Hour 2: Silver Lining
On the second hour of First Take, Stephen A., Ryan Clark, and Dan Orlovsky discuss whether the game last night changed their expectations for the Cowboys. Then, the guys move to Sunday and what a loss would say about the Ravens. Later, the group digs in on Micah Parsons' comments about his new locker room, and whether they're a dig at his former Cowboys teammates. Then, Joe Fortenbaugh joins the show to give his Best Bets for the biggest matchups this weekend. And the guys debate the question, "Which New York team has the more intriguing Week 1 matchup, the Giants or the Jets?" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
