There is no lightning rod in the NFL like the Dallas Cowboys. Just throw them into any sports conversation and watch the sparks inevitably fly. Two wide receivers who formerly wore the star saw it firsthand in recent days. One supported his new quarterback by comparing him favorably to Dak Prescott, and that set off a firestorm. Then another simply praised Prescott’s leadership qualities, and riled up another of his ex-fanbases who took it as criticism of their current passer. The games can’t come soon enough…
Meanwhile, we’re looking at early reviews of the team’s first-round draft pick, we’re guessing who could be in for bigger roles in 2023, we’re tempering expectations for a repeat year from Dorance Armstrong, and we’re wondering if Mike McCarthy adding playcalling duties is really that big a deal after all.

That and more are in this edition of News and Notes.
