ESPN couldn’t help but roast the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys while bringing up the recent success of Big D’s other professional sports teams.
Seven months after the Texas Rangers of Major League Baseball celebrated their first World Series in franchise history, the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks and NHL’s Dallas Stars have qualified for the Western Conference Finals in their respective leagues. And then there are the Dallas Cowboys.
While discussing the success of the Mavericks, Stars and Rangers, ESPN used the opportunity to humiliate the Cowboys by displaying a graphic that’s not exactly flattering to Jerry Jones and company:
The Mavericks are up 1-0 on the Minnesota Timberwolves in their best-of-seven series, while the Stars will open up their Western Conference Finals series at home against Connor McDavid’s Edmonton Oilers tonight.
The Dallas Cowboys haven’t played in the NFC Championship Game since 1995, the same year last won the Super Bowl. Only the Washington Commanders, Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns have longer active conference title game appearance droughts.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones stated back in January that the team would have an “all-in” approach this offseason. But Dallas has surprisingly been among the quietest teams in both free agency and the trade market, having done most of their offseason work at the draft.
Dallas Cowboys Face A Critical Year Entering 2024
Both quarterback Dak Prescott and head coach Mike McCarthy are entering the final years of their contracts. Superstar wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will need an extension as he heads into the last year of his rookie deal, too.
If the Cowboys endure another early postseason exit, one has to wonder if Jones will finally wave the flag and make sweeping changes. It’s certainly interesting that he hasn’t extended his star quarterback as offseason training camp inches closer.
Prescott and the Cowboys will begin their season with a road clash against the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 8.
