Watching the Dallas Cowboys practice from your hotel room
The Dallas Cowboys have just two postseason berths in seven full season under Jason Garrett. They didn't make it past the divisional round either season (2014 and 2016).
So maybe it shouldn't come as a surprise that Vegas oddsmakers aren't too high on the Cowboys' chances of turning it around in 2018.
The latest odds peg the Cowboys at 40-to-1 to snap what's become a 23-year Super Bowl drought, according to oddsmakers at www.SportsBettingDime.com.
Twelve teams have better odds than the Cowboys. The New England Patriots are the favorites at 7-to-1 followed by the reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles (9/1), Los Angeles Rams (11/1), Green Bay Packers (15/1) and Minnesota Vikings (16/1).

SAVE NOWIn fact, oddsmakers don't even view the Cowboys as a playoff team with seven NFC teams ahead of them in Super Bowl odds. Along with the Eagles, Rams, Packers and Vikings, the New Orleans Saints (18/1), Atlanta Falcons (26/1) and San Francisco 49ers (35/1) rank above the Cowboys.
Clearly, oddsmakers aren't banking on Dak Prescott to rebound from a sophomore slump or the new-look receiving and tight ends corps to do much. The defense isn't getting much more love even though they bolstered their unit with first-round pick Leighton Vander Esch.
The Cowboys aren't one of 10 teams with odds to have the 'best scoring offense,' or 'best scoring defense.'
The only Cowboys player listed in MVP odds is running back Ezekiel Elliott (55/1), significantly trailing quarterbacks such as Tom Brady (8/1), Aaron Rodgers (8/1) and Carson Wentz (12/1).
Other Cowboys of note listed among odds -- WR Michael Gallup as offensive rookie of the year (39/1); Vander Esch as defensive rookie of the year (22/1); Elliott as rushing champion (11/2); Garrett as first coach fired (19/1); former WR Dez Bryant (1/8) and former RB DeMarco Murray (1/3) being on an NFL roster by Week 1.

Here's what Dak Prescott is focusing on to improve his passing
Rollie, a successful Australian shoe brand, is returning to America to expand the brand that has become popular among creatives. Here, the CEO, founder and designer, Vince Lebon, sat down with FN to discuss his brand strategy.
FN: After taking a step away from the U.S., why is now the time to come back and expand the Rollie presence here?
Vince Lebon: “I got to a point where it was doing really well in Australia. Most [of our customers] have four to seven pairs on average, and we have the data to back that up. Now we are trying to go to a bigger market and push it out here, so I moved my wife and two kids to Brooklyn, N.Y., because it was time to do this market properly. [For us], it’s about distribution, which is why our Nordstrom and Anthropologie partners are such
big players.”

FN: How do you plan to make an impact in the States?
VL: “We want to make sure we are servicing everyone. I have three wholesale reps now. It’s about people experiencing the brand. To build here with very little audience, it’s a challenge. It’s about how you get in front of people. For us, that’s with collaborations. [Next up], we are partnering with the influencer Oh Joy and artist Timothy Goodman.”
FN: Where have you found the most success since launching six years ago?
VL: “We have a cult following in Australia and New Zealand, in particular. The market is very small, with 24 million people, and we are doing 100,000 pairs a season over there. I found that good vibes and using business as a force for good to create community [are where the] values really come through. I’m also very product-heavy. I made the outsole and last, and the [shoe] is a complete original. The collection is made in China, with some in Portugal and India, [and retails from $120 to $150]. It has memory foam padding, EVA rubber soles, calf lining. Technology is important. Even though the shoes look so simple, every line, every component, has been considered. We essentially build everything off the Derby last. It’s super-lightweight and fun. It’s comfort-casual with fashion content in there. It’s a shoe that people don’t have to think twice about.”
FN: Who is the Rollie consumer?
VL: “We have a creative fan base with musicians and photographers. We also have the confident women who aren’t afraid to wear wacky colors. People have connected to the brand because of the stories we tell. My wife’s nickname is Rollie, and she was a flight attendant who traveled all over the world and wanted to be comfortable in shoes that wouldn’t weigh down her luggage. That’s where this idea came from. We promote travel and exploring. It’s also not so much about the shoes but what you do in the shoes. We want to create this feeling of empowerment. Don’t live a boring life, and don’t wear boring shoes. Life is meant to be fun, and you’re meant to be comfortable doing it.”
FN: How does e-commerce fit into your business model?
VL: “We were a wholesale business and started to focus energy online in 2015. Now the business there is big. It’s 40 percent of our revenue. We won the Most Innovative Ecommerce Brand award for BigCommerce in 2017. While we are still new to the market here, it will [continue] to be a big focus for us, alongside our partners, which include a handful of leading independent [wholesale] accounts. For us, online lets us tell our story effectively.”

