The Dallas Cowboys' offense will have something new from QB Dak Prescott in 2025
The Dallas Cowboys' offense will have something new from QB Dak Prescott in 2025 "Yeaaahhhh... here we gooooo!" For the last two years, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has made his snap cadence famous, shouting those four words prior to getting the snap. Game observers either loved it (mostly Cowboys fans) or hated it (most non-Cowboys fans). The good news for the haters is Prescott's cadence is going away for the upcoming season. New head coach Brian Schottenheimer delivered the surprising news during his press conference for the team's second week of OTAs that the pre-snap chatter is gone. Prescott and the offense will now have a new cadence before starting each play. The phrase was made popular by Prescott during his MVP-caliber 2023 season, who explained it's true meaning that year. It was a cadence so beloved in area, the local hockey team, the Dallas Stars, adopted it before each power play during home games. However, if it was a good luck saying in 2023, the moniker didn't fare as well with the QB, or the team, last year. A 12-5 season two years ago turned a disaster in 2024, where Prescott had a 3-5 record before his hamstring injury forced him to miss the remainder of the season. It's unclear whether it was Schottenheimer, Prescott or new offensive coordinator Klayton Adams' decision, but it makes sense to make the change. The Cowboys will have a new offense with wrinkles to implement, and using the same cadence no longer fits. It was time for something fresh. The NFL is also a league that catches onto things quickly and perhaps the other 31 teams picked up on something in Prescott that gave away when the snap was coming. There's a new regime in Dallas and they're going in a different direction with the offense, which includes the pre-snap cadence. No matter the reasons, 'here we gooooo' is now gone, baby, gone. Cowboys fans can't wait to hear what Prescott's new cadence will be, and maybe this one will catch on as well. Before it goes away, for your listening pleasure, here's a chance to listen to some more 'yeaaaahhhh here we gooooo's:' Follow Cowboys Wire on Facebook to join in on the conversation with fellow fans!

Mookie Betts suffers bizarre toe injury, sidelined for Dodgers' high-stakes Yankees series opener
Mookie Betts ruled out of Dodgers vs. Yankees opener after freak toe injury (AP Photos) The Los Angeles Dodgers are off to another dominant season, but the team's luck with injuries continues to test their depth. The latest setback? Star shortstop Mookie Betts is sidelined with a toe injury that, while not major, adds to the Dodgers' increasingly bizarre list of player mishaps. Dodgers hit with sudden blow as Mookie Betts ruled out vs. Yankees due to stubbed toe Mookie Betts is currently listed as day-to-day after injuring his left toe at home earlier this week. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Friday that Betts was undergoing X-rays and added, 'I feel confident saying it's day-to-day, but putting on a shoe today was difficult for him.' The injury is believed to have happened when Betts stubbed his toe, though the details remain unclear. Roberts simply called it 'just kind of an accident. ' While Betts was not in the starting lineup for the much-anticipated series opener against the New York Yankees — a rematch of last year's World Series — Roberts noted that the 32-year-old was still available off the bench if needed. This incident is another strange twist in what has become a peculiar season of injuries for the Dodgers. Earlier this year, Freddie Freeman missed nine games after slipping in the shower and aggravating a previously repaired ankle. These freak accidents have kept Roberts on edge, as he joked, 'It just keeps coming... It's Murphy's law, but yeah, this is a weird one.' Despite the injuries, the Dodgers continue to shine. With Betts posting a .254 batting average, eight home runs, and 31 RBIs, he's remained a key contributor for a team leading the National League West by two games over the San Diego Padres. Betts' absence — even for a short time — is sure to be felt. Known for his versatility and leadership, he anchors both the lineup and infield. With a high-profile matchup against Aaron Judge and the Yankees underway, the Dodgers are hoping their MVP-caliber shortstop won't be sidelined for long. In a season that's already seen its fair share of oddities, the Dodgers are banking on resilience and roster depth as they aim for another championship run — hopefully with fewer shower slips and stubbed toes.
