The Dallas Card Show is the move for collectors. I picked up a Troy Aikman rookie card PSA 9 for $180 last quarter. Retail on eBay was $250+ for the same grade.

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.

Sunday Ticket at $349 is actually a decent deal when you break it down per game. That is about $20 per game for every NFL game. I spend more than that on a single beer at AT&T Stadium.

The 72-hour board lock is interesting. Means the Cowboys are not swayed by last-minute rumors or media narratives. The board is the board.

10-7 feels right. Not good enough to be a real contender but good enough to make the playoffs and lose in the wild card round. The Cowboys special.

Weeks 4 through 7 is a gauntlet. Eagles, 49ers, Bills, Ravens. If we come out of that 2-2 I will be thrilled. 1-3 is more realistic.

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.

Wade Phillips is the most underrated of the bunch. That 2009 team was talented and he was a better game-day coach than people remember. The 2010 collapse was more about injuries than coaching.

Garrett at C-plus is generous. Nine and a half years and one playoff win. The clapping memes exist for a reason. Source: my wasted Sundays from 2011 to 2019.

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 pay situation is genuinely problematic. A global brand generating millions and the performers make $15-20 an hour. That needs to change.

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.

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

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.

Texas Live is good but it gets overpriced on game days. $12 beers and $18 burgers. Stick to Wild Pitch for value.

The sack rate under blitz is the one number that concerns me. In the playoffs, teams blitz more because the stakes are higher. That is where his weakness gets exposed.

People compare him to Mahomes because of the contract. If Dak was making $30M nobody would complain. The issue is value relative to cap hit.

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.

The 37.2% pressure rate is insane. Dak could be Patrick Mahomes and still struggle behind that line. You cannot evaluate a quarterback when he is running for his life every other snap.

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.

Texas Live is the cheat code for bathrooms. Walk over there, use the nice facilities, grab a drink, walk back. Way better than the alternative.

Lot 4 is the move. The energy in that lot on a Sunday morning is better than some actual games. People go ALL out with the setups.
