Good time for “Hard Knocks”
I believe in my soul that the producers of the HBO preseason camp docu-series “Hard Knocks” would take the Dallas Cowboys every season.
Sure, getting one look behind the curtain of the all-powerful Beli-Oz would be intriguing, too, but let’s be clear. That ain’t happenin’ anytime soon.
So the Cowboys take the center stage, as they always do, because of their logo, their history, their uniforms, their owner and all the rest that goes into making them America’s Team.
(Side note: Most of y’all know I grew up in Smyrna, a small burg just northwest of the A-T-L. I attended more Braves and Falcons games than I can count and have remained fans of both. But in the 1970s, rooting for the Braves and Falcons was akin to rooting for the teenagers making out near Crystal Lake with Jason Voorhies looming in the dark.)
So as the Braves and Falcons sprinted to the cellar and with limited viewing options of which teams would be the TV on the weekends, I also followed the Dodgers and, of course, the Cowboys. (Side note: In the 1970s NFL, you were either a fan of your hometown team, the Cowboys, the Steelers or maybe the Dolphins, Rams or maybe the artists now known as the Washington Football Team.)
And I still follow the Cowboys, through all the drama and disappointment and underachieving that has happened since Jerry and Jimmy split because Jerry got his plastic-surgery-revamped nose out of joint.
So I’m in tonight. Big time. For Dak and Zeke. For the coaching hot seat drama and the Jerry Jones interviews. I’m there for the traditional rookie pranks and which long shot the cameras follow to see if he makes the club.
Who’s with me?
Speaking of ‘Hard Knocks’
Well, that got a little sidetracked, no?
I was going to include this above but felt we needed to break away.
Big picture, what we can bet on these days is nuts. Like literally nuts. Presidential elections. Prop bets on Gatorade baths and coin flips.
And, our friends at SportsBetting.ag, have embraced the lure – and our love for football – of the Cowboys with a slew of “Hard Knocks” prop bets.
The odds are subject to change of course, but as of Monday, here’s a list of some of the “Hard Knocks” betting options:
Who will speak first?
-Dak Prescott +150 (bet $100 and win $150)
– Ezekiel Elliott +200
– CeeDee Lamb +300
– Amari Cooper +350
