They have not won a Super Bowl since 1995, and after coming within a whisker of the conference championship game in 2014, they plummeted to a 4-12 mark in 2015. The Cowboys success seems to be tied to Tony Romos health. If Romo is healthy, they win. When he isnt, they lose. The arrival of Dak Prescott seems to have changed the narrative a little, but the rookie quarterback is still learning as he goes and it is impossible to know yet if he is truly the real deal.Whats goodThe Cowboys title track checks in at No. 40, thanks to their storied history and the fans belief that even when things are bad, a title cant be too far away (despite the drought, only 10 NFL teams ranked better than the Cowboys in the team has won or will win at least one championship in my lifetime). Its true that the Cowboys have an offense that can carry them if all of the pieces are healthy. They have the best offensive line in football. Rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott should be one of the best in the NFL. Dez Bryant is healthy once again. And even with Dak Prescott performing well in Romos absence, the Cowboys are still Tony Romos team. If Romo can stay healthy, the Cowboys can score a lot of points, protect their defense and be the best team in the NFC East. Is that enough to get them to Super Bowl LI? That seems a little much.Whats badA 106th-ranked bang for the buck proves it: Paying high ticket, concession and parking prices is a lot easier when a team wins. The Cowboys didnt win in 2015, so it becomes a little more painful. AT&T Stadium is the best of the NFL, but it comes with a price (the fourth-highest average ticket cost in the NFL, and the leagues most expensive parking). Off the field, the Cowboys have managed to cash in with their $1.2 billion stadium. On the field, they havent. They have a sub-.500 record at home since they moved to Arlington in 2009.Whats newComing off a 12-4 finish to the 2014 season, things were looking up for the Cowboys in the coaching department. Head coach Jason Garrett was rewarded with a five-year, $30 million contract after the Cowboys made the playoffs, but then they slipped to a 4-12 finish. The fans noticed, dropping the Cowboys coaching rank 37 spots (to No. 96) and their player rank 28 (to No. 81). Both of those drops come down to Romos injuries: With a healthy Romo and Bryant, Garrett went 12-4. Without them, he went 4-12 -- and the team won just one of 12 without Romo. While blaming a lack of depth is reasonable, the Cowboys were competitive in enough games that coaching could have made a difference. Garrett might find himself at least on a moderately warm -- if not hot -- seat in 2016.Next: New York Jets?| Full rankings Sam Hentges Jersey .Y. - New Orleans forward Anthony Davis was chosen Friday to replace the injured Kobe Bryant in the NBA All-Star game that will be played in his home city.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Dylan Bundy is getting a chance to stick around in the Baltimore Orioles rotation.Bundy lost his first major league start, pitching into the fourth inning Sunday as the Orioles lost to the Tampa Bay Rays 5-2.Thats the most pitches Ive thrown in my career up here, so thats a positive, Bundy said after a 70-pitch outing.

Now its about the competition and giving us a good chance to win.

Overall, he had been 0-2 in six starts since winning June 8 at Arizona.Obviously, it feels really good to get a win, Rays manager Kevin Cash said.dddddddddddd.After Erasmo Ramirez went two scoreless innings for the Rays, AL All-Star Alex Colome got the final three outs to get his 20th save in as many chances.Manny Machado had a first-inning sacrifice fly and Pedro Alvarez hit a solo homer in the sixth for the Orioles.

The only third baseman with more against Baltimore is Alex Rodriguez, who has 32.NUMBERS GAMEBundy allowed three homers in his 38 innings out of the bullpen. ... Baltimore LHP Donnie Hart made his big league debut and retired both batters he faced in the sixth. It was fun, Hart said.
