COWBOYS OWNER JERRY JONES ADVOCATES FOR A SHORTER PRESEASON
For forty years, the NFL has ran sixteen regular-season game schedule and four preseason games.
Most NFL fans and observers agree that during the preseason teams rarely play their starters, so the game quality is low and the preseason is too long.

OHIO STATE CONFIRMS TOM HERMAN WAS WITH ZACH SMITH AT THE STRIP CLUB DURING THE 2014 RECRUITING TRIP
Texas Longhorns football coach Tom Herman was involved in the controversy involving fired Ohio State assistant Zach Smith, when a report said Herman was responsible for alerting Brett McMurphy to Smith’s previously unreported 2009 arrest after his ex-wife, Courtney Smith, alleged he abused her.
Herman’s name came up again after Ohio State released a 23-page report following the investigation that an unnamed Buckeyes staffer, along with “one or more high school coaches,” had attended a strip club with Zach Smith during a recruiting trip and the unnamed staffer was Herman.
