Whether Cowboys Fans Like It Or Not, The Dak Era Is Here
Dieter Kurtenbach

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo broke a bone in his back on just the third play of Thursday's preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks. This is Romo's fourth back injury in less than four years. This begs the question, have we seen the last of Tony Romo?

Tony Romo doesn't seem to think so. Romo told Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett during the game that he would be OK to return, but rookie Dak Prescott was put into the game at quarterback instead. However, Coach Garrett is optimistic that Tony Romo could still get the starting role for the season opener against the New York Giants. Romo himself said that he has no intention to retire despite his latest setback. The experts have been estimating that Romo will be out six to ten weeks, but Garrett hasn't confirmed that Dak Prescott will be starting on September 11th.

The fate of the Cowboys without Tony Romo seems to be in good hands, from what it looks like so far at least. In just a few preseason games, Dak Prescott has thrown five touchdown passes and ran for two touchdowns, with zero interceptions. With rookie RB Ezekiel Elliott and the stellar offensive line, Prescott should have no trouble with the Cowboys reliance on the run game. Nonetheless, Prescott still has to face first-string defenses, not preseason defenses. We're all eager to see if Prescott can keep up his preseason numbers or if they're just that: preseason numbers. Yet, I think all fans can agree that anyone is better than Kellen Moore.

Cowboys fans have shown mixed opinions when it comes to the recent injury of Tony Romo. Some support him and believe that he could still make a miraculous comeback despite his injury-plagued career. Others believe that he should hang up the cleats and allow the Cowboys to move on. Some have sworn off the season, already claiming another 4-12 or 8-8 finish. Others remain optimistic that Dak Prescott can carry the Cowboys to a winning season. No matter if you're Team Tony or Team Dak, this season will be interesting to watch. So buckle up Cowboys fans, we're in for another wild ride.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
