Good Friends, Better Rivals | 2026 NFL Draft Preview: Cowboys & Giants Mock Draft | Fares & Caleb

How the Cowboys Dynasty Died: The Fall & Rock Bottom (1996–2002) | Good Friends, Better Rivals

Three Super Bowls. Back-to-back-to-back dominance. And then… nothing. In Part 1 of our four-part series on why the Dallas Cowboys haven't won a Super Bowl in 30 years, Fares and Caleb go all the way back to where it started to unravel. The dynasty didn't just fade — it collapsed. Jerry Jones fired the coach who built it, the locker room fell apart, and by the time the dust settled, the Cowboys were one of the worst teams in the NFL. From the chaotic final years of Barry Switzer to the Chan Gailey and Dave Campo eras, this is the story of how a franchise that had everything lost it all — and why the decisions made in this window set the tone for the next three decades of failure. How does a dynasty turn into a disaster in under five years? We're breaking it all down.

Good Friends, Better Rivals | OBJ Is Back! + Abdul Carter Speaks Out & Cowboys OTA Updates

OBJ is home. The New York Giants made a massive splash on June 1st, signing wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. — and they didn't stop there, also adding JuJu Smith-Schuster and Braxton Berrios all in one day. The emergency moves come in response to a wave of injuries that has hit the receiver room, with Malik Nabers (knee), Darius Slayton (sports hernia), and Gunner Olszewski (Achilles) all sidelined — and now all three veterans are signed to the veteran minimum and will be competing for roster spots through training camp. Fares and Caleb break down what each signing means for Jaxson Dart and the Giants' offense heading into 2026. Then, the drama that rocked Big Blue before the signings even happened. Abdul Carter addressed the media following OTA No. 6, speaking out about the controversy surrounding Jaxson Dart's decision to introduce President Trump at a rally — a situation that prompted Dart to open his own press conference with a prepared statement, and drew veterans like Jameis Winston to the podium as well. The guys react to everything that was said and what it means for the Giants' locker room going forward. Plus, what's going on in Dallas? The Cowboys kicked off OTAs on June 1st as they begin what they hope is a bounce-back season after back-to-back playoff misses, with George Pickens reportedly not in the building for the voluntary portion and all eyes on first-round pick Caleb Downs and the revamped defense under new coordinator Christian Parker. We've got the latest on where Dallas stands — and what they still need to figure out. All that and more on this episode of Good Friends, Better Rivals.

Giants & Cowboys OTA Reactions + Joe Schoen Gets His Extension | Good Friends, Better Rivals

OTAs are underway and the Giants are already dealing with bad news — Roy Robertson-Harris tears his Achilles on day one. Fares and Caleb break down the early returns from New York's first practices under John Harbaugh, including standout performances from Arvell Reese and the pass rush corps, plus what Jaxson Dart's Year 2 development looks like without Malik Nabers on the field. Then it's Big D's turn — the Cowboys don't hit the practice field until June 1, but there's still plenty to talk about heading into Brian Schottenheimer's second year, including a new defensive coordinator in Christian Parker and a roster built around Caleb Downs and CeeDee Lamb. Plus — the Giants officially extend GM Joe Schoen to a multi-year deal. Four years in, three straight losing seasons, and now locked in alongside John Harbaugh. Was this the right call? Fares and Caleb don't agree. Good Friends, Better Rivals covers the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys every week — two fans, two teams, zero filter.

Where do each of these teams go from here? Let's get into it.

Good Friends, Better Rivals | Our Off Season Expectations for the Giants and Cowboys

The draft is over, free agency is mostly done — so what should we actually expect from the Giants and Cowboys heading into 2026? Fares and Caleb break down the offseason moves, what they mean for both teams, and whether the hype is real or just noise. For the Giants, John Harbaugh's first offseason has been aggressive — trading Dexter Lawrence for the 10th pick, drafting Arvell Reese, Francis Mauigoa, Malachi Fields, and Colton Hood, and building around a young core that has legitimate breakout potential. For the Cowboys, it's the same old questions: can a revamped defense make up for the losses? Can Dak Prescott block out the drama? And is Dallas actually a contender, or just a brand? Fares and Caleb have answers — and they definitely don't agree on all of them.
