Pickens' Drama in Dallas gets first episode out of the way before training camp

When the Dallas Cowboys first acquired George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers, many decried the move as desperate and a controversy waiting to happen. Pickens had a well-earned reputation for a certain degree of drama over the years. Incidents in college impacted his draft stock and incidents in the NFL reaffirmed those concerns, ultimately contributing to his trade. Playing in the bright lights of Dallas has a way of magnifying things, both good and bad. Many felt it would only be a matter of time before some sort of controversy arose with the Cowboys' newest weapon. As fortune would have it, skeptics didn't have to wait long for validation. Pickens allegedly backed out of a previous commitment catching the ire of organizers of a Pittsburgh area youth camp. TruEdge Sports didn't mince words when they released a scathing statement about Pickens. They said his actions display a 'disappointing lack of accountability' that 'shows a disregard for the families and children who were excited to meet him.' They've since backed off such statements after clarifying their communication was filtered through his representation and not with the receiver himself. Clarification was good but, in some ways, it was too little too late for daily news cycle. The headlines had been printed, and the damage had been done. Anyone looking for controversy had found it, and the first bit of Pickens drama was officially in the books. Drama is far from foreign for Cowboys fans. Boisterous personalities like Dez Bryant and Terrell Owens regularly drew headlines for reasons other than catching the football. Distractions come with the territory 'round these parts, so it's safe to say as long as Pickens is getting along with his teammates and producing on the field, there's no reason to sound the alarm. The change in culture from Pittsburgh to Dallas is rather significant. Things like this may be cause for concern up in the Steel City but down in Big D they're old hat. If Pickens hasn't noticed, it's production on the field that matters on the Cowboys. It's why many fans have grown so irrationally frustrated with Dak Prescott's lack of success in the postseason and why after 30 years of struggles it's still somehow 'Super Bowl or bust' in Cowboys fan circles. It takes a lot to rock the boat in Dallas. Fans here are accustomed to drama and controversies; all they seem to care about is producing on the field and postseason success. If Pickens can provide that on the Cowboys, he'll notice patience runs extremely deep.

Ohio State football loses out on 4-star 2026 defensive end to Michigan

The Ohio State football program has seen a mixed bag of recruiting results lately. It got good news on the defensive line the past few days, but then bad news followed with the loss of a couple of targets on Sunday. One of those misses came in a battle with Michigan for four-star defensive end Carter Meadows. Out of Washington, D.C., Ohio State made a big push for Meadows and was thought to be in the thick of the race to get him, but Michigan was able to close the deal late, winning a crucial battle between the two old rivals. The 6-foot, six-inch, 225-pounder is ranked as the No. 72 overall player and ninth edge rusher in the 2026 class according to the 247Sports Composite rankings and was a priority for Ohio State. Now, it'll be back to tracking others still on the board to round out talent on the defensive line and edge. Penn State and South Carolina were also in play for Meadows. Things will continue to be up and down as we go through the summer and into the season on our way to more or less finalizing the 2026 recruiting class in December during the Early Signing Period. All bets are off in today's day and age of NIL, the transfer portal, and now direct revenue-sharing coming down the line.
