It seems Cooper Beebe's big, hairy belly is a bit of a good luck charm ... 'cause after the Cowboys center showed it off during the Stars game Tuesday -- Dallas pulled out a huge playoff win!!

Beebe popped his top in his luxury box seat in the second period of the Stars' postseason tilt with the Winnipeg Jets -- and just minutes after his bare tummy was broadcast on the American Airlines Center's jumbotron, Mikael Granlund buried a goal to give Dallas a lead!

In the next period, Granlund netted one more ... and the Stars ultimately won, 3-1.

The beef between DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons is all over the internet … and Cowboys legend Drew Pearson tells TMZ Sports he's sure tired of seeing it.

The Hall of Fame wideout sat down with us on Friday to talk about the feud between the former Dallas teammates ... and he made it clear, he wished the guys would keep their dirty laundry in-house.

"Too much social media!" the 74-year-old exclaimed with his head in his hands.

Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence have gone from teammates to enemies in a hurry ... the Cowboys superstar unloaded on the former Dallas pass rusher on Thursday, straight up calling the new Seahawk a "clown."

The beef all started over some comments Lawrence made to Seattle media a day after he inked a three-year, $42 million contract to leave the 'Boys for the Pacific Northwest.

In explaining his decision to bolt from Big D, Lawrence told one reporter, "Dallas is my home ... but, you know, I know for sure I'm not going win a Super Bowl there."

Forget about a new left tackle and some improved QB play ... Michael Irvin says Brian Schottenheimer's going to need some holy water and crucifixes to turn around the Cowboys -- telling TMZ Sports he's convinced the only way the new head coach succeeds in Dallas is through an act of God.

The Playmaker went on a diatribe about Jerry Jones' newest hire while in New Orleans last week ... making it 100 percent clear he doesn't think Schottenheimer has much of a chance at wins without God's help.

In the middle of a crowded Bourbon Street ... Irvin yelled at the top of his lungs that a higher power is going to be necessary in order to make the Schottenheimer move ultimately make sense for the Cowboys.

Ryan Clark says it might be time for Mike Tomlin to pull up his stakes in Pittsburgh ... telling TMZ Sports a change of scenery could result in an Andy Reid-like run for his former head coach.

It's now been eight years since Tomlin last won a playoff game, and while many online are calling for his head, Clark said his old team should absolutely NOT fire the 52-year-old.

Instead, the ex-Steelers defensive back told us Tomlin should explore his other options ... because he truly believes the coach still has it.

Shedeur Sanders added a bit more fuel to all of the Deion-to-the-Dallas-Cowboys speculation on Tuesday night ... as he made a somewhat peculiar appearance at the Mavericks game in Big D.

The Colorado Buffaloes quarterback scooped up courtside seats for Dallas' tilt with the Nuggets at American Airlines Center ... and even though he's a native of Texas, the timing of his decision to hit the town sure got Cowboys fans buzzing.

Jerry Jones' team, of course, is looking for a new head coach after parting ways with Mike McCarthy on Monday -- and a whole lot of internet detectives wondered out loud if Shedeur's emergence in Dallas this week means his dad could very well be Jerry's next man up.

Mike McCarthy out ... Deion Sanders in??

If Drew Pearson were running things down in Dallas, he says that's exactly the way it'd go ... telling TMZ Sports Prime should be the Cowboys' "No. 1 choice" for their vacant head coaching gig after McCarthy's Monday departure.

"I think he's capable," the Hall of Famer said of the Buffaloes' current head man. "There's no question he has the qualifications to do it. He paid his dues. He came through the ranks and he's proven it each step of the way that he knows what he's doing."

1:00 PM PT -- Jerry Jones just confirmed he and Mike McCarthy are going their separate ways ... revealing in a statement Monday afternoon the two sides never even got to the contract negotiation phase in their postseason talks.

"It became mutually clear that it would be better for each of us to head in a different direction," Jones said. "I thank Mike and wish him, his wife Jessica and their family the best."

Jones added a search for the Cowboys' next head coach will begin "immediately."

Mike McCarthy's status as Cowboys head coach is still up in the air ... but ex-NFL star turned Dallas assistant coach Domata Peko tells TMZ Sports it's quite clear what Jerry Jones needs to do -- bring back Coach!

We caught up with the former Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle -- who was hired to work on McCarthy's staff this season -- at LAX this week ... when we asked him about Mike's future in Big D.

"Every time you play a season, you never know who's gonna have a great year [and] who is not gonna have a good year," Peko said. "He's a proven coach, like I said, and a Super Bowl champion, as well. So I don't know anybody out there that could do a better job."

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey is issuing a "my bad" after nailing a cheerleader with his kick on Sunday ... writing a personal note to the woman and wishing her well following the mishap.

Michelle Siemienowski shared the apology on her Instagram ... one day after she was hit in the head during Aubrey's kickoff in the Cowboys' Week 18 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

The incident went viral, and Aubrey -- a pro soccer player before signing with Dallas in 2023 -- did his best to state the obvious and let Siemienowski it was an accident.

The Dallas Cowboys have to be happy their season is over ... but, there was one more embrassing moment their team had to endure -- 'cause their kicker smashed a ball and hit one of their cheerleaders in the head.

During a second quarter kickoff, Brandon Aubrey -- Dallas' usually sure-footed kicker -- kicked a ball that sailed out of bounds ... already a penalty, which was bad enough.

But, it gets worse ... 'cause the ball careened out of bounds -- and found the back of a cheerleader's head. She falls to the ground, knocked over by the sheer force of the ball, and the people hurry to her check on her.

Armani Latimer -- the Cowboys cheerleader who danced without a wig earlier this month -- tells TMZ Sports she's thrilled with the way her performance has brought awareness to alopecia.

Latimer explained to us this week that the national conversation she kicked up by cheering on the Cowboys against the Bengals on Dec. 9 at AT&T Stadium while bald has warmed her heart.

She says the responses she's seen have all been mostly positive ... and some people have even approached her to tell her about how it helped them learn more about the autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss.

Cowboys fans hoping for a new head coach might have to wait a while longer ... Troy Aikman tells TMZ Sports he thinks his former team will stick with Mike McCarthy in 2025.

The current Dallas sideline manager's contract expires following this season ... and after his team has floundered to a 5-8 record so far this year -- there's been a whole lot of people in Texas eager to see a new face in the Cowboys' headset.

But, when we caught up with Aikman on Wednesday ... he told us he doesn't believe Mike's going anywhere.

Archie Manning is backtracking on his hopes of seeing Arch suit up for America's Team ... claiming his comment about his grandson partnering with the Dallas Cowboys wasn't supposed to be taken seriously.

Manning -- who played in the NFL in the '70s and '80s -- recently made headlines after a TikTok user asked him on camera where he would like to see the current Texas Longhorns QB land in the pros.

Peyton and Eli's dad replied, "I hope he'll play three years in Texas. I hope he plays three more years."

Dak Prescott is about to be a father of two ... 'cause months after welcoming his first child to the world, the Dallas Cowboys quarterback and his fiancée revealed they're expecting another baby!!

The exciting news was revealed on Tuesday via the folks at Sports Illustrated Swimsuit ... showing Sarah Jane Ramos holding her baby bump while wearing an elegant ensemble during a photoshoot.

The baby will arrive in May 2025 ... and it's another girl. As we previously reported, Sarah Jane gave birth to their first kiddo, Margaret Jane "MJ" Rose, in February ... and her birthday happens to fall on leap day.
