• Over/under 2.5 times a player can break a finger in a season? Cowboy receiver Jaden Bray’s answer: over (PFB)

• Mike Gundy talked about how different the Dez Bryant suspension situation would have been today:

“Nowadays, he could have flipped around, filed a suit against them and won in court, for what they did to him,” Gundy said.

After something starts working, double down on what works best.

When that stops working, explore and make a lot of small bets again.”
