself to death....
