Listen up, Dallas — that one is going to sting for a while.

In Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, Tyler Loop drilled a 56-yard field goal as time expired and the Baltimore Ravens walked off with a 34-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas falls to 1-2. Baltimore improves to 2-1.

Here's the short version of a wild final minute: the Cowboys tied it at 31 on Brandon Aubrey's 23-yard kick with seven seconds left after settling for three from inside the Ravens' 10. On the ensuing possession, Lamar Jackson hit Zay Flowers for 27 yards, called timeout with a second left per the officials, and Loop ended it.

Dak Prescott finished 25-of-40 for 276 yards and a touchdown. Javonte Williams ran 19 times for 98 yards and a score. CeeDee Lamb had seven catches for 112 yards; George Pickens added seven for 82. KaVontae Turpin's nine-yard TD run had Dallas up 28-24 late.

Special teams choices and red-zone conservatism will be the radio talk all week. Next up: Cowboys at Houston Texans on Sunday, Oct. 4.

I think they bring out buried feelings of joy and happiness in people that don’t often get to see the light of day anymore. Folks are happier, kids are giddier, and teens are pressing their folks for gifts, even on Mother’s and Father’s Day. But my favorite holiday of them all is Halloween. And it has absolutely nothing to do with costumes and or candy but rather the date on the calendar it represents. October 31st signifies the start of the basketball regular season! Either your team has one game under it's belt, or is preparing for game one or is glorifying a local television broadcast with fun Halloween graphics heading into and out of commercials. The 2013-2014 NBA season kicks off two days in advance of trick-or-treating with national broadcasts coming on October 29th put October in the rearview and gear up for the season ahead.

Penn State should forfeit the rest of the season; Morally right thing to do

-

The Penn State Board of Trustees last night decided to fire both Coach Joe Paterno and President Graham Spanier as the first steps to righting an unbelievable wrong. Board vice chair Joe Surma stated,  "The University is much larger than its athletic teams." The press conference to announce the firing of Paterno continually referenced how Penn State will make decisions from a moral perspective. After all, Penn State is supposed to be the morally right institution graduating over 80% of its student athletes. If you truly want to do what is morally right then you forfeit the rest of the season and bowl season.  For the last decade the athletic department and school officials knowingly allowed a pedophile to use its facilities as his own devil's playground. For an entire decade Penn State put its football program ahead of the 40 to 100 innocent children that were abused by Jerry Sandusky, who had an office on campus. To knowingly put sexual abuse over college football tra...
