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.

Making the Team has been my guilty pleasure show for years. The fact that it has run for 16 seasons tells you everything about the brand power.

That Week 14 game was the best atmosphere I have experienced at AT&T Stadium in years. When Parsons got the third sack the place erupted. You could feel the floor shaking.

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.

Emmitt playing with the separated shoulder is peak Cowboys. That game against the Giants defines toughness. Nobody in today is game is doing that.

Great breakdown. The A-gap numbers are damning. 5.2 YPC up the middle is basically telling every team in the league to run right at us.

The hybrid scheme was the issue all year. You could see the defensive tackles hesitating on snap because they were not sure which gap to fill. That half-second of hesitation is an extra 2 yards for the running back.

Fort Worth representation: Reservoir on Foch Street is legit. People forget Fort Worth has Cowboys fans too.

Frankie's is the answer and it is not close. The energy in that bar on a Sunday afternoon is electric. I have seen strangers hugging after touchdowns.

The playoff defense argument is legitimate. Go watch the Green Bay game film. Dak was outstanding and the defense gave up 48 points. What is he supposed to do?

Day 2 is where this draft class will be won or lost. The round 3 nose tackle is boring but we gave up 5.1 yards per carry last year. Something had to change.

Build it in Fair Park. Revitalize that entire area. The DART access is already there. It would transform South Dallas.

Losing Tyron Smith and Zack Martin in back-to-back years was always going to be catastrophic. Two Hall of Famers. You do not replace that overnight.

Jefferson and Chase both have better offensive lines and better supporting casts. Context matters when comparing production.

Lamb is getting open. Watch the All-22 film. The issue is that Dak is under pressure before the route develops. PFF has our pass block grade ranked 27th.

Post-game tailgating is the real pro tip here. I used to fight traffic for 90 minutes. Now I crack another beer, listen to the postgame radio show, and leave when the lot is half empty.

Harvey Martin gets no respect in these conversations. 114 sacks in an era where they did not even officially track the stat. Co-MVP of Super Bowl XII.

Dak is not the problem but he is not the solution either at $55M. You cannot pay a QB that much and have this little talent around him.

My kid plays at a 5A school. His stadium has a better video board than some MLS stadiums. This is just normal here.

Allen Eagle Stadium is genuinely one of the most ridiculous things in America. $60 million for a HIGH SCHOOL. And nobody in Allen regrets it.

The Frisco traffic comment is the most honest thing here. 289 and the DNT at 5 PM is a war zone.

Playoff series between these teams are always wars of attrition. 6+ game series, physical play, low-scoring games. It is old-school hockey and I love it.

Cedar Park is worth the 3-hour drive from Dallas for a weekend trip. Catch a Texas Stars game Saturday night, explore Austin on Sunday. Good hockey trip that does not require a plane ticket.

Texas Stars games in Cedar Park are a great hockey experience. $20 for great seats, the arena is intimate, and you are watching future NHL players. My family makes the drive from DFW 2-3 times per year.

The odd-man rush vulnerability is the one thing that concerns me for the playoffs. Fast teams like Colorado and Edmonton can burn through the neutral zone trap. If teams figure out pace beats the system, we are in trouble.

Vegas is the splurge option. T-Mobile Arena pregame show with the medieval knight theme is ridiculous and amazing. Hockey in the desert at its finest.
