Discussing the trials and tribulations of the four Dallas sports teams and their struggles to win a championship in the new millennium.

The NFL is full of surprises. This is obvious. Just look at the 2022-23 NFL season. Can you see some surprises? I can. For example, the Seattle Seahawks made the playoffs? The Defending Super Bowl Champion Rams went 5-12 and ended the year with Baker Mayfield as their starting quarterback? Imagine telling someone before the season that this would...
This article is the final installment in a series titled “The Plight of Dallas Sports Teams Since 2000,” in which I take a look at each of the four major Dallas sports teams and reflect on their playoff struggles, ultimately investigating the causes of their woes. With the other Dallas sports teams, including the Mavs, Stars, and Cowboys, the playoffs were...
Intro Game two against the Mavericks and Jazz was one of the best Mavericks playoff games of all time. The Mavericks without Luka battled all 48 minutes to beat the Jazz 110-104, as they scorched the Jazz from beyond the arc, hitting a franchise-record of 22 threes. This was a game for the ages for any Mavs fan. But for...

The big blue stars of Texas have been a very unsuccessful team in the National Football League for years, even decades. The last time the team won a Super Bowl...

The Stars losing to the Blues in the 2nd round in Game seven last year. Tony Romo fumbling the hold and getting tackled by a Seahawks player to lose the wild card game. These images...
This article is part of an ongoing series titled "The Plight of Dallas Sports Teams Since 2000," where I take a look at each of the four major Dallas sports teams and reflect on their playoff struggles, ultimately investigating the causes of their woes. Already I know what you're thinking. The Mavs are the one exception to this series because...
America's Team just won against the Houston Texans 34-0 in Week 3 of the NFL Preseason. While this result may seem meaningless, there are some important takeaways from the game that can translate into the regular season, with or without Zeke. Tony Pollard While 2016 first-round draft pick and 2-time rushing leader Ezekiel Elliott continues to sit out preseason games and...
Since 2000, the Cowboys have made the playoff nine times. But those years have been marked with playoff disappointment, with them never making an NFC championship in any of those nine playoff years. The Cowboys have won only three games in those nine playoff years, with the last coming in 2018. Although they might not have a lot of...
