Cowboys-Eagles megapreview: Jalen Hurts' task, George Pickens' role, bets I like, prediction and more

The Red Sox trade of Rafael Devers wasn't just about beef with chief baseball officer Craig Breslow.

It was a rupture of an organization that has quietly been unraveling from the inside since the trade of Mookie Betts.
