Dallas Cowboys

Cowboys fans hoping for a new head coach might have to wait a while longer ... Troy Aikman tells TMZ Sports he thinks his former team will stick with Mike McCarthy in 2025.

The current Dallas sideline manager's contract expires following this season ... and after his team has floundered to a 5-8 record so far this year -- there's been a whole lot of people in Texas eager to see a new face in the Cowboys' headset.

But, when we caught up with Aikman on Wednesday ... he told us he doesn't believe Mike's going anywhere.

Archie Manning is backtracking on his hopes of seeing Arch suit up for America's Team ... claiming his comment about his grandson partnering with the Dallas Cowboys wasn't supposed to be taken seriously.

Manning -- who played in the NFL in the '70s and '80s -- recently made headlines after a TikTok user asked him on camera where he would like to see the current Texas Longhorns QB land in the pros.

Peyton and Eli's dad replied, "I hope he'll play three years in Texas. I hope he plays three more years."

Dak Prescott is about to be a father of two ... 'cause months after welcoming his first child to the world, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback and his fiancée revealed they're expecting another baby!!

The exciting news was revealed on Tuesday via the folks at Sports Illustrated Swimsuit ... showing Sarah Jane Ramos holding her baby bump while wearing an elegant ensemble during a photoshoot.

The baby will arrive in May 2025 ... and it's another girl. As we previously reported, Sarah Jane gave birth to their first kiddo, Margaret Jane "MJ" Rose, in February ... and her birthday happens to fall on leap day.

Cade York isn't just winning on the football field, he's also crushing it at life ... 'cause shortly after his Cincinnati Bengals secured a victory on "Monday Night Football," he shared a kiss with his Dallas Cowboys cheerleader girlfriend!!

York and Zoe Dale went public with their relationship in June ... and coincidentally, the kicker joined the Bengals just in time for their primetime matchup against his partner's employer.

Despite being on opposing teams on Monday, the two had no love lost for each other ... even locking lips on the sideline after Cincy secured the 27-20 dub.

3:44 PM PT -- Kelce's remarks on the city of Dallas reached Mayor Eric L. Johnson, who told TMZ Sports he's laughin' it off.

"We have to consider that this may have been meant as a compliment from the guy who is most famous for leading the ‘Tush Push'," Mayor Johnson said.

"Or perhaps he has spent too much time at the bottom of piles to recognize a city on the rise. As we say here in Texas, bless his heart."

Jason Kelce's rivalry with the Cowboys is still going strong even in retirement ... check out the barb he threw Dallas' way Monday night -- it was so fierce, even his ESPN colleagues winced!!

The jab went down just before the Cowboys kicked off their "Monday Night Football" matchup with the Bengals ... as Kelce and the rest of the "Monday Night Countdown" crew were previewing the game live from AT&T Stadium.

Scott Van Pelt was attempting to switch segments from ESPN's "The Simpsons" coverage back to live action -- when he informed the audience of where they were located.

It wouldn't surprise Brett Favre if Deion Sanders is the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys ... the Hall of Famer tells TMZ Sports he thinks the move is certainly possible.

America's Team, of course, is currently managed by Mike McCarthy ... but with the squad floundering at 4-7 and his contract slated to end following the season, there's been a whole lot of speculation Jerry Jones could be looking for a new sideline guy in 2025.

And, with Sanders' ties to Dallas and his impressive résumés at both Colorado and Jackson State -- Favre says he could see a situation where Jones taps Prime Time to be that man.

Peyton Manning clearly has no qualms with kicking Jerry Jones while he's down ... the NFL legend roasted the Dallas Cowboys owner during the CMAs on Wednesday night!

The popshot came during the award show's opening monologue ... as Manning, Lainey Wilson and Luke Bryan were delivering some punch lines while reflecting back on another year of country music.

The trio mostly ribbed one other ... but when Wilson intro'd Kelsea Ballerini to the audience -- Manning couldn't help but take a jab at Jones.

The Dallas Cowboys might suck, but their home venue doesn't -- officials tell TMZ Sports they've found nothing wrong with AT&T Stadium's structure despite Monday night's metal-falling incident.

