DALLAS COWBOYS

Stephen A. Smith Hits Dak Prescott With A Huge Challenge

by

Stephen A. Smith is someone who has always sought to humble the Dallas Cowboys. Even when the team is playing some of its best football, you can count on Stephen A. to rain on their parade. However, he does make sure to give them props when they deserve them.

Overall, the Cowboys have yet to really make a splash in the postseason since the arrival of Dak Prescott. They have never gotten past the Division Round, and at this point, fans are starting to grow impatient. This is especially true now that the Cowboys have the San Francisco 49ers in front of them.

Stephen A. Speaks

Today on First Take, Stephen A. spoke about the Cowboys and Dak Prescott in particular. During the segment, he claimed that Prescott has immense pressure heading into the match against the 49ers. Below, you will see what he means by this, while also challenging Prescott to rise to the occasion.

“I have been told that the San Francisco 49ers are on a significantly higher level than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,” Smith said. “The challenge that Dak Prescott faced Monday night is nothing compared to what he’s going to face this weekend. If he fails, it will remind us that there are levels to this and Dak Prescott just ain’t on it as of yet.”

The 49ers have had one of the best defenses in football, all season long. However, the Cowboys also have an amazing defensive unit, which means there is a good chance that they can win the game. Not to mention, 49ers rookie QB Brock Purdy has made some mistakes, and if the Cowboys capitalize on this, we could see an upset.

Let us know who you think is going to win this NFC Divisional Matchup, in the comments section down below.

Stephen A. Smith Hilariously Apologizes To Dak Prescott’s Dad

by

Stephen A. Smith is known for having some wild hot takes. Additionally, sometimes he makes some large grandiose predictions that do not exactly work out in his favor. Well, that is exactly what happened on Monday as he told Dak Prescott’s father that his son would throw two interceptions.

Subsequently, Smith was proven wrong as Dak threw zero interceptions on Monday night. Furthermore, he came through with a whopping five touchdowns. This gave the Cowboys a 31-14 victory that fans are going to remember for a very long time.

Stephen A. Reacts

In the video clip down below, you can see that Smith ate his words this morning. Marcus Spears ordered him to apologize on the air, and that is exactly what he did. Overall, it was a pretty hilarious moment, especially as Smith seemed apprehensive about giving the apology.

Moreover, Smith gave a more fleshed out analysis of the Cowboys later on First Take. As you can see, Stephen A. was pretty shocked in terms of how the Cowboys played. He did not expect them to bury the Bucs in such a fashion. Needless to say, he was very impressed with what he saw.

“Congratulations to the Dallas Cowboys. … I expected [them] to implode … They shocked me,” Smith said. However, Stephen A. is making sure that fans temper their expectations as the Cowboys will play a strong 49ers team next Sunday.

The Cowboys are a team who have always choked under the pressure, at least over the last 20 years. Now, however, they have a great opportunity to show people that they can contend for a Super Bowl.

Let us know if you think they will defeat the 49ers next weekend, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world.

Russell Gage Taken To Hospital Following Scary Hit

by

Russell Gage of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers went through an incredibly scary moment on Monday night. Of course, the Buccaneers were taking on the Dallas Cowboys in their Wild Card matchup. Late in the game, Tom Brady threw a pass into the middle of the field, and Gage was the target.

Subsequently, Gage went down on the ground to get the ball, but it bounced off of his hands. From there, a Cowboys player came in with a late hit and hit Gage’s neck with his arm. Overall, it appeared to be a very scary injury that looked pretty awful on TV.

Russell Gage Gets Treatment

According to TMZ, Gage was taken to the hospital for his injury. On TV, Gage was down on the field for several minutes. Consequently, his teammates gathered around on the field and offered him some support. While it was nowhere near as awful as the Damar Hamlin situation, there was still quite a bit of concern.

As per head coach Todd Bowles, it has been confirmed that Gage has a concussion. However, it is unclear what other injuries he may have. For now, they want to take a good look at his neck to see if it may be broken. Thankfully, Gage appeared to be moving his legs and fingers while on the field.

Overall, it was a bad night for the Buccaneers who lost 31-14 to the Cowboys. Now, their season is over, and it remains to be seen if Tom Brady will be back. Hopefully, however, Gage is okay and is able to return healthy next year.

Be sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates on this developing story. Additionally, let us know what you thought of last night’s game, in the comments below.

Dak Prescott Explains What Tom Brady Told Him After Huge Win

by

Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys proved a ton of doubters wrong last night. For years now, the Cowboys have been seen as playoff chokers. Prescott has also been hit with this label as his record coming into last night was 1-3. However, Prescott changed the narrative with five touchdowns. Four were from passing, and one was from running it in himself.

This win now makes it so that the Cowboys will face the San Francisco 49ers next weekend. Of course, this is going to be a matchup for the ages. The Cowboys are very much expected to lose, however, they seem to have hit their stride. At this point, it is anyone’s game.

