We’re coming off a bad week for our canine friends. NFL Week 7 was the worst underdog performance of the season so far, with the pups going 5-9. Needless to say, my column last week paid the price and now, like you, I’m sitting here at the midpoint of the season looking for answers. Before […] More

It’s no secret that Jason Garrett is coaching for his job this year with the Dallas Cowboys and as each loss piles up, especially in a weak NFC East, the ax gets closer to his neck. While I don’t think team owner Jerry Jones will plug Garrett into the guillotine during the regular season, he’ll […] More
