There’s no joy in Dallas these days, and mighty Jerry Jones is still swinging. The latest target: Amari Cooper. During a Friday interview with 105.3 The Fan in which the Cowboys owner offered praise to quarterback Dak Prescott and coordinators Kellen Moore and Dan Quinn, Jones did not hide his disappointment in the four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver. Cooper, as he did throughout the season, generated solid production in Dallas’ wild-card loss to San Francisco last week (six receptions, 64 yards, one touchdown). The issue, it seems, is that he simply was not elite. Cooper, whose $20 million salary topped…

NBA Analysis Network We have passed the halfway point of the 2021-22 NBA season and while many teams in the league have been having up-and-down seasons, there are some teams in the league that are starting to look like true title contending threats this season. The Miami Heat and Philadelphia 76ers have both been red-hot over the last few weeks and while the Heat are now tied for the 1-seed in the Eastern Conference, the 76ers sit just 3.0 games back as the current 6-seed. In the Western Conference, the story this season has been the sudden rise of the…

That left five chartered entries, including one that did not have any confirmed drivers.One of…
It’s good to learn from your mistakes, but it’s better to learn from the mistakes of others. Last weekend, I think the NFL made a mistake, running the first Super Wild Card round after moving to a 14-team playoff. I genuinely like the old, 12-team system — every seed has a distinct advantage over the next lower one, meaning the better teams get rewarded, but everyone has an incentive to try the whole season. The 14-team system, where only the top seed gets a bye, saw some pretty poor teams sneak in at the bottom of the field, and that…
OLEAN — The Twin Tiers Disc Golf Association (TTDGA) is gearing up fundraising efforts for a 9-hole disc golf course designed with youth and novice players in mind at Franchot Park.The course, being installed near the Children’s Memorial Garden this summer, will also extend the garden’s mission by including trees and landscape stones that memorialize children in the layout.This project was inspired by the idea and efforts of group member Dave Haynes.“Remembering children that have passed away while providing something positive for today’s youth seems fitting,” Haynes said.The youth course — the first of its kind in Cattaraugus County —…

West Indies will look to leave bad form behind and perform well on the pitch when they take on England in the first T20I on Janaury 23. The team is currently in a transition phase and going through a rough patch. They had a poor T20 World Cup 2021 in UAE where they could not go beyond the first phase of the tournament. The two-time T20 World Cup champions then faced 3-0 drubbing in hands of Pakistan in Pakistan, although many key players were missing in their squad. Kieron Pollard would be looking to start afresh and build a good…

MELBOURNE: World number one Ash Barty will have to overcome the formidable Amanda Anisimova to keep alive her hopes of becoming the first Australian since 1978 to win their home Grand Slam when the two meet in the last-16 at Melbourne Park on Sunday. Barty and defending champion Naomi Osaka had been poised to meet in a heavyweight clash in the fourth round, but Anisimova played spoiler, edging out the Japanese four-times major winner to extend her winning streak to eight matches this year. The unseeded American could cause problems for Barty, who won their only previous meeting — at…
By Gav Duthie: Any sportsman heading into the same field with a successful father behind him has it tough. If your father was one of the greatest ever to do it, then it’s twice as hard. In truth, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, in his own right, has been a success, but because of his father, his achievements pale in comparison. 53 wins from 60 boxing bouts, a WBC world champion, and in general, a good career. Everything he does, though, is scrutinized; the party lifestyle, the marijuana, his laziness to train, and his latter career have been a meme and…
