1. You know how the band was called 10,000 Maniacs but actually it was just Natalie Merchant and four, sometimes five, other people? So, at most, six maniacs? Well, this headline is kind of like that, in that I don’t have literally 10,000 reasons the Cowboys are better than you think. That’s the bad news. But the good news is that this will be actual reasons the Cowboys are better than you think, whereas I’m not sure the Natalie Merchant and her bandmates were clinically diagnosed with anything.
When I sat down to write about the Dallas Cowboys this week—something no one on the internet has ever done as far as I can tell—I expected to be laying out an argument for why, due to their unsustainable takeaway rate, they’d be coming back down and nestling in with the second-tier contenders in the NFC.
