The Dallas Cowboys have a lot going on these days. On the surface they appear to be a .500 team through six games which sounds fine and far from the worst case scenario; however, the way that Dallas has gotten here has been rather troubling with them surrendering a ton on defense and barely getting anything done on offense.
Ultimately fans are questioning just about everything with the team right now – something that Jerry Jones does not seem to be a fan of – and in the process the word “soft” has been thrown around. This is a heavy accusation to toss out about anybody else, a point that I brought up to DeMarcus Ware when I spoke to him on Wednesday.
You a can watch our entire conversation below.
The setup to Ware included noting that the word “soft” is indeed a bit of an unfair one to offer out given that we do not know full and total circumstances. Given who he is and what he has accomplished, I was curious for his perspective and he noted that he believes effort is more of an issue.
Ware mentioned that when the Cowboys fall into big holes, something that is unfortunately happening quite often, that the effort seems to disappear a bit. It is hard to disagree with that claim.
Seasons past saw the Cowboys build leads on their opponents and punch from above, so to speak, and with them trailing so much this season it has felt like they were content to let matters pass them by. Of course that has not been the case in every game, look at how the team rallied late against the Pittsburgh Steelers as an example.
We are extremely grateful to DeMarcus Ware for the time and his insight, and if you want to hang out with him then you can do so this week! Ware joined us on behalf of a partnership with Sam’s Club Café and the grand opening of one that he will be attending on Thursday, October 17th.
To celebrate the Sam’s Club Café opening, Pepsi has teamed up with local legend DeMarcus Ware, who will be on-site for a meet and greet and photo opportunities with fans from 2 to 3 pm on Thursday, October 17.
Sam’s Club Café will be offering free pizza samples, powered by Pepsi – which complements Sam’s Club Café offerings perfectly when paired together.

Our thanks to DeMarcus Ware and Sam’s for the time!
The Memphis Grizzlies are hoping to bounce back as they take Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks.
To learn more about Flagg and the Mavs, we spoke with Dallas Mavericks On SI contributor Austin Veazey.
He’s been… fine? Jason Kidd tried rolling him out at point guard to start the season, which was leading to poor results for the entire offense, but specifically Flagg. He just isn’t a point guard. He may have good playmaking instincts, but he’s best as a secondary playmaker. It’s no surprise that he then turned in arguably his best performance on Wednesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans, because Kidd didn’t start him at point guard.
The question isn’t how much they miss Kyrie Irving, it’s how much do they miss Luka Doncic. And it’s a lot. Even Kyrie Irving has been at his best in his career when he has a better playmaker on the roster, and he can do what he does best: score. Even if Irving were here, there’s no guarantee this would even be a league-average offense, because the offense has no spacing as it’s designed right now.
I kind of doubt it, unless they were to move Irving as well. Doncic and Irving worked so well together because Doncic was a bigger body and could guard other teams’ power forwards. A backcourt of Morant and Irving probably wouldn’t work well, but that wouldn’t stop Nico Harrison from trying something crazy.
Maybe not being the worst offense in the NBA? Just an idea. But how they go about doing that is beyond me. This team just lacks the natural playmakers and shooters to survive in this era of the NBA.
The vibes around both of these teams are horrendous right now. Between the Ja Morant suspension, Anthony Davis’ calf strain, and the Mavs losing to teams such as the Pelicans and Wizards, I think most Mavs fans want a close loss with Cooper Flagg developing so it gets one step closer to firing Nico Harrison.

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Marshawn Kneeland tragically died at age 24 from an apparent suicide on Wednesday, two days after scoring his first NFL touchdown, prompting mourning across the league and raising awareness about mental health crises among athletes.
In the hands of Chris Wolston, even the most ordinary object — a chair, lamp or credenza — becomes something more whimsical, playful and quirky.
The artist has built a stellar reputation in the design world for his anthropomorphic rattan chairs (complete with bums and feet). Yet the array of pieces on display in his first solo museum show at Dallas Contemporary reveals there’s much more to his oeuvre.
Displayed across four catwalks, reminiscent of a fashion show or drag ball, are sculpted chairs in terra-cotta adorned with metal insects, a bronze coffee table cast from leaves found in the artist’s garden and chairs inspired by the gestural limbs of supermodels. Handwoven carpets from Morocco on the walls are interspersed with video works highlighting Wolston’s process filmed by his husband, the filmmaker David Sierra. Together, they recall a fantasy world of objects both functional and sculptural.
“I always find that through humor, there’s an interesting entry point for people — it breaks down a barrier,” says artist Chris Wolston. “And I was always drawn to furniture as a medium because it’s accessible, it’s egalitarian.” Dallas Contemporary
Wolston has been walking the tightrope between craft and art with a humorous twist since he made his first terra-cotta chairs in 2014. Drawn to the relationship between materiality and everyday life, he naturally embraced furniture as his medium.
“I started working with the (contemporary design gallery) The Future Perfect, and then we started doing these body chairs for a chair show,” he says. “I always find that through humor, there’s an interesting entry point for people — it breaks down a barrier. And I was always drawn to furniture as a medium because it’s accessible, it’s egalitarian.”
Having initially studied glassmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design, Wolston earned a Fulbright to study pre-Columbian ceramics in Colombia, prompting him to settle his studio in the city of Medellín. He found his entry point into raw ingredients by working with natural terra-cotta clay found in the mountains surrounding the city, and has since cycled through bronze, rattan, anodized aluminum and shearling.
Curated by Glenn Adamson, former director of the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, Profile in Ecstasy highlights a decade-plus of work that led Wolston to discover the throughlines behind his various collections, whether they be nods to fashion and nature, Spanish modernism or subtle surrealism.
“These themes that exist in an artist’s practice emerge when a new collection emerges,” Wolston says. “It’s interesting to see how collections made at different times with totally different materials and thought processes at play resonate with one another.”
Chris Wolston: Profile in Ecstasy is on view at Dallas Contemporary from Nov. 7 through Feb. 1, 2026.
