MFFL. Luka era. Die on this hill.
Boston was just too deep. When you have 7 guys who can guard Luka at an above-average level, there is only so much one player can do. We need a third star.
The conditioning improvement is real. He looks like a different athlete this year. Faster, more explosive, and playing more games. Credit to him for putting in the work.
The craft beer rotation is legitimately good now. They had a Community Brewing Mosaic IPA last game that was excellent. Still $15 but at least it is quality.
The elote in a cup is a sleeper pick. $8 for something that actually tastes like real Mexican street corn and not stadium garbage. Highly recommend.
The Cowboys should be thinking about quantity over quality in this draft. They have stars. They need depth. More picks means more chances to find $2M contributors.
The math supports trading back in most scenarios. Two shots at quality starters is better than one shot at a slightly better starter. The Cowboys need roster depth, not one more star.
Always get authentication. My uncle bought a "signed" Emmitt Smith helmet at a flea market for $100. Took it to Beckett and it was fake. $100 lesson.
The new kickoff rules have made kick return more important than it has been in a decade. Dallas needs to invest in a dynamic returner. CeeDee should not be fielding kicks.
Cowboys at two feels right but it also feels like every year we say "if the young players develop" and they never quite do. At some point the ceiling has to become reality.
This is a coaching problem as much as a roster problem. If your scheme is literally causing injuries at certain positions, the scheme needs to adapt.
$2,300 a year to watch a team that went 8-9. When you put the actual number on paper it makes you question your life choices.
Jerry gets too much blame and too much credit for draft picks. The reality is somewhere in the middle. He has a good scouting staff and mostly lets them do their job.
One-score game regression is the key insight here. 3-5 in close games is unlucky by any statistical model. If the turnover luck normalizes, this team wins 10 games.
Six touchdowns allowed in coverage is brutal. Even with the excuse of being a young player, that number has to drop significantly or we are looking at another bottom-10 pass defense.
The common thread is Jerry Jones as GM. Every coach has the same ceiling because the personnel decisions come from the top. That is not a coaching problem.
Went to Oxnard camp in 2024 and it was an amazing experience. Got Parsons to sign my jersey after the afternoon session. The afternoon practice tip is real — maybe 200 people compared to 2000 in the morning.
The Netflix documentary was incredible. It completely changed how I viewed the cheerleaders. The athletic demands are insane. These are elite dancers and athletes.
Eagles fan living in Dallas here. That rivalry is real in this city. I wore my Eagles jersey to work after Week 6 and three different people refused to talk to me. I love it.
Trading CeeDee would be franchise malpractice. He is 27 and in his prime. You do not trade a top-5 receiver to save cap space.
The Leon Lett Thanksgiving play is hilarious in hindsight but I remember my dad throwing the remote at the TV. Different energy in the moment.
The Dez catch still makes my blood boil. I was at that game. The stadium went from the loudest I have ever heard it to complete silence in about 3 seconds.
The nose tackle pick in round 3 of the draft directly addresses this. A 310-pound space eater who can hold point of attack. Exactly what we needed.
The Star in Frisco is incredible for families. Free parking, free entry, kids can run around on the turf after the game. Jerry actually did something right with that facility.
Top 10 is fair. He is better than Cousins, better than Goff, probably better than Hurts. But he is not Mahomes, Allen, or Lamar. That tier is locked.
The EPA data supports this but the eye test does not always. There are moments where Dak looks lost in the pocket and no stat captures that feeling.
A 4.33 receiver in round 4 is great value. Even if he only runs go routes, that opens up the middle of the field for CeeDee.
