Game Day Delights: How Cowboys Fans Are Merging Football, Fútbol, and Food!

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) – The Dallas Cowboys are losing their edge, Weston McKennie is shining at Juventus, and there’s some pizza talk ahead.

Let’s dive into the Cowboys first. What’s happening with this team? It feels like they are drifting into irrelevancy. Jerry Jones, their owner, seems to have stepped back from his competitive spirit. Sure, he led the team to three Super Bowl victories in the ’90s, but those glory days are long gone. The last championship was nearly 30 years ago! How much longer can the fans cling to the past?

Jones hired Brian Schottenheimer as head coach, but his name wasn’t even on anyone’s radar. The team could have brought back Kellen Moore, their former offensive coordinator, but they opted for Schottenheimer instead. It appears that even Cowboys legend Michael Irvin thinks they need divine intervention to find success in the future, especially with tough competition from the Eagles and Commanders in their division.

Now, let’s talk about soccer. Weston McKennie has been on fire. He scored an impressive goal in the Champions League for Juventus, leading them to a 2-1 win over PSV. Just this past Sunday, he played a key role in Juventus’s victory against Serie A leaders Inter Milan, helping his team secure a 1-0 win. McKennie is reliable and consistent, making him a vital player for both club and country. With the World Cup around the corner, fans are eager to see more of his talent on the big stage.

And oh, pizza lovers, listen up! Over the years, I’ve shared my favorite pizza spots in New Orleans. These are Gio’s, Forbidden Pizza, St. Pizza, Pizza Delicious, Zee’s, and Il Supremo. Pizza expert Dave Portnoy from Barstool Sports recently visited New Orleans for the Super Bowl and ranked some of these places. His ratings match my taste! Here are his scores:

• Forbidden Pizza – 8.3
• Il Supremo – 8.2
• Pizza Delicious – 7.8
• St. Pizza – 7.8
• Zee’s – 7.8
• Gio’s – 7.6
• Tower Pizza – 7.5

It’s worth noting that Mid City Pizza has new owners since his last review. I’ve tried pizza at nearly every significant spot in the city, so my list of favorites is always evolving.
