As head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Mike McCarthy is subject to a level of high expectations and media scrutiny that is unprecedented in professional sports.

As a life long Dallas Cowboys Fan who grew up watching a Jimmy Johnson coached Cowboys team, I witnessed my team win three Superbowls. Unfortunately, I have not had a whole lot to cheer about over the last 27 years. For that reason, I cannot really call the Cowboys loss to the 49ers a disappointing outcome. In fact, I expected it.

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Mike McCarthy used a sledgehammer to smash watermelons in a…
The previously high hopes for the Dallas Cowboys 2020 season keeps slipping further and further away despite the best efforts of the rest of the NFC East. After another uninspiring loss to the division rival Washington Football team, the Cowboys sit 1/2 game back of the division leading Eagles. They might as well be 1500 miles away (the physical distance between Philadelphia and Dallas) because there is no chance of…
