Dak Prescott’s ‘You Couldn’t Wear Red?’ Remark to Erin Andrews Resurfaces
During a Christmas Eve 2022 matchup, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott teased sideline reporter Erin Andrews for wearing a green suit—Philadelphia Eagles’ color—asking, “You couldn’t wear red?” Andrews retorted that she wore red for Thanksgiving.

Former teammate and three‑time champion Nate Newton warned Aikman on the Cowboys Country Football podcast that the organization operates like a "dictatorship," not a committee, and urged him to consider other teams. Meanwhile, Aikman’s relationship with fellow broadcaster Joe Buck soured after Buck’s secret six‑year, $108 million ESPN extension was kept from him, leading to a heated exchange before a Monday Night Football game.

Analysts on the "Go Get Pod" slam former Dallas Cowboys star Troy Aikman's reported $30 million‑a‑year salary demand from ESPN, saying the figure far exceeds even Tom Brady's $38 million deal and is unrealistic for a broadcaster. While ESPN recently locked in a massive extension for Aikman's partner Joe Buck, Aikman's contract talks remain stalled amid reports of tension with Buck and a rejected compromise that would mirror Buck's raise. The uncertainty threatens the Monday Night Football booth and could force ESPN to reshuffle its NFL coverage.
Cowboys vs Cardinals: Writer predictions for Week 8
The Cowboys head into Week 8 at home after a 38‑21 win over Philadelphia, aiming to turn that momentum into a third straight victory against a struggling 2‑5 Cardinals squad. Arizona will lean on QB Jacoby Brissett and tight end Trey McBride, who posted 111 receiving yards last week, while Dallas looks to repeat its balanced attack with Javonte Williams' 155‑yard rushing performance and Dak Prescott’s efficient passing. Defensive pressure is key, as the Cowboys need to translate a season‑low ten sacks into more turnovers. BTB writers’ predictions range from a 34‑19 Dallas blowout to a tight 24‑21 win, reflecting the game’s uncertainty.
P.J. Locke III finally off IR in Cowboys’ latest batch of roster moves
The Dallas Cowboys activate safety P.J. Locke III from injured reserve ahead of their Week 8 clash with the Arizona Cardinals.

Returner KaVontae Turpin (ribs) and linebacker Dee Winters (calf) are out, while receiver George Pickens is questionable.

It’s been a very long time since the Cowboys won a home game vs. Cardinals
The Dallas Cowboys are still searching for a home victory over the Arizona Cardinals – their last win at Texas Stadium came in 2005.

Despite a revamped roster and new head coach Mike LaFleur, key players like QB Jacoby Brissett, WR CeeDee Lamb, and safety Budda Baker remain unchanged, and Lamb admits the Cardinals always bring more energy. A win this Sunday would snap a 20‑year home drought and keep Dallas afloat in the NFC East after a recent loss to the Eagles.
