The Cowboys and 49ers have had many memorable battles over the years, but don’t remind Dak Prescott about past meetings.
Prescott appeared agitated after a reporter reminded him of his lackluster performance during the postseason loss to the 49ers that ended the Cowboys’ 2022 season. But don’t worry, Dak. We only look forward here.
The 49ers (4–0) hosting the Cowboys (3–1) is without a doubt the best game on the Week 5 NFL schedule. This game, however, lost a little sizzle after the Cowboys fell to the Cardinals in Week 3. Oh, wait, gotta look forward.

Flubs and mistakes aren’t that common at the highest level of sports broadcasting, but from time-to-time, it’s expected a slip-up will happen. But then there’s whatever Karl Ravech did on Wednesday.

The Miami Marlins were swept out of the playoffs by the Phillies on Wednesday night and one of their biggest fans who is usually seen sitting right behind home plate during big games, was nowhere near Philadelphia to take in the two games.
Instead, Marlins Man was in Milwaukee where he watched both of the Diamondbacks-Brewers playoff games. 
Many fans watching those Brewers-Diamondbacks games were confused to see the famous fan, who in real life is a lawyer named Laurence Leavy, sitting behind home plate while his Marlins were fighting for their lives in Philadelphia.

We have seen some of these wildest props used on college football sidelines to celebrate turnovers, but FIU just won the award for most creative, with a cannon.
Playing on the road at New Mexico State on Wednesday night, the Panthers were looking for their fourth win of the season, while also hunting for turnovers.
As we’ve see in the past, some schools pull out all the creative ideas for rallying a team on the sidelines. Colorado has a massive thrown, Georgia uses spiked shoulder pads, Miami had the turnover chain, while Ole Miss likes to use a fire extinguisher.

It’s far from a common occurrence to have a report come out as to why an NBA coach chose to sign one player over another. But a coach speaking publicly about that type of topic is almost unheard of, which is why the recent comments from Rockets coach Ime Udoka on James Harden and free agency were so noteworthy.
Udoka, who’s entering his first season as Houston’s coach, discussed the team’s free-agency pursuit of former Raptors guard Fred VanVleet, and more specifically, why they chose to sign him over pursuing a reunion with James Harden.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback is earning $870,000 this season, plus any other off-field endorsements, which is much more than the vast majority of 23-year-olds around the world. While NFL quarterbacks have little in common with regular everyday Joes, Purdy is an outlier given the fact that he still lives with a roommate.
The former Iowa State quarterback lives with one of the 49ers’ offensive linemen and explained on ‘Today’ that the two still split rent.
“So I still have a roommate, one of the offensive linemen here,” Purdy said.
