The Dallas Cowboys' 30-24 loss to the 49ers on Sunday night deserves some consideration

The San Francisco 49ers continue to be the Dallas Cowboys' kryptonite, as Sunday night's contest had more of the same. The Cowboys failed with a record of 30-24 and have now suffered two defeats in a row. It was hard to watch and the results probably weren't all that surprising. Here are ten thoughts on […]

POST-GAME THOUGHTS: Reed and Aggies roar back to defeat LSU

It's been an absolutely heartbreaking, wild ride, but your Texas A&M Aggies found a way to win Saturday night at Kyle Field, defeating LSU 38-23, moving to 5-0 in SEC play and clinching the SOLE spot THE SEC secured FIRST PLACE! And to be honest, I still can't believe it happened. I have to be […]

Saturday's game was eerily similar to some of those four losses, as A&M allowed some big plays, was careless with the football and committed some very […]

FSU vs. Duke: Thoughts, notes, stats at halftime

After a bye, FSU hoped to iron out the mistakes that plagued them in the first half of the season. Nothing changed in the first half of the Duke game.

For every can't-miss prospect that works (David Wright), there's a surefire stud who never lives up to his hype (Paul Wilson), those who become cryptic pieces without superstar status (Kevin Plawecki), those who don't make it to the greats (Reese Havens) and to the unexpected pieces that surprise and delight us […]

JJ Redick shares his thoughts on the Lakers' offensive process against the Warriors

Since the Lakers only scored 97 points in their preseason loss to the Golden State Warriors, one might think that this was a poor offensive performance. In many ways you are right. This was Los Angeles' lowest point total this preseason and represented its second-worst 3-point percentage at 27.5% of 40 attempts. Still, head coach […]

Dallas Cowboys Thoughts: Jerry Jones has created complete dysfunction

We've all seen devastating Dallas Cowboys losses. Choose your favorite. Maybe the game came to mind as soon as Dez caught it. Maybe it was the Tony Romo bobble. You might be thinking of the 1994 NFC Championship Game. Chances are it was a playoff loss, and we're all aware that there have been (almost) […]

It wasn't a good Sunday for the Dallas Cowboys as they were embarrassed in front of their home crowd with a 47-9 loss to the Detroit Lions.
