DeMarcus Ware wants to see effort from the Cowboys
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.

More than 100 people gathered Friday night at a high school near the sealed‑off blast zone to honor the victims of the deadly explosion at The Clyde apartments in Oak Cliff.
The vigil – filled with hymns, prayers, and candles – brought together neighbors, local leaders, and pastors, many of whom were personally connected to those who died.
Just down the street, the debris field marks where three people were killed and five others injured when an explosion and fire tore through the complex earlier in the day.
Remembering Sylvia Collins
Among those honored was Sylvia Collins, a Democratic Party precinct chair known for her energy, advocacy, and signature raised‑fist rally pose.
State Rep. Cassandra Garcia‑Hernandez reflected on the loss, saying she couldn’t imagine taking another “fist‑up photo” with Collins.
State Sen. Royce West urged the community to remember Collins by continuing the work she championed.
Authorities have not yet released the names of the other two victims, believed to be a young woman and her toddler.
Search and Recovery Complete, Cause Still Unknown
Dallas Fire‑Rescue Chief Justin Ball confirmed that the search and recovery phase is complete, though he declined to comment on whether construction crews digging near the property may have struck a natural gas line before the blast.
Ball also defended the actions of firefighters who were on scene for up to 10 minutes before the explosion without ordering evacuations. He said crews first had to locate the source of the gas odor, secure a water supply, and gear up before they could begin clearing the building.
Lawsuit Filed Against Atmos Energy
One survivor has already filed a lawsuit against Atmos Energy, accusing the utility of failing to properly monitor for gas leaks. Attorney Sadi Antonmattei‑Goitia said incidents like this “don’t happen without bad decisions being made.”
Atmos did not respond to questions about the lawsuit but issued a statement saying the company’s “hearts go out to the people who were tragically lost, their families, and everyone who has been impacted.”
