Dak Prescott on adding George Pickens; ‘We’re putting together a nice group of weapons’
Last week, new Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens called Dak Prescott a “very prolific” and “smart” quarterback. On Wednesday, Prescott shared his first public thoughts on Dallas trading for the former Pittsburgh Steelers top receiver.“We’ve connected,” Prescott said on 1310 The Ticket in Dallas. “I’m excited. You turn on the tape, you see a guy that can catch the football. You put the football anywhere in his vicinity, very strong hands, more than a 50-50 catcher. He thinks it’s his ball when it’s in the air. I’m excited for him. I know we needed some help at that position. I know that CeeDee (Lamb) needed some help.

FIA announces revisions to controversial F1 swearing penalty rules
The FIA, Formula One’s governing body, has made significant revisions to the controversial penalty guidelines regarding misconduct and swearing it introduced earlier this year.The FIA has made adjustments to an appendix of the International Sporting Code (ISC), and the changes range from reducing fines to recommending sporting penalties for competitors who show abuse toward officials. AdvertisementThe ‘base fine’ level for penalties handed out for infractions such as swearing in press conferences has been halved from €10,000 to “up to” €5,000 for most offences. The severe multipliers previously included for repeat offenses and higher championships (such F1) are effectively gone. In other words, F1 drivers can no longer be fined up to €120,000 for repeat offenses, and any increased level of fine for such repetition would implemented on a case-by-case basis. If required, the stewards can increase fines by double or triple, […]
