1 week ago | dallasobserver.com | Matt McClearin

The NFL Draft is just two weeks away and is one of my favorite weekends on the sports calendar. It melds together two of my favorite sports: pro football and college football. I’ve always loved the wall-to-wall coverage The Ticket provides, and I’m stoked to be a part of it this year.

Four major sports franchises in North Texas are worth billions of dollars in total, including the single most valuable sports franchise on Earth. However, the least valuable local team is the one that the others should model themselves after.According to the Dallas Cowboys are worth $10.1 billion. No other franchise in any sport is worth more than $8.8 billion. And yet, at least until very recently, the Cowboys would be voted the local team run the poorest.

With his decision to hang it up, another window of Cowboys championship opportunity has now officially closed as far as we see it.Let this be clear, this has nothing to do with Martin as a player. The athlete drafted out of Notre Dame in 2014 will walk into the Hall of Fame in five years on the first ballot as he's one of the greatest guards to ever play the game.

Saturday, Feb. 1, at 11:23 p.m., while I was in New Orleans with my Ticket cohorts to begin broadcasting from the Super Bowl media center, I got a call that stunned me to my core. My wife FaceTimed me, which never happens.She was calling to tell me that Luka Doncic had been traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.My response? “Hahaha, OK, there is no way that is true. You misheard the report or something. What is actually happening?”Alas, the report was, shockingly, correct.

Does It Even Matter Who the Cowboys Hire Next?

Jan 16, 2025 | dallasobserver.com | Matt McClearin

The Mike McCarthy era is over for the Dallas Cowboys. Five seasons, 84 regular season games, four playoff games. While his 49-35 regular season record is impressive, his single playoff win in those five seasons certainly is not.It’s hard to know why McCarthy didn’t have more success in the postseason. Perhaps it’s connected to the utter dysfunction within the operations of the franchise from the top down, but it was time to move on, regardless of the reasons.
New Year's Resolutions for the Dallas Cowboys

Jan 1, 2025 | dallasobserver.com | Matt McClearin

It’s that time of year when we all look within to take inventory of some items that we want to change or work on in 2025.

You might want to save more money or spend more time with family and friends. Perhaps you have a more specific goal, like running a marathon or climbing Mt. Everest.

Nov 8, 2024 | dallasobserver.com | Matt McClearin

It’s time we start being honest with ourselves and recognize what is wrong with the 2024 version of the Dallas Cowboys and the current state of this franchise. It’s rotten. Merriam-Webster defines the word “rotten” as putrid, extremely unpleasant or inferior, very uncomfortable or of very poor quality. Sounds about right, doesn’t it?
Are the Cowboys Good Enough for Our Blind Faith? Probably Not.

Oct 24, 2024 | dallasobserver.com | Matt McClearin

Now, in years past, I’ve been happy the Cowboys have a bye week because I enjoy some time off from radio postgame duties with my co-host Donovan Lewis on The Ticket. I like being able to focus on the many other games involving other teams. But this time, I was glad, simply because it meant I didn’t have to watch the Cowboys play.
