Former Cowboys superstar and Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin said there's only one offseason priority the franchise should be focusing on and that's Dak Prescott and how his future is being handled long-term. The upcoming NFL Draft, staff changes or potential player acquisitions all come secondary when compared to the importance of ensuring Prescott is the team's quarterback for the foreseeable future, Irvin says. “The No. 1 priority should be Dak, that’s no doubt,” Irvin said this week on 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM] . “Then No. 2, should be Prescott. Then No. 3 should be Dakota. No. 4 should be Rayne. That’s all I want to hear. Understand what I’m saying? That’s it. That’s all I want to hear. I don’t care about all this other stuff. "Then, after we get through Dak, Dakota, Rayne, and Prescott then we will get to defense. Dak is the first four all by himself.” Irvin defended Prescott last summer as well during intense contract negotiations before talks ended in a … [Read more...] about Michael Irvin says Dak Prescott is Cowboys’ top offseason priority

Scotland's Six Nations match against France in Paris on Sunday has been given the green light to go ahead despite 13 positive coronavirus tests in the French camp. The Stade de France showdown had been thrown into major doubt after 10 players and three members of staff, including head coach Fabien Galthie, had tested positive for Covid-19 . But after no positive cases were returned from testing on Monday and Tuesday, France have now been given the go-ahead to host Gregor Townsend's squad.

The Montreal Canadiens announced stunning news on Wednesday morning : the Habs fired head coach Claude Julien, and also fired associate coach Kirk Muller. Dominique Ducharme has been named interim head coach, while Alex Burrows was added to the coaching staff. What a difference a few weeks — and some losses, particularly to the lowly Senators — can make. The Canadiens stormed out of the gate, looking like they found another gear after an offseason of changes by GM Marc Bergevin. Canadiens fire Julien; Ducharme named interim head coach The Canadiens have lost three in a row, however, and now boast a middling 9-5-4 record. “I would like to sincerely thank Claude and Kirk for their contributions to our team over the past five years during which we worked together. I have great respect for these two men whom I hold in high regard,” Bergevin said in a statement. “In Dominique Ducharme, we see a very promising coach who will bring new life and new energy to our group. We feel … [Read more...] about Slumping Canadiens fire coaches Claude Julien, Kirk Muller

Five more France rugby players have tested positive for COVID-19, bringing the number of infected players to 10, with Six Nations officials set to meet on Wednesday to decide if the team's match with Scotland on Sunday can go ahead as planned. The French Rugby Federation (FFR) said on Monday that Cyril Baille, Peato Mauvaka, Romain Taofifenua, Charles Ollivon and Brice Dulin had returned positive tests on Sunday. Two members of staff are also thought to have contracted the virus. Centre Arthur Vincent, hooker Julien Marchand, winger Gabin Villiere, prop Mohamed Haouas and scrum-half Antoine Dupont tested positive last week, along with coach Fabien Galthie. French Government rules issued last week state that anyone testing positive must self-isolate for 10 days. The players who tested positive have been replaced in the 31-man squad which is due to return to training on Wednesday, the FFR said. Six Nations officials said over the weekend they were confident the game in … [Read more...] about Six Nations: Decision on whether France vs Scotland is to be postponed will be made on Wednesday

England forwards coach Matt Proudfoot will have his pack fired up for Saturday's collision with Wales as he looks to settle his own score in Cardiff. The champions face a pivotal moment in the Guinness Six Nations when they head to the Principality Stadium, knowing a second defeat of the tournament would effectively end their title defence. Only Wales and France can still win the Grand Slam and, after a wretched 2020 when they went on a six-Test losing run, Wayne Pivac's team have been rejuvenated by victories over Ireland and Scotland. Proudfoot's aim of a successful trip across the Severn Bridge is given added gravity by his poor record in Cardiff when acting as South Africa's forwards coach from 2016-19. "What more do you say about Alun Wyn Jones? And Justin Tipuric is an exceptional rugby player," Proudfoot said. "We understand the challenge. I have coached for four years against Wales and never beaten them, so I understand how tough they are up front. "With South … [Read more...] about Matt Proudfoot: England aware of Welsh Six Nations challenge in Cardiff