A spokesperson for the City of Arlington told us Tuesday the city's building inspector and deputy fire marshal have deemed Jerry World safe ... less than 24 hours after people on AT&T Stadium's field were nearly hit by debris that came crashing down from the facility's ceiling just before the Cowboys vs. Texans kickoff.

The rep says they're confident "there are no structural issues with the venue or its retractable roof" -- as officials ID'ed the concerning "Monday Night Football" scene to be merely a problem with a cable tray lid covering.

Peyton Manning wasn't all that impressed with Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul .... 'cause the Hall of Fame signal-caller took a shot at the fight during the Cowboys-Texans "Monday Night Football" game!

The roasting happened during the "ManningCast" ... when a skirmish broke out in the first quarter of the game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. Bill Belichick, a weekly guest on the show, mentioned the stadium hosted a big fight on Friday ... Tyson vs. Paul, which went down at Jerry's World, too.

Manning laughed ... and offered this quip back.

AT&T Stadium is undergoing some changes after all -- but its got nothing to do with a tarp blocking the sun -- 'cause a massive piece of roof fell ahead of the Texans-Cowboys Monday Night Football game.

It happened on Monday afternoon as the retractable domed roof was opening a couple of hours before kickoff in Arlington, TX ... so fans could enjoy the night sky for the first time in two years.

Unfortunately, while the roof was opening, a humongous piece from the roof fell ... which was then documented by several reporters who shared photos and video of the big hunk of sheet metal as it lay on the sidelines.

Thankfully, no one was injured.

Dak Prescott -- who signed a $240 million extension in September -- was caught red-handed trashin' his team (not necessarily unfairly) ... after TV cameras captured him saying "We f*****g suck" during the Cowboys game!

The unfiltered moment went down Sunday during the Cowboys and Atlanta Falcons game at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, where Dallas lost 27-21.

Prescott -- who wasn't playing after he was banged up during the game -- was captured by TV cameras as the 'Boys were down 14 in the 4th quarter, knocking his team's performance.

Dallas Cowboys star Trevon Diggs just said sorry to the reporter he hit over the weekend with a "deez nuts" quip ... fittingly using some cans of peanuts to issue the mea culpa.

The cornerback and WFAA's Mike Leslie first got into their beef on Sunday night ... after the journalist made a social media post that appeared to call out Diggs' effort during a play in the Cowboys' 30-24 loss to the 49ers.

Diggs came out of Dallas' locker room irate with Leslie ... and yelled at him for several seconds. He then stormed off while shouting at the media member, "Talk about these nuts."

Michael Irvin tells TMZ Sports if his beloved Cowboys don't make a move by the trade deadline next week ... it could be curtains for Dallas' season already.

The Hall of Famer made it crystal clear to us out at LAX on Monday that the only thing that can save his former team from impending irrelevancy is adding a key piece between now and the NFL's Nov. 5 last day of trading.

Irvin told us if the Cowboys don't improve their roster with a swap ... a whole lot more losses like the one they experienced on Sunday night against the 49ers will be heading their way.

Trevon Diggs didn't show much fight on the field Sunday night, but off of it, he was certainly in the scrapping mood ... getting so pissed with a reporter's critique of him, he actually tried to embarrass the journalist in front of all his colleagues.

The tense moment happened just minutes after Diggs' Dallas squad lost its "Sunday Night Football" matchup with the 49ers ... when the star cornerback had apparently seen an X post from WFAA's Mike Leslie that ticked him off.

The post featured Leslie sharing a highlight video of George Kittle running through the Cowboys' secondary with the caption, "What is Trevon Diggs doing on this play?"

Cam Newton didn't need words to get his point across on Friday ... instead, he elected to bark like a dog when breaking down the Dallas Cowboys' woes -- and his cohosts' reactions were priceless.

The funny moment happened during ESPN's "First Take" minutes ago ... when Newton, Stephen A. Smith, and the rest of the team discussed what America's Team needs to do to bounce back after its 47-9 loss to the Detroit Lions last week.

And, Newton -- who got the gig earlier this month -- came outta nowhere and started channeling his inner IShowSpeed.
