The Cowboys’ struggles on the road continued Sunday when the team looked completely outclassed by the Bills in a blowout loss. Dallas lost 31–10, and after the game, star linebacker Micah Parsons ripped his team for coming up short yet again when not playing at home.
“Honestly, it’s unacceptable at this point,” Parsons told reporters after the game. “There’s no excuse for it. It’s mind-boggling and I don’t understand why we’re not playing well, and why we’re not coming together on the road.

As the 3–11 Patriots suffer through their worst season under Bill Belichick, rumors are swirling about the 71-year-old coach’s future with the team.
Fans and pundits wonder whether Belichick, who sits 27 regular-season wins behind all-time leader Don Shula, will get a chance to break the record with New England. Indeed, a recent report from NBC Sports Boston insider Tom Curran stated that the team already has decided to move on from Belichick after the season. Belichick was asked about the report last week but deflected the question.

Rest in peace, Eric.
Eric Montross was a towering figure whose physical stature was far surpassed by his enormous heart. On Monday the University of North Carolina sadly announced that Montross passed away at the age of 52, following an almost year-long battle with cancer which was announced publicly in March of 2023.
Montross was a midwestern basketball legend before he ever set foot at Chapel Hill. A McDonald’s All-American, Montross was a true 7-footer during his senior year of high school at Lawrence North in Indianapolis.
Eric Montross, who starred at North Carolina under legendary coach Dean Smith in the early 1990s before an eight year NBA career, died Sunday after being diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. He was 52.
His death sparked an outpouring of tributes and support from around the college basketball world, who recognized him for both his skill on the floor and the type of human he was off of it.
Welcome to the third week of December, also known in the NASCAR garage as the annual put a ring on it week.
It could be an an engagement ring, wedding ring, promise ring (they still exist?) — doesn’t matter. But it’s ring week in NASCAR and, right on cue, the sport’s most recent champion finally listened to me and put one on a Hooters Hall of Famer.
What a year for Ryan damn Blaney!
In the least surprising twist since the Titanic did, indeed, hit the iceberg in James Cameron’s 1997 film, Blaney and Gianna Tulio hit the mountains last week and got engaged.
The family of former North Carolina great Eric Montross announced Monday that the former Tar Heels center and NBA veteran died Sunday after a battle with cancer. He was 52.
He was surrounded by loved ones at his home at the time of his death. Montross was diagnosed with cancer in March 2023.
“Carolina Athletics, the Tar Heel basketball family and the entire University community are profoundly saddened and stunned by the loss of Eric Montross, one of our most beloved former student-athletes, at far too young an age,” a statement from the North Carolina athletic department read.
Last week, we told you about one of the most lopsided college basketball games you’ll ever see. But one college hoops fan just compiled the highlights (and lowlights) from the game, and you’d have to see them to believe it.
The matchup took place on Dec. 10 between North Dakota State and non-Division I Oak Hills Christian, a tiny school in Bemidji, Minn. with a listed enrollment of just 100 students and a coach who doubles as a faculty member for the school’s business program. The final score of 108–14 is pretty ugly, but somehow, the video makes it so much worse.
NBC rules analyst Terry McAulay felt that the officials missed a call that would have given the Jaguars, who lost to the Ravens 23—7 on Sunday night, a touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
Jacksonville drove 55 yards down the field into the red zone, where quarterback Trevor Lawrence fired a pass intended for Calvin Ridley to the back of the end zone. Ridley bobbled the ball as he was heading out of bounds, and officials ruled it an incomplete pass.
Jaguars coach Doug Pederson challenged the call—and ultimately lost.
One of the few aspects that has been made public about the proposed merger between the PGA Tour and the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF) is that the two sides plan on creating a yet-to-be-named for-profit entity.
This has raised red flags regarding the Tour’s current non-profit tax-exempt status, and some in Congress are calling on the Tour to start paying their share.
Congressmen Vern Buchanan (R-FL) and Mike Thompson (D-CA) have introduced legislation to revoke the PGA Tour’s tax-exempt status as a 501 (c)(6) nonprofit.
