The Football Gods Have Officially Been Put On Notice With Dak Prescott Claiming The Cowboys Will Be Super Bowl Champions This Year
Maybe I'm just turning into an old crotchety man, but something has been rubbing me the wrong way lately with the whole "speaking things into existence" mindset. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great to have lofty goals. We've always said things like "reach for the moon and even if you miss, you'll end up amongst the stars" and all that type of shit. But something about speaking things into existence just gives people way too much freedom to say some of the most ridiculous things to ever come out of a human's mouth.
Like Dak Prescott saying the Cowboys will be Super Bowl Champions in 2024. As I said, lofty goals aren't necessarily a bad thing. But I also think it's important to remain at least somewhat rooted in reality. We can't have people thinking that anything and everything is possible. Because the reality of the situation is that "anything is possible" is a lie. Some things are just intrinsically impossible. Like a dude giving birth or the Cowboys hoisting the Lombardi Trophy in this millennium.
The Cowboys are a very good team. There's no doubt about that. They proved it yesterday with their shellacking of the Browns. But we're coming up on 30 years since this team has even been to an NFC Championship Game, let alone playing in the Super Bowl. If I'm the Football Gods right now and I hear Dak Prescott trying to speak the Cowboys winning the Super Bowl into existence when they haven't had a February game on their schedule since Clinton's first term? You can't just sit there and take that. I don't know how and I don't know when, but if the Football Gods are really out there then they need to prove it by delivering one of the most soul crushing endings to a Cowboys season we've ever seen.
