Cowboys Predicted For 'Dull Vibe' In 2025
Cowboys Predicted For 'Dull Vibe' In 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The one thing the Dallas Cowboys have never been under Jerry Jones is boring, but it appears some think the 2025 version under Brian Schottenheimer might be.

With so much change on both sides of the ball, the Cowboys present an interesting proposition for fans and media alike to gauge accurately.
We already know that Schotty wants to run the ball behind a revamped offensive line and a rushing attack led by Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams with a sprinkling of Jaydon Blue.
But for USA Today's Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz, in ranking all 32 teams from most to least entertaining, Dallas comes in at No. 19.
"Jerry Jones might not enjoy it, but a Brian Schottenheimer offense likely to be rooted in the run game and play-action passes might give Dallas a somewhat dull vibe," Middlehurst-Schwartz writes. "But the George Pickens trade guaranteed some sparks – for better or worse."

Now, regardless of how the Cowboys play on the field, the last thing they will be is dull ... as that would be pretty close to unprecedented around here.

People will tune in to see either the team lose, and many will bask in that backwards glory under Jerry, or fans will watch Dak Prescott connect with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens for explosive gains ... in combination with Micah Parsons and his defense offering thrills.
Plus, just because an offense is run-first doesn't make it boring – the Detroit Lions proved that last season. And as long as Dallas is winning, we don't think Jerry will care, given the length of this trophy drought.
It has been a positive offseason for the Cowboys, and we can't see any dull vibes coming from how the team will play based on what we've seen.
That doesn't mean they won't be, but there is enough evidence to suggest that with the weapons at Dak's disposal, the offense will be anything but dull.

The addition of Pickens alone is enough to light the entertainment spark each week.
And in terms of being "dull" overall? Watch the TV ratings tell the truth about how watchable America finds "America's Team" to be.

Marlins use 8th-inning rally to beat Diamondbacks 6-4, win 7th straight game
PHOENIX (AP) — Otto Lopez hit a go-ahead, two-run single and Kyle Stowers added a three-run double during an eighth-inning rally and the Miami Marlins completed a three-game sweep by beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-4 on Sunday. The streaking Marlins have won seven in a row. The Diamondbacks took a 2-1 lead into the eighth inning, but lefty Jalen Beeks walked the bases loaded with two outs. Lopez then hit a line drive into left that scored Liam Hicks and Dane Myers for a 3-2 lead. Agustin Ramirez was intentionally walked to load the bases again and Stowers hit a bases-clearing double to push the advantage to 6-2. Arizona's pitchers walked 10 batters and the team dropped its fourth straight game to fall below .500 at 41-42. Beeks (2-1) gave up five earned runs and recorded just two outs, one day after giving up three earned runs and recording one out in an 8-7 loss. D-backs lefty Eduardo Rodríguez had another good outing, giving up one run on four hits and three walks over 5 1/3 innings. He struck out five. The 32-year-old had a 1.98 ERA over 27 1/3 innings in June. Miami's Cal Quantrill gave up two runs on three hits and a walk over five innings, striking out five. Lake Bachar (4-0) pitched two scoreless innings of relief and Ronny Henriquez handled the ninth for his third save. Ketel Marte's solo homer in the third put the D-backs up 2-1. It was his 17th homer of the season. Key moment The D-backs cut it to 6-4 in the bottom of the eighth, but Calvin Faucher struck out Jake McCarthy with runners on first and second to end the threat. Key stat Arizona's bullpen is one of the worst in baseball with a 5.22 ERA coming into Sunday's game. Up next The Marlins return home to face the Minnesota Twins and RHP Joe Ryan (8-3, 2.86 ERA) on Tuesday. The D-backs continue their homestand on Monday when RHP Ryne Nelson (4-2, 3.71) takes the mound against the San Francisco Giants and RHP Logan Webb (7-5, 2.52). ___ AP MLB:

Guatemala beats Canada on penalty kicks in Gold Cup quarterfinal thriller
MINNEAPOLIS — José Morales sent Guatemala to the semifinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup with the clincher over Canada in a 6-5 penalty-kick decision after a 1-1 draw on Sunday. Rubio Rubín scored the tying goal with a header in the 69th minute for Guatemala, which faces the Costa Rica-United States winner in the semifinals in St. Louis on Wednesday. Mexico plays Honduras in the other semifinal in Santa Clara, California. The championship is in Houston on July 6. The seven-round shootout was a fitting end to a fast-paced and feisty contest that went down as one of the best of this biennial tournament for North America, Central America and the Caribbean. The blue-and-white-clad fans of Guatemala flocked to U.S. Bank Stadium and made the crowd sound almost like a sold-out NFL game inside the home of the Minnesota Vikings with the translucent roof. Jonathan David scored on a penalty kick in the 30th minute for Canada, which won its group with two wins and one draw. Dayne St. Clair, an MLS All-Star who plays just a few miles away for Minnesota United, made two saves for the Reds in regulation against a consistent if erratic attack as Guatemala had an 11-5 edge in shot attempts and a 58% possession rate. Canada forward Jacob Sheffelburg was ejected in first-half stoppage time for a second yellow card, after lowering his elbow during a mid-air collision for the ball that knocked Guatemala defender Stheven Robles to the ground. Oscar Santis had a shot for Guatemala from just outside the box off a high-bouncing ball that he booted over the top of the net in the 53rd minute, but he set up Rubín's header with a textbook cross from the left sideline. Guatemala, which finished second in its group with two wins and one loss, went second during the penalty-kick thriller and nearly blew it when José Pinto sailed his shot over the net after Kenderson Navarro stopped Cyle Larin's attempt to start the sixth round. After Luc Rollet's shot for Canada bounced off the crossbar, the defender pulled his shirt up over his face in frustration. Then Morales won it by going dead center as St. Clair dived left. ___ AP soccer:
