The Cowboys, with players nearing the end of their primes and some just entering it, are trying to thread the needle. If the season doesn’t end in February, changes beckon.

Carolina Panthers coach Frank Reich announced Bryce Young is the team’s starting quarterback on Wednesday.
MLB has extended commissioner Rob Manfred through January 2029, which puts him in line to guide the owners through another round of collective bargaining.
We’re two camps in, and you all are clearly amped for football to get going. Let’s dive in …
From A L E X (@AlexLeeSays): Any truth to Belichick on the hot seat this season?
Alex, do I think the Krafts are worried about the direction of the franchise? Yeah, I do, and I think a lot of that is because they got used to being seen as a model franchise, and a marquee draw, for so long that the feeling of being off that stage has created a decent amount of discomfort in Foxboro.
The Reds and Brewers have had a very eventful series this week.
First, there was Elly De La Cruz’s absolute moonshot of a home run after the Brewers’ scoreboard crew trolled him with a funny message.
The same scoreboard crew had a perfect response to that the next day when De La Cruz came up to bat.
But neither of those funny moments might top what we saw in Wednesday’s series finale – Joey Wiemer’s absolutely laughable attempt to score in the third inning. This poor guy was never even close to being safe.
Georgia has seemingly unseated Alabama as the premier college football powerhouse. The Bulldogs, winners of the last two national titles, are the betting favorites to win their third in a row, something no team has accomplished in over 80 years.
Minnesota was the last team to do so, from 1934-36. Yale, from 1886-88, is the only other program that’s successfully three-peated. So UGA is in rare territory heading into 2023. Despite the turnover in Athens, coach Kirby Smart returns a team capable of running it back, again.
Yates noted that everyone involved was an injured party, regardless of which side of the abuse they were on.
The New York Giants-Saquon Barkley saga finally came to an end this week. The running back agreed to a one-year contract to play for the team this season. That allowed him to not play under the team’s franchise tag this year.
With that contract signing, Barkley returned to Giants practice. The team released a video of him making a nice grab in the endzone with a toe-drag. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones couldn’t find anyone open, rolled to his right, and found Barkley.
The pass took Barkley outside the endzone, but he managed to sneak both feet in-bounds for the score.
More than two weeks have lapsed since Northwestern fired coach Pat Fitzgerald after an investigation found rampant hazing within the football program. Since then, athletic director Derrick Gragg has largely been absent, as controversy has swirled around everything from the hiring of since-fired baseball coach Jim Foster to comments Gragg made about women in a book he wrote.
On Wednesday morning, Gragg gave his first interview since the firing to ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg, pledging the eradication of hazing within the Wildcats’ athletic programs.
