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.

Preseason football performance is like 'Play-Doh' that fans can mold to fit whatever narrative they want to believe about their team

Preseason really is just, it's like a Play-Doh that you can just mold to however you want to feel about your team going into the regular season. You can twist what you're watching in a preseason game to fit however you want. If Justin Fields comes out and he's awesome, I'd be like, well, this is incredible. If he stinks, I'd be like, well, COVID, preseason.

This is an observation about fan behavior and the nature of preseason football, which is inherently subjective.

If Ben Affleck put on a baseball uniform and walked into the corn at the Field of Dreams, he would look like a 'loser'

All I'm going to say is if Ben Affleck tried to put on a baseball uniform and walk into the Field of Dreams corn stalks, I think he would look like a loser. I think we can all agree on that, right?

The aesthetic appeal of Ben Affleck in a baseball uniform is a matter of pure opinion.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.
