My reaction before watching Pats is this: I felt watching it that Dallas is missing something. It’s almost as no one on the team belongs on the team if that makes sense? Like I feel like they are all destined to play somewhere else. I didn’t like Mike Mcartheys energy but then it again it was the first episode. It just really feels like the team is lacking a leader and they aren’t molded well together. But that is just first impression.

Robot surgery. It's newer but I got it on my shoulder. I have 3 little gashes, 6 total stitches. And boom, shoulder surgery. Super noninvasive, they basically by pass all the other stuff. You got healthy muscle and unhealthy muscle. In old surgery they use to have to cut past the good muscle to get to the bad muscle which meant more muscles that needed healing and therapy. Now they can go right to the injury, do what they need and get out, without damaging tons of surrounding tissue/muscle.

[@chadelliot2021]

Dak’s the real deal. Post Triplets years we always knocked Dallas for no leadership, and not playing for each other. That’s not this team. NFC East has been put on notice, if not the whole NFL. WFT will not go gently though. Gonna be a great year.

[@mondayandfriday9557]

Why would someone hate Zeke before Hard Knocks? "Man he eat McDonald's I love it". "Hey you guys McAfee says its okay for you Empty Heads to like Dak now". This is the "Gold Placard" New Media Standard. All the B.S rumors about "Trades", and "Teams and Players" conspiring together about Injuries and Surgeries. I didn't watch Footbal "Seriously" in 2020 for the first time in over 20yrs because I was sickened with the 50% "Drama" part of the Sports Production, I didn't watch the NFL at all after the Bucs lost their last Game in 2020 to the Chiefs because anyone who knows anything about "Storylines" and Sports Entertainment knows "What's What". But thanks to this Show I've been Cured of my "Love for Sports", Now I realize how much of a waste of time Sports are, "Thanks Pat", if it wasn't for you and Sports Host like yourself, I would have wasted more money on another Year of NFL Rewind.