Dak Prescott Reacts

Following the match, Prescott spoke to reporters about what took place on the field. Overall, he was overjoyed about his team’s effort. Furthermore, he discussed what Tom Brady told him after the game. As you will see, it was a great message.

“He just said that I played well,” Dak Prescott said. “I told him good job, he told me good job. I just shook his hand. [Brady’s] obviously a guy that I have the ultimate respect for. He’s won more than anyone has in this league. He’s been the epitome of how to play this game for years and how to take care of your body. So much respect for him.

“But that’s about (our) defense. The way they went out there and took care of business. This isn’t some Dak versus Tom Brady matchup. That was Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Our defense played their asses off and gave us an opportunity to score more points than they did.”

While Prescott and the Cowboys might find it difficult in the next round, there is no doubt that they have some momentum. If they find a way to take advantage, there is a good chance they go all the way to the Super Bowl.

Skip Bayless Reacts With Glee After Cowboys Blowout

by

Skip Bayless is perhaps the biggest Cowboys fan on TV, aside from Michael Irvin. Every time Bayless is on Undisputed, you can hear him deliver some unique takes about his Cowboys. Overall, he comes across as a homer, and it never fails to make Shannon Sharpe laugh.

On Monday night, Bayless was sweating from the comfort of his home as the Cowboys took on the Buccaneers. Bayless understood that this was a huge game for the franchise, and somehow, they delivered. The Cowboys knocked off Tom Brady by a score of 31-14. Subsequently, Bayless was quite the happy camper.

Skip Bayless Reacts

Immediately after his big win, Bayless took to Twitter where he gloated about the situation. Of course, this could have been a disaster for Skip. Had the Cowboys lost, Bayless would have received Sharpe’s full wrath. However, Bayless will now get to gloat on this morning’s show.

“FINALLY: The Dallas Cowboys win their first road playoff game in 30 years. I was there that day – Jan. 17, 1993 – at Candlestick,” Bayless wrote. “Thank you, Dak Prescott, for playing the game of your life at GOAT.” Needless to say, Bayless was more than happy about what took place last night.

Additionally, Skip made sure to react to the pitiful performance from Cowboys kicker Brett Maher. Maher missed his first four point after attempts, which was simply ridiculous. Eventually, he made the last one, and thankfully, it had no real impact on the outcome of the game. Now, however, the Cowboys might need to find a new kicker.

As for Bayless, this was a great night for him that he will never forget. We just pray for Shannon Sharpe this morning as he will be facing a different kind of beast.

Stephen A. Smith Trolls Cowboys Fans With Epic Monologue

by

If you are a big Stephen A. fan, then you know the kind of relationship he has with the Dallas Cowboys. Overall, this distaste for the Cowboys mostly extends to the fanbase. As many already know, Cowboys fans are fairly delusional about their team. They always think their team is going to win the Super Bowl, although they rarely make it past the Wild Card round.

Tonight, the Cowboys will be going up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in what should be a good matchup. This is going to be a make-or-break moment for Dak Prescott, who needs a big playoff win on his resume. If he loses, however, pundits like Stephen A. Smith are going to eat him for lunch.

Stephen A. Makes His Mark

Today, First Take was being hosted in none other than Tampa Bay, Florida. Since the Bucs won their division, they are hosting this game, despite having four fewer wins than the Cowboys. In true Stephen A. fashion, he decided to make an exceptionally fashionable entrance at the game.

In the clip down below, you can find Smith wearing a Cowboy hat all while riding the escalator. There were plenty of Cowboy fans in attendance for the live show, and he made sure to taunt them with some anti-Cowboys rhetoric. Of course, Michael Irvin was right behind him as he attempted to stop the madness.

If you are a Cowboys fan, you are probably feeling extremely nervous right now. The team never wins games that they are supposed to, and this could be another example of that. Hopefully, for Cowboys fans, Stephen A. has nothing to gloat about on Tuesday.

Let us know who you think will win on Monday night, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from the sports world.

Skip Bayless Calls Jerry Jones “Delusional”

by

Skip Bayless sure does love his Dallas Cowboys. Every single season, he tries to make up reasons for why they are actually going to be successful. Unfortunately, they have proven time and time again that they just don’t have the clutch gene that Bayless harps on so much.

Overall, it has been a rough two decades for Cowboys fans. They haven’t matched their success from the 90s, and it could be a while before they ever get back to a Super Bowl. Of course, they could do it this season, although it would take a Herculean effort.

Skip Bayless Vs. Jerry Jones

Recently, Jerry Jones claimed that Dak has superior DNA that makes it so he can’t turn the ball over. Of course, Bayless knows this is quite the opposite, and he said so on Undisputed. More jarringly, Bayless straight up claimed that Jerry Jones was delusional. These are some harsh words, however, we’re sure some Cowboys fans out there feel the same way.

“Jerry has delusionally convinced himself because he paid the man so much money that Dak is THAT guy,” Skip said. “I’m still waiting to see THAT guy emerge. But the harder I look, the worse it gets.”

