Cowboys Fans Vote On Six Levels of 'What Would Mean Success' in 2025
Cowboys Fans Vote On Six Levels of 'What Would Mean Success' in 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
FRISCO - Which way to the bar?
No, not that "bar,'' even though the Dallas Cowboys often drive their fans to drinkin'.

We mean "the bar of expectations'' under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
The Cowboys have the "Blow It Up'' plan (and a 7-10 season) behind them. There is the ever-present criticism of owner Jerry Jones and QB Dak Prescott, of course, but there is also a much-celebrated "culture shift'' under new coach Brian Schottenheimer.
Many critics have predicted a modest to underwhelming season for Dallas in Schottenheimer's first year at the helm. Others have projected a successful first campaign. And why?
But, Cowboys Nation, before we predict "success,'' we have to define it. And our Mike Fisher in the Fish Report below is here to help.

So, you vote. Pick one of the six as you decide in your own heads and hearts where the "bar of expectations'' should be for the 2025 Dallas Cowboys.
Your choices ...
1. BETTER 'N: Last year Dallas was 7-10. Be better than that, and forge a foundation going forward, and that's enough.
2. PLAYOFFS IN: Is a playoff berth enough? Damn right - especially climbing out of the brutal NFC East.
3. PLAYOFFS WIN: Postseason wins are a real measure. Dallas has gotten their plenty. Win one.
4. "TRUE SUPER BOWL CONTENTION:'' What is "rue Super Bowl contention''? You define it. And pick No. 4 if that's what must be.

5. NFC CHAMPIONSHIP APPEARANCE: End that 30-year drought, please.
6. SUPER BOWL! Because in Dallas, that's all that really matters.
So there you go, Cowboys fans ... rock the vote!

Raptors Send 3-Word Message After Masai Ujiri News
Raptors Send 3-Word Message After Masai Ujiri News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Toronto Raptors are entering a new chapter following a challenging 2024-25 season that ended with a 30-52 record and growing questions about the franchise's long-term direction. With the team in the midst of a rebuild and coming off several front office changes over the past year, leadership uncertainty has hovered over the organization. Advertisement Masai Ujiri, the architect behind the Raptors' 2019 championship and one of the NBA's most respected executives, had been at the center of that uncertainty. Speculation about his future had been building as he entered the final year of his contract, with multiple reports pointing to potential friction over the team's strategic path and declining performance in recent seasons. Toronto Raptors Vice-Chairman and Team President Masai Ujiri.© John E. Sokolowski-Imagn Images On Friday, ESPN's Shams Charania broke the news of Ujiri's departure via a post on X: "BREAKING: Masai Ujiri is out as Vice Chairman and President of the Toronto Raptors, sources tell ESPN." Shortly after Charania's report, the Raptors confirmed the news with a media release and followed up with a brief three-word message on X: Advertisement 'Thank you, Masai.' The reaction from fans was swift and emotional. Many expressed frustration and disbelief, citing Ujiri's legacy and the lack of clarity around the team's direction moving forward. Some questioned the decision to part ways amid an already uncertain rebuild. Others voiced appreciation but warned of tough years ahead without Ujiri's leadership. Ujiri's departure marks the end of an era in Toronto. While general manager Bobby Webster is expected to take on a larger role, there's no immediate indication of who will formally succeed Ujiri.
