ESPN had it right all along.

Why The Dallas Cowboys Won't Win Another Game This Season
(Left To Right) Dallas Morning News/ USA Today/ ESPN

That's it! Yesterday was the last straw. The final win the Cowboys will have in 2016. The experts at ESPN (I'm looking at you Stephen A. Smith) had the Cowboys finishing the season 8-8. And after week 1 boy were they elated. The "accident waiting to happen" just happened against the Giants. The experts seemed to be right, and the Cowboys seemed destined for another subpar season...

Yet here we are now. "How about then Cowboys!" can be heard ringing throughout the air in every corner of the lone star state. Nine weeks later and America's team sits atop the NFC. Eight wins in a row, defeating the likes of Aaron Rodgers and Big Ben, along with wins over the arch rival Eagles and the overhyped Redskins. Not only that, but the Cowboys just seem to get better and better every time they step on the field. With Dez now healthy and making plays like the ones he made yesterday, the ceiling for this team just keeps getting higher.

Not only is Dez hitting stride, but 'Zeke is far removed from that week 1 2.5 yards-per-carry performance. Having over 200 yards and 3 TD's yesterday (along with the game winner) the NFL's leading rusher looks poised to keep tracking up as this season progresses.

The defense is clicking, Dez is starting to come into form, Zeke is showing he was worth the #4 overall pick, the play calling has been great, everything seems to be going great, and none of that is even the best thins we have going for us this season.

Dak Prescott. 4th round pick. Rookie. Was a backup.

Now he's an MVP Candidate.

Dak Prescott has shocked the world and gone from a late round project to the face of America's team in the span of only a few months. He is a humble guy who leads by the example and the team has wholly responded to him taking the reigns. When Romo went down with yet another back injury Prescott stepped up and filled the role masterfully. When there was a big chance Dak would have to sit when Tony got healthy, Prescott was open about how he was just wanted his team to win and how he would make sure he didn't become a distraction. Well, his play had made sure that won't happen. With the announcement coming out that Romo will backup Dak next week it seems that everything is finally moving in the right direction in big D.

That's something Cowboys Nation hasn't been able to say for a very long time. Their team is young and athletic yet it plays poised and mature. The Cowboys look like the team of the future.

But too bad this season none of that matters and it's all coming to an end. As we all know, all those million dollar analysts at ESPN couldn't possibly have been this wrong about our Cowboys, could they?

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
