Good news for the Eagles: Their next two foes are the NFL’s latest, biggest embarrassments

+

First up, this Monday night, are the Washington Commanders, who are 4-5, which is the best thing anyone can say about them. At the moment, the Commanders are subjects of a criminal investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of Virginia for allegedly engaging in deceptive business practices. Those crooked practices presumably included any occasion that a team employee publicly referred to the Commanders as a "competent NFL franchise" or a "lovely and enlightened place to work." The revelation of the investigation came on the heels of a major investigative piece by ESPN reaffirming that the team’s owner, Daniel Snyder, might actually be the end result of a computer-reanimation experiment that combined the genes and personalities of Donald Trump, George Costanza, and Matt Lauer into a single sentient being: a paranoid, power-mad, skirt-peeking creep.

Mac Engel: Jimmy Johnson makes it clear, he would like to see the Cowboys in the Super Bowl

+

FORT WORTH, Texas — There are countless theories and half-truths that exist about the 1990s Dallas Cowboys, starting and ending with a friendship that can’t quite be defined, yet remains inexplicably fascinating. From his home in the Florida Keys, one half of the Jimmy/Jerry duo sounds as if he is in a wonderful place, not only geographically but with his entire life. Jimmy Johnson does want to clear up one misconception, and put to rest a fan/media theory that has only grown over these last few decades. There is the theory that Jimmy Johnson does not want to see the Dallas Cowboys succeed, certainly not win a Super Bowl; that he privately takes joy in the fact that team under Jerry Jones has not won a Super Bowl with a team that he built. "No, that’s not true," Johnson said Tuesday in a phone interview. "The Dallas Cowboys are a big part of my career, and I want them to be successful.

Kansas State football transfer Drake Cheatum making his mark as a Power Five safety

+

Arne Green Topeka Capital-Journal MANHATTAN — When Kansas State's coaches recruited Reggie Stubblefield last year as a Prairie View A&M graduate transfer, Drake Cheatum wasn't even on their radar. Now, thanks in part to Stubblefield, he is the Wildcats' starting free safety. "Reg knows a lot of people," K-State coach Chris Klieman said with a smile. "Reggie knows some people and I think Reggie put us on him." Good thing, too, because Cheatum, a 5-foot-10, 191-pound super-senior from Mesquite, Texas, stepped right into a Wildcat secondary that lost all three starting safeties from last year. He has started all five games for the Wildcats (4-1, 2-0 Big 12), who travel to Ames, Iowa, for a 6:30 p.m. kickoff Saturday against Iowa State (3-2, 0-2). "Drake entered the transfer portal looking for some of the same opportunities and experiences that I got with playing on a bigger level and atmosphere of college football," said Stubblefield, who currently teaches and coaches football at Sam Houston High School in his hometown of Arlington, Texas. "He earned that through his great career at Prairie View A&M University, where he was phenomenal as a student and athlete.
