The Netflix series explains to much of the Micah Parsons debacle. Jerry has to be the star.

Jerry Jones on facing Micah Parsons, via Jon Machota:
"While he does make great plays, there is also a way to approach playing against Micah. As we know, we didn't exactly win the Super Bowl those years."

Crazy stat. Even crazier that they tracked it in 2016

VJ Edgecombe will be a star. Watch his highlights playing with grown men, international spacing for Bahamian National Team.
College spacing didn’t cater to what he will do in the pros. Superstar potential.

Saquon was nervous, nervous to start the pregame sideline interview.
Watched him conquer his emotions in real time. Left the interview focused and hyped.
Subtle but noticeable shift over the course of 60 seconds. That’s a professional.

Are they pumping the Kansas City Chiefs fan chant through the speakers?
Sounded like a lot of boos for the Chiefs.

This trade makes no sense to me. Mavs must know something we don’t about Luka’s commitment and work ethic.
Luka doesn’t really even fit well with LeBron on the floor. For the Lakers this is a changing of the guard trade, LeBron must be on his way to retirement.
