Jerry Jones, the mercurial owner of the Dallas Cowboys, is all talk and no action, but fans know this about the never-hit-his-prime owner/general manager. Jones and the front office have made a mess of a playoff-caliber team, and fans and the media are tired of his actions and lack of actions. As the latest news cycle …
The biggest question after Sunday’s games? Do any of the four NFC East teams actually want to win the division? Because none of them are playing like it. The Washington Commanders were poised to really take control of the NFC East division on Sunday. But they couldn’t close the deal, falling by a touchdown to the …
The NCAA football season is in full swing, and Dallas Cowboys scouts should be looking at draft prospects for future Cowboys. The current Cowboys roster is riddled with injuries and players playing well below their expected talent level. A few players could be let go after this season with little to no cap hit. As football …
For a few minutes on Monday morning, it looked like the Washington Commanders would expand their lead in the NFC East to 1.5 games. But an amazing final drive by Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys put that on hold. Dallas’ 20-17 win on Sunday Night Football, which became Monday morning football, kept the Cowboys just …
Did you know that the Dallas Cowboys are one of the biggest and most popular teams on the National Football League (NFL) roster?

After four weeks of the 2024 NFL season, the Dallas Cowboys have an even 2-2 record after road wins over the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants sandwiched around embarrassing home losses to the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens. A record right at .500 plus the two terrible losses doesn’t have Cowboys Nation feeling so …
Prior to the start of this season, if you had the Washington Commanders in sole possession of first place in the NFC East after four weeks, there would have been one universal reaction. You’re out of your mind. Yet here we are after four weeks of NFL football and look who stands alone atop of the …
As former NFL Super Bowl winning scout, Bryan Broaddus says, the NFL is a strange lady. What he means by this is that most times the season doesn’t go the way everyone expects it to. If it was that easy, the majority Super Bowl pick would win the championship every season, and we can all stop …
The Dallas Cowboys need to poach players from practice squads around the league. As fans know, this is the only way Jerry Jones will sign players if they are cheap, unproven, unknown, or old. So, the best bet for an infusion of potential talent would be looking around the league at practice squads. Several teams have …
Somewhere in the general area of Washington D.C., Dan Quinn is probably still smiling. Somehow, with a rebuilt offense and defense, a new coaching staff, and a rookie starting quarterback Quinn has the Washington Commanders at 2-1. They are also tied for first place in the NFC East. The cherry on top of the parfait is …
Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season has now come and gone after QB Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons spoiled the Philadelphia Eagles homecoming with an improbable touchdown drive with less than two minutes left in regulation.

The Denver Broncos have seen several high-paid players join its ranks, but none has been offered as valuable an extension contract as defensive back Patrick Surtain II, who just signed a four-year extension with a guarantee of $77.5 million. The Broncos struck gold when Surtain (No. 9) joined the team in 2021. And now, with less …
The NFC East’s season kicks off tonight when the Eagles host the Packers at 7:15 p.m. Fortunately for me, since I don’t have a Peacock subscription, I don’t have to watch it. But it does mean it’s time for my final prediction post for the upcoming NFC East season. The Cowboys (at Cleveland), the Giants (vs. …
Last year, former Dallas Cowboys’ cornerback Deion Sanders was the media darling. “Coach Prime” had risen up to head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes in the Pac-12 Conference of Division I college football. Just when you weren’t seeing enough of him on the sidelines of a game, he was the subject of discussion on all the …
The Dallas Cowboys have one year left with Dak Prescott as quarterback, and the writing is on the wall for a separation. A separation would be terrible without a backup plan in place. As fans know, Dak Prescott and Jerry Jones have been trading slight jabs in the media. It feels slightly eerie, but this may …
The NFC East nearly went 0-4 in the final week of the 2024 preseason on Sunday. Ironically, it was a former Cowboys player who did it. And he was playing for one of the Cowboys’ division rivals.

Things are heating up in the NFL world. Training camp is here, the preseason is on deck, and with that the Cowboys fantasy football rankings are starting to get some attention. It is almost time for fantasy drafts, after all. It’s no surprise that Dallas has some of the top players in fantasy football. Despite this …
The Dallas Cowboys defense in Madden 25 leaves much to be desired. The defense has one of, if not the best, defenders in the league, but there isn’t much love for the defensive players after him. The defense from top to bottom looks like a top-10 defense in real life. Madden 25, on the other hand, …
Last night’s Hall of Fame preseason game marked the first appearance of the league’s new kickoff rules. The NFL adopted the kickoff format championed in recent years by the spring football leagues. They’ve even tweaked the onside kick rules too. Thursday night’s game was halted late in the third quarter due to thunderstorms in the Canton, …
The NFL will utilize new technology in a few preseason games to assess its impact on the games. The technology in question is a Sony product called Hawk-Eye, which could potentially replace chain gangs in measuring line-to-gain. Several games over the years have hinged on the exact placement of the ball on the field. The Hawk-Eye …
