data-mm-id=”_an2fi3he7″>The Dallas Cowboys spotted the Atlanta Falcons 20 points before staging a raging comeback and ultimately coming away victorious on Sunday. One of the decisions made during that comeback has been under a microscope today, and it's a fairly interesting discussion. The Cowboys were losing by 15 points. Dak Prescott tossed a touchdown pass to cut the lead to nine with 4:57 left in the final quarter. Head coach Mike McCarthy was then faced with a pivotal decision: should his team go for the two-point conversion and cut the lead to seven, or should they stick with the extra point to make it an eight-point game?McCarthy opted to go for it all and attempt the two-point try. Dallas failed, and instead of an eight-point game with just under five minutes left, it was …

It will also be remembered for the social-justice impact of those who entered the bubble. From start to finish, the league's players and personnel used their platform to promote societal reform and call for justice for those marginalized in our country. The strongest of those statements came from the Milwaukee Bucks, who turned every head in America when they decided to protest a playoff game against the Orlando Magic in the minutes leading up to tip-off. It came in the days after the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and the riots that followed after the shooting of yet another unarmed black man by police. It sparked a movement that spanned s…

data-mm-id=”_6mhx3nyjl”>Business cards sound like the latest topic of a Greg Cote Back in My Day essay, as they've become less important with the advent of the internet, which is essentially a business card everyone can carry around in their pocket. But there a time not so long ago where having a card that truly meant business helped drum up business. The dark side of this competitive world was explored quite thoughtfully in American Psycho which caused a tremendous explosion of popularity in the bone- and bone-adjacent color palate. And seeing opportunity, many self-appointed experts were available any time, day or night, to go on camera and talk about their specific area of expertise.Like this guy, who appears to be some sort of mashup of Mighty Ducks-era Emilio Estevez and Mich…

data-mm-id=”_tqwesbk0s”>James Harden raised a big stink in Philadelphia, eventually wearing Daryl Morey down to a place where he had no choice but to send the mercurial southpaw to the Los Angeles Clippers. Harden seems happy enough in his new town to not pout about playing basketball, but it is very early and things aren't going well. So stay tuned. Things have not exactly been all butterflies and rainbows for Steve Ballmer's franchise since pulling the trigger on their high-risk new investment. Last night they fell at home to the previously 1-8 Memphis Grizzles. Harden had a look at a potentially game-tying triple with about 40 seconds remaining and couldn't even manage to hit the rim.

I'm sure it's not a big deal. That said, the Chiefs have to be bothered by how they're playing so far on Sunday. It was a big opportunity for them to r…
