NFL football finally returns this evening, and with everything we all have been through as a nation in recent months, I’m not sure we have ever needed it more. We have had months to hypothesize, and this weekend our theories will all begin to be put to the test. It’s been 256 days since our Cowboys last took the field. …
The season is upon us. Real, live, NFL games arrive in just a week’s time as the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs host the Houston Texans on Thursday Night Football. Team rosters league-wide must be trimmed to no more than 53 players by Saturday, September 5th at 4PM E.T. This is around the part of the week where every sportswriter …
When people refer to a Super Bowl “window” in football, it’s defined as a short period of time (a few years) where the roster and staff look capable of bringing home the Lombardi. Many argue that the Cowboys’ window closed last season, after failing to win it all while QB Dak Prescott was on an affordable rookie contract. Having a …
The term ‘pet cat’ in the context of football jargon is used to describe a player thought to have an opportunity to see his production far exceed his acquisition status. A ‘dark horse,’ or ‘slept on’ player so to speak. Current and former Cowboys like Cole Beasley, Miles Austin, and Blake Jarwin would have all qualified as pet cats to …
“I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it.” These are the words used recently by Cowboys Executive VP Stephen Jones when describing the team’s unique collection of offensive weaponry. It really is a magnificent group. Dallas returns a pair of 1,100 yard wide receivers in Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup, and the arrow is likely pointing up on both players. …
I spent a recent evening, as I inexplicably often do, watching some old games of the Campo era Cowboys. This particular night it was Cowboys @ Redskins, Week 3, 2000. Under center for the Cowboys was longtime Eagle and Viking great Randall Cunningham. Upon seeing him in the silver and blue, I instantly remembered that he did indeed play for …
‘The Butterfly Effect.’ A term popularized to the masses as the title to a 2004 film starring Ashton Kutcher, ‘The Butterfly Effect’ (also known as ‘disambiguation‘) is actually an idea born from the mind of Edward Lorenz, and part of ‘chaos theory.’ ‘The Butterfly Effect’ defined: “In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which …
I’m sure this headline turned a few of you off. Some of you probably only opened this article to get the full experience of how ridiculous the author must be. I’m sure some of you were probably fed up with wide receiver talk before April’s draft, and aren’t even happy with the Cowboys’ 1st round selection of Oklahoma stud WR …
Contextually, eras matter. Championships matter most. So the idea of this article is not to project the perceived future greatness of Cowboys’ QB Dak Prescott. This is merely a mathematical inevitability, that can be seen from miles away. Dak Prescott is going to absolutely wipe clean the ledger of all Cowboys’ quarterbacking records, and he may have it done before …
Cowboys rookie UDFA edge player Azur Kamara’s path to the NFL has been a unique one, to say the least. As the journey for most NFL prospects began with Pop Warner and watching the NFL on television, Azur Kamara’s journey began on the Ivory Coast amidst a civil war. While most American boys grew up grumbling about running the trash …
