🏈Cowboys: With so many QBs on the market this offseason, the longer the Cowboys wait to sign free agent Prescott — who suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 5 — the murkier his future with the team becomes.

  • Owner and general manager Jerry Jones claims Prescott has all of the leverage heading into contract negotiations, but we can’t help but wonder if the Cowboys are considering parting ways with Dak in favor of one of the many available QBs.
  • After two offseasons spent trying to reach a long-term agreement, will the third time be the charm for Dak and the ’Boys? Or will we see a new QB leading the offense next season? You already know how we’ll be waiting for the news.

🏒Stars: Yes, they’ve only played three games...but the late-start Stars are undefeated! They’ll carry the momentum of Tuesday’s thrilling 2–1 overtime win over the Detroit Red Wings to tonight’s 8:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. CT rematch. Drama.

🏀Mavericks: Despite three more players returning from COVID-19 protocols last night, the Mavs suffered a 116–104 loss to the Utah Jazz for their third straight L. Let’s hope the Mavs can turn things around in round two vs. the Jazz tomorrow at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT.