The Cowboys are going to play the Buccaneers on Monday night. It is going to be a tough test, even though the Cowboys finished with four more wins. Brady is the GOAT and he knows how to win in the postseason. Meanwhile, the Cowboys under Dak Prescott have yet to prove such a thing.

Hopefully, for Skip and that fanbase, they can finally get it done. Let us know who you think will win, in the comments section down below.

Skip Bayless Rips Ezekiel Elliott Despite Cowboys Win

by

Skip Bayless is one of the biggest Cowboys fans out there. Ever since becoming an analyst on TV, Bayless has ridden for his Cowboys. Unfortunately, they haven’t given him too much to cheer about, especially when it comes to the postseason. Overall, they have done very little in the Dak Prescott era, and it remains to be seen if they ever will.

Last night, the Cowboys played a Thursday Night showdown against the Tennessee Titans. In the end, they won 27-13, however, it wasn’t the showing that Bayless was truly hoping for. Instead, the Cowboys were sloppy at times and ultimately benefitted from the Titans’ long list of injuries.

Skip Bayless Vs. Ezekiel Elliott

Ezekiel Elliott scored a touchdown in last night’s game, however, he did very little aside from that. He is simply not the running back he used to be, and Bayless was very quick to point that out. In fact, he wished for Tony Pollard to rush back from his injury.

“Get healthy soon, Tony Pollard,” Skip said. “Without you, Zeke gets exposed as more of a fullback than a halfback. One yard and a cloud of disgust.”

On Undisputed, Bayless offered up more of the same in terms of analysis. However, he decided to take the heat off of Elliott and instead, put it on the entire team.

“I needed a 40-0 statement,” Bayless said. “I needed them to rocket fuel the momentum that they relaunched against Philadelphia after blowing it all at Jacksonville. It was one of those nights on a national stage where you need to flex your firepower.”

Hopefully, for Skip, his Cowboys can start getting back on track a bit. After all, the playoffs are almost here and once again, they are looking to avoid another first-round exit.

Terrell Owens’ NFL Hopes Get Harsh Reaction From Fans

by

Terrell Owens is one of the best wide receivers to ever play in the NFL. Overall, he is a great player who made a huge impact on the game. As many of you already know, TO has done a tremendous job of keeping in shape. He works hard every day, and he still has his speed.

Having said that, it should come as no surprise that Owens actually wants to play NFL football. On numerous occasions, he has made this claim, although few people have taken him seriously. However, he seems very keen on making this a reality.

Terrell Owens & The Cowboys

Recently, it was revealed that Owens almost signed with the Cowboys. For now, the Cowboys have yet to make any official as they aren’t sure this is the right move. However, TO’s agent Gregory D.L. Daniel says that numerous teams are interested and would like to see him in a workout.

“We’ve been in constant communication with Jerry Jones’ office over the last few days about the possibility of him returning to the Cowboys,” Daniel said to Sports Illustrated. “Terrell is ready to contribute and play any role, big or small. He’s in outstanding shape. He looks no different than he did years ago. I watched him running routes full-speed with DeSean [Jackson] and he looked great. He didn’t drop a pass.”

As you can imagine, fans are a little concerned about this news. Simply put, they don’t think he can play at his age. Of course, playing at the age of 49 is unheard of in the NFL, and it is doubtful that he will actually get signed. Below, you can see some reactions from fans on Twitter.

Let us know where you think Owens should play, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Skip Bayless Debuts His Cowboys-Inspired Christmas Gift

by

Skip Bayless is one of the most polarizing people in the sports television world. Some people love him for his trolling, while others think he is the worst thing to happen to sports discourse. Overall, this has made him a huge money-maker for Fox Sports 1, and that is why he remains employed.

As many of you know, Skip is a huge fan of the Cowboys. This year, they have been having a solid season. On Christmas Eve, they defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in an incredibly entertaining matchup. Subsequently, Bayless was able to have the best Christmas ever.

Skip Bayless Celebrates

With Bayless feeling the Christmas cheer, he was able to have a good Sunday with his wife Ernestine. In the image down below, you can even see the sportscaster showcasing his new Dallas Cowboys poncho. Subsequently, we imagine he is going to wear this on the air whenever they win.

Today, Bayless was overjoyed while talking about his team. He noted that he thought the Cowboys played the perfect game, even if it was against the backup QB of the Eagles. Overall, Bayless is having the time of his life and he was ready for this moment.

“My Dallas Cowboys are going to have a very happy New Year. They made a statement that we are a potential Super Bowl team,” he said. “I give my Cowboys a 9 on the 1-10 impressive scale because there was no Jalen Hurts, but I do respect Gardner Minshew. I believe all told, this was their best game of the year.”

The Cowboys probably won’t win their division, however, they will be a threat in the postseason. If somehow they do win the title, then there is no stopping Bayless from being a complete menace.

Let us know what you think the Cowboys’ chances are, in the comments down below.
