Mike McCarthy had an interesting reaction following the Dallas Cowboys’ loss to the Washington Commanders on Sunday, suggesting he already knows his fate as their head coach.
The Cowboys fell 23-19 to the Commanders at AT&T Stadium on Sunday afternoon, with Terry McLaurin catching the game-winning touchdown pass from Marcus Mariota. Owner Jerry Jones now must decide the fate of Mike McCarthy, whose five-year contract has expired.
After the game, Pat Doney of NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth shared a video of McCarthy embracing members of his staff. One can interpret this as a last goodbye and a sign that McCarthy expects to be let go by Jones:
Mike McCarthy went 49-35-0 over his five-year contract as the Dallas head coach. Though the team recorded three straight 12-win seasons from 2021 to 2023, they only won a single playoff game under his leadership.
Cowboys Should Move On From Mike McCarthy
Even before Dak Prescott suffered a hamstring injury that required season-ending surgery, the Cowboys never once resembled a contender in 2024. McCarthy only squeezed one playoff win out of a Dallas group loaded with stars on both sides of the ball, and it’s hard to justify giving him a sixth season at the helm.
Dwight Howard Brutally Trolls 76ers Star Joel Embiid For His Flopping Skills

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid has established himself as one of the toughest players to guard in the NBA. By using his combination of size, strength, and skill, the 7-foot center has dominated opponents, leading the league in free throw attempts per game in three of the last four seasons. Despite Minnesota Timberwolves commentators’ criticism, his ability to draw fouls and exploit his physicality has made him a nightmare for defenders.
Former NBA star Dwight Howard recently shared his perspective on guarding Embiid during an appearance on the Thanalysis Show. When asked how he would approach defending Embiid, Howard laid out his strategy after trolling Embiid for his flopping skills.
“He is probably, I think, the toughest to guard because he knows how to flop. He knows how to use his size and his strength when he has to. He can shoot real well. If I was checking him, I would have to beat him up and down the court, not let him get easy points, don’t go for no pump fakes,” Howard said.
“Usually when he gets it in his left hand, he does it with his right, but he likes to left hesi to the pull-up. So, I would be right up on that. So, as soon as have it like this, I’m crowding his space because I know he’s either going to do like this and try to go around me,” he added.
