Hall of Fame head coach Jimmy Johnson knows just how hard it is to take over a team down on their luck and turn it into a winner. He took over a Dallas Cowboys team fresh off a 3-13 season in 1988. In Johnson’s first season with the Cowboys in 1989 he won just one

For the most part, the NFC disappointed in 2022. At the bottom of the conference, the Bears, Cardinals, and Rams all finished as bottom-six teams in the league.

Super Bowl 57 came and went with spectacle, fanfare, and of course, controversy, like seemingly every big game these days. The football was fun, up until the last two minutes. I wasn’t a fan of the halftime show, but there seems to be a spectrum of opinions on that. One thing we can all unite…
