Cowboys fans should be freaking out about Dak Prescott needing a second MRI

But QB Dak Prescott is planning on getting another MRI... if you're a Cowboys fan, you have to be freaking out right now.

While Dak did miss the preseason and some time later in the season (calf), he started 16 games in 2021. The 'freak out' over this specific shoulder MRI proved to be slightly overblown as he played Week 1.

Dak Prescott should have teammates tackle him in practice to stop overthinking his injury

If I'm Dak... even if my shoulder is still not good to go right now, I would still have people do, like, tackling drills against me in practice where I would get hit because you've got to get that first hit out of your system to stop thinking about it all the time. I would just have people, like, tackle me into a big mat so I didn't hurt my shoulder falling on it.

Dak Prescott did not do this. He returned to play in Week 1 against the Bucs and threw for 403 yards, showing the 'psychological' hurdle was handled through traditional rehab.

Major League Baseball made a mistake by having an outfield fence at the Field of Dreams game

I think if they play this game in Iowa, they should not have an outfield fence... It should just be the corn. If there's like a grounder that would bounce into the wall, they have to run into the corn and try to grab the ball... that's probably the biggest mistake that Major League Baseball has made this week.

The game was a massive success with the fence, ending in a dramatic walk-off home run into the corn. The lack of a fence would have likely made the game unplayable by MLB standards.

Nick Saban could make Alabama the number one soccer team in the world immediately

I know we joke, but if Nick Saban and the Alabama football team decided they wanted to be number one soccer team in the world, they would. Immediately. Zero training. Yes, they just would.

Inherently untestable, but objectively false given the technical skill gaps between American football players and world-class soccer players.

US vs Mexico is no longer a soccer rivalry because the US wins every time

I would actually go as far as to say that it's not even a rivalry. A rivalry implies that both teams win occasionally. And if you look back at the history of our last two League of Nations Golden Cups, it's just basically us showing up out there.

While the US did have a great run (the 'Dos a Cero' era continued), Mexico won matches later, and rivalries are based on more than just a 1-2 year window. In 2021, the US definitely had the upper hand.

Every NBA team should have a 13th roster spot reserved for a 40+ year old legend

There should be just a 13-man on every team that's like a million dollars. Everyone gets it, and it has to be, the player has to be 40 years or older. Just so we can see, like, imagine Shaq just standing on a sideline. Just every now and then, just let him go in.

The NBA has not implemented this, though the 'Udonis Haslem' role essentially exists unofficially for many teams.

I will quit my job if Sam Ehlinger has a better NFL career than Trevor Lawrence

Billy, if Sam Ehlinger has a better career than Trevor Lawrence, I will quit my job. My only job in life would be to be your PR agent to just remind people... That's my promise to you.

Trevor Lawrence became a franchise QB and led his team to a playoff win; Ehlinger has remained a career backup/spot starter. The prediction is looking very safe.

I am officially in on the Chicago Bears and betting on them for the 2021 season

By the way, I think I'm in on the Bears this year. The clips that have been coming out of training camp are incredible. No, I'm serious. I bet on them. I put a future down... Let me be the first to say the Bears are back.

The 2021 Bears finished 6-11 and were definitely not 'back'. Justin Fields struggled as a rookie and Matt Nagy was fired at the end of the season.

Elephants think humans are cute in the same way we think puppies are cute

Elephants look at humans like humans look at puppies. Elephants think that humans are cute the same way we think puppies are cute because we're like small creatures to them.

This is a widespread internet myth. While some studies suggest elephants respond to humans with positive brain activity, there is no scientific evidence they perceive us as 'cute' in the human sense.

You will never have a six-pack for next year's Grit Week either

I'm not trying to be a hater, but I don't think you'll have a six-pack for next grit week either. [to Billy Football]

Billy Football generally remained fit but never achieved the shredded 'six-pack' aesthetic he promised for show milestones.
