Since then, though, there have been glimpses of what Jerry was thinking when he – and definitely other people in the Cowboys’ front office, totally – decided to hire Schottenheimer. The latest has nothing to do with football, which is how you know things are going well in Dallas.
On Thursday morning, the Cowboy’s official X account released some behind-the-scenes footage into … whatever it is they’re doing this offseason. They’re in a golf cart, that much we know. But they’re not actually playing golf? I don’t know, it’s weird. What’s more important is that Micah Parsons, CeeDee Lamb, and Schottenheimer are all riffing, which is exactly what we need to see from the Cowboys’ stars and the new head coach going into this season.
It’s the type of video that’s totally pointless and will still be dissected into a million pieces for all the wrong reasons, which is almost exclusively the Cowboys’ lane. I don’t see any videos of Dan Quinn or Nick Sirianni being this cool, just sayin’.
Summer must be near because the Cowboys’ good vibes have returned in full force
I will bet you my entire salary* that by Week 3, you’re going to be able to buy a Schotty at any Cowboys Stadium premier suite bar for $16.99. They’ll probably even let you keep the collectible cup! And at that point you’re basically making money.
(*Considering my salary is, like, three Schottys, I can’t actually do this.)
More importantly: the vibes are back. They’re so back. Summer must be near, because I can feel that familiar sense of hope and, dare I say it, optimism once again. Look at them! Just guys being dudes. What’s better than that? I don’t remember Mike McCarthy having any drinks named after him. And just because I’m so, so sure that people are going to jump to making the joke about how The Schotty is the official drink of playing golf instead of, you know, playoff football, I’m just going to get out ahead of that now by acknowledging, unfortunately, it is a good joke. But now they can’t make the joke (right?) anymore, so who’s really laughing?