Though there may not be any new episodes of Fixer Upper to look forward to, fans of Chip and Joanna Gaines are still closely following the couple’s lives. And the HGTV hit can still stir up controversy, especially if you try to tell a diehard Fixer Upper fan that some of the design trends featured on the show are going out of style. Another point of controversy? Some people look at how perfectly every episode turned out, and have to wonder: Is Fixer Upper fake?
Let’s examine the evidence and see how things look for everybody’s favorite HGTV show.
Homeowners don’t really go house-hunting with Chip and Joanna

Fixer Upper fans love the scenes where Chip and Joanna Gaines go househunting with the homeowners. So when it came to light that many homeowners have already chosen a home when cameras start rolling, many Fixer Upper critics called the show a “fake.” But the casting application never hid the fact that many applicants had already purchased the home they wanted to renovate, or at least had one in mind. Many homeowners who appeared on the show had already chosen a house before filming commences. And their reactions to the home, their excitement on design day, and the surprise of the reveal are all real.
Producers have to film things multiple times
Ever get the sense that certain conversations on Fixer Upper were staged? That could be because sometimes, producers need to film multiple takes to get the shots they need. Rachel Whyte, a homeowner who appeared on Fixer Upper, told Country Living that producers would often have to film things multiple times. So sometimes, they would ask the homeowners to repeat what they said to get it from another angle. “But what happens really is real,” Rachel Whyte explained. “The reactions and conversations are real. The hard thing is remembering what you said before when asked to repeat it.”
But some homeowners filmed all their scenes in one day
The typical episode of Fixer Upper appears to give the homeowners a leisurely timeline. And it also seems to show them meeting up with Chip and Joanna Gaines on numerous occasions. But that wasn’t always how it worked in real life. One homeowner who appeared on Fixer Upper told Apartment Therapy that he and his wife filmed all of their shots in a single day. Jeff Jones explained, “We did all our shots in one day. It was exhausting.” The scheduling typically happens on the production company’s terms — which can mean that homeowners had to take time off from work to appear on the show.
You have to sign off on a budget at the beginning
California driver s license restriction codes 47 59. It’s also possible that those “surprise” expenses that pop up halfway through the typical Fixer Upper episode aren’t quite as spontaneous as they appear. Whyte told Country Living that homeowners have to sign off on a budget at the beginning of the project. “The budget goes towards your wish list, but the design team will also make decisions about what they think the home needs to be a TV-worthy renovation.” So if something that affects the budget does come up, the crew doesn’t necessarily have to consult the homeowners to choose a solution.
The reveal actually is a big surprise
Country Living learned that though homeowners get a blueprint sketch when they sign up to appear on Fixer Upper, their reactions on design day are real. Similarly, Chip and Joanna Gaines really would ask homeowners not to drive by their home as renovations take place. Of course, there’s no guarantee that every homeowner who’s ever appeared on the show complied. But the surprised reactions on reveal day are typically very real. It happens in real life as it does on TV, giant poster and all.
Chip and Joanna wouldn’t always renovate the entire house
Another topic that tends to come up when you pose the question, “Is Fixer Upper fake”? Whether Chip and Joanna and their crew typically renovated the entire house. After all, the reveal on many episodes didn’t include every room in the house. One homeowner told Country Living that she and her husband opted to renovate some of the rooms themselves, in an attempt to save money. If we had to venture a guess, we’d say that that’s probably a common choice.
The furniture isn’t all included
Fixer Upper critics — or those who consider the show a fake — also get upset when they hear that homeowners don’t get to keep all the furniture and accessories used to stage the house. But that should hardly come as a surprise; high-end furniture and antiques get expensive very quickly. Does that make Fixer Upper fake? We don’t think so. After all, real estate agents often stage homes to help potential buyers see the potential. Plus, homeowners who appeared on the show could buy anything they liked and wanted to keep. Plus, pieces built by Clint, or other custom work by Joanna’s favorite artisans, always stayed in the home.
