The Dallas Cowboys remain the most financially powerful sports franchise in the world, regardless of discipline. With fans spread across the globe, their present and their past-more than 25 years of disappointment-make it clear that key decisions from the front office have missed the mark. And standing at the center of it all is team owner Jerry Jones. Back in the ’90s, it looked like the Cowboys’ legacy would continue to rise-but Jones’ ego got the better of him, and since then, it’s been nothing but heartbreak and ridicule for their loyal fans. Year after year, the same story repeats.
Last season’s early playoff exit at least led to a significant shake-up in the franchise. Mike McCarthy, whose exit fans had been calling for over several seasons, was let go, and Brian Schottenheimer was brought in. Though his arrival is seen more as a move to place a coach Jones can control rather than a true game-changer.
Jerry Jones’ decisions as head of the team have always stirred controversy-and that likely won’t change. That’s just who Jerry is. A notable example: during the 2020 draft, rather than selecting a defensive player the team urgently needed, Jones insisted on taking CeeDee Lamb. While Lamb has proven his value on the field, the roster had much more pressing needs at that time.
Former coach Anthony Lynn opens up about his time with the Cowboys
In a video shared on X, former Cowboys running backs coach Anthony Lynn spoke candidly about Jerry Jones’ unwillingness to make sweeping cultural changes to the organization:
The culture that Mr. Jones has built here. It is unbelievable. I know you guys talk about need to make changes. You know, I don’t feel that way.
Lynn shared that this comment came after a traumatic incident during training camp-an experience so serious, it nearly cost him his life.
He added:
I went to Cowboys in training camp and I get hit by a damn car. The guy was three times the legal limit. They say I flew 55 feet in the air, landed on another car, totaled it. I shouldn’t be here today. I should be dead. By the grace of God, I’m alive,”… “When I woke up from surgery, that man was in the hospital with me at in the morning and holding my hand. That’s been my guy ever since,
To sum it up, Lynn simply said: “He cares about his people.” And that’s a quality no one can deny. Still, the central question remains-can Jones lead his franchise back to the greatness it once knew decades ago?
Dak Prescott’s new role within the team
The 2024 season was rough for the Cowboys. They missed the playoffs, and their stars-Dak Prescott and Micah Parsons-missed significant time due to injuries. Meanwhile, CeeDee Lamb delivered a middling season, far from what was expected.
Now healthy, Prescott says he’s ready to help steer the team back to the top.
I feel great. I can do nearly everything everyone else is doing at this time of the offseason. Just not cleared for contact-got a while for that anyway. Yeah, feeling great.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer added that Prescott will take on a new role-transitioning from cornerstone of the team to cornerstone of the quarterback room, though what exactly that means remains unclear.
I was excited about Joe [Milton] before we got him. His work ethic is incredible. One of the first in the building, last to leave. He’s picked up the playbook quickly, and watching Dak take a mentorship role has been fantastic. The talent’s there – Joe’s got a bright future.
Schottenheimer emphasized that the QB group-Prescott, Joe Milton, and Will Grier-is working hard, showing no signs of friction. He says he’s proud of the chemistry among them, especially the leadership displayed by his veteran quarterback.

Fernandes: Every Man Utd boss one game from crisis – but we believe in Amorim
Bruno Fernandes says Manchester United need stability and the players believe Ruben Amorim is the right man to bring the club back to where it belongs.United have lurched from one extreme to another this season, suffering chastening defeats at Manchester City and Brentford, but the captain was glad to see Amorim get the public backing of minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe over the international break.

Ogier dál vede, při těžké zkoušce v Česku měli mnozí problémy
„Byl to pro nás úspěšný den a můžeme být spokojení. S Kallem je to těsné a rozhodnou maličkosti,“ řekl Ogier. „Určitě bych raději startoval v sobotu před ním, ale i tak to není špatné,“ přidal Rovanperä.Klíčové okamžiky se v pátek děly na české rychlostní zkoušce „Svatý Ján“ v okolí Kaplice. Na zdejších úzkých cestách často skrytých v lese to klouzalo, první posádky „zaneřádily“ bahnem silnici dalším v pořadí. Ogier využil toho, že startoval jako první, navíc riskoval, jel na hraně a na soupeře - vyjma Rovanperäho - najel desítky vteřin.Při první dopolední rundě tady naděje ztratil Belgičan Thierry Neuville, který po divokém skoku prorazil pneumatiky, při odpolední se mu zase uvolnila kapota motoru a výrazně mu ztěžovala výhled z vozu. Grégoire Munster měl dokonce co dělat, aby po „letu“ auto nepřevrátil na střechu a po ráně zničil zavěšení kol.Čech Petr Hlavatý havaroval, další museli měnit pneumatiky, a tak se tu Filip Mareš blýskl celkovým […]

Paoliniovou dělí jedna výhra od postupu na Turnaj mistryň
O poslední účastníci WTA Finals v Rijádu by se pak rozhodovalo mezi Rybakinovou a Ruskou Mirrou Andrejevovou. Start už mají jistý Běloruska Aryna Sabalenková, Polka Iga Šwiateková a Američanky Coco Gauffová, Amanda Anisimovová, Madison Keysová a Jessica Pegulaová.„Tohle byl jeden z nejtěžších zápasů, co jsem kdy hrála,“ řekla Paoliniová. „Belinda je úžasná hráčka a skvělý člověk. Dnes si také zasloužila vyhrát. Jsem ráda, že jsem to zvládla, protože na začátku jsem hodně chybovala,“ uvedla loňská finalistka Wimbledonu a Roland Garros.Do semifinále čtyřhry prošla bez boje Kateřina Siniaková, která může týden po triumfu ve Wu-chanu s Australankou Storm Hunterovou získal další titul.
