Patrick Dumont purchases Miriam Adelson’s share of Mavericks, now owns 69% of team
Dallas Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont has bought Miriam Adelson’s share, increasing his ownership to 69% after the deal closed last month. The transaction keeps existing minority owners Mark Cuban (27%) and Mary Stanton (4%) in place, and Dumont retains the option to acquire up to 20% of Cuban’s stake, potentially boosting his control to 89% of a franchise now valued at $5.8 billion by Forbes. Since taking over in 2023, Dumout has overhauled the front office—hiring CEO Rick Welts, President Ethan Casson, GM Masai Ujiri, and coach Dusty May—and is developing a new basketball‑only entertainment complex at the former Valley View Mall. The move underscores his long‑term commitment as the team builds around young star Cooper Flagg.

How Brian Schottenheimer is failing the Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys sit at 3‑5 in the 2026 season, and head coach/play‑caller Brian Schottenheimer is being blamed for the team's collapse. The blog cites his risky quarterback‑sneak calls, poor use of kicker Brandon Aubrey, recurring penalties, and a stagnant offense that fails to exploit star receivers or establish a ground game. Recent losses to the Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens highlight clock‑management blunders and goal‑line missteps, while Schottenheimer’s post‑game press conferences appear out of touch. The author argues that the Cowboys’ talent is wasted under coaching that engineers its own defeats.

Zay Jones Deep Fantasy League Pick-up – Bourne to IR
Kendrick Bourne lands on injured reserve after an ankle injury in the Cardinals' 33‑30 OT win over Dallas, ending his rookie Arizona stint with 26 catches for 263 yards in eight games. To replace him, Arizona promotes Harrison Wallace III and re‑signs former wideout Zay Jones to the practice squad, while Michael Wilson plays through two broken ribs and remains a questionable WR2/flex. Tight end Trey McBride, now the clear TE1 in PPR formats, should see a boost in targets. Fantasy managers are advised to monitor Wilson’s health and consider Zay Jones as a quicker‑than‑expected depth option.
Dumont Family Takes Full Control of Mavericks After Buying Out Miriam Adelson
The Dallas Mavericks are now 69% owned by Patrick Dumont and his wife Sivan Ochshorn after buying out Miriam Adelson’s shares, completing a deal announced last month.

He also hints at acquiring an additional 20% from Cuban. On the court, Dallas rebuilds around Cooper Flagg after the Luka Doncic trade, starting the season 4‑3 under the Dumont family’s leadership.
Tyler Allgeier Fantasy Spike: Jeremiyah Love to IR
Arizona Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love (third overall, 2026) lands on injured reserve with a high‑ankle sprain after a tackle in the 33‑30 overtime win over Dallas, sidelining him for 4‑5 weeks. In six games he has 268 rushing yards, one rushing TD, 11 catches and a receiving TD (3.5 yds/carry). His absence boosts Tyler Allgeier, who signed a two‑year deal, into a flex‑able RB2 role, while Bam Knight sees more carries. Fantasy managers should stash Love if they have IR space; otherwise consider dropping him and targeting Allgeier (or Knight) ahead of the Week 9 clash at Seattle.

Rashan Gary’s inexcusable penalty opened the door to final collapse
Late in the fourth quarter, Dallas led 27-17 when Cowboys defensive end Rashan Gary's roughing‑the‑passer penalty erased a third‑and‑10 incompletion and gave Arizona a fresh set of downs. One play later, Gardner Minshew connected with Trey McBride for a touchdown, cutting the lead to 27-24 and sparking a comeback that ended in a 33-30 overtime loss for Dallas. While other lapses hurt the Cowboys, Gary's helmet‑to‑helmet hit is pinpointed as the turning point that handed the Cardinals a lifeline.
