Over-reaction Monday Week 7

GO COWBOYS!!!

Cowboys beat Philly! 17-3 

Just keepin' it real in The City of Brotherly Love! The game started out with many, many penalties! ("penalty" - when a player does something illegal and a yellow flag is thrown by the referee) The Refs seemed to be on the Eagles side, but they got it (somewhat) evened out by the second half. 

Players worth talking about... 

~ The Dallas Defense - talk about stepping up! Our Defensive Line (big dudes trying to tackle the QB at all times) are banged up! We have three Defensive Ends out of the game right now, so our Secondary played a huge role in this game! (Remember - "secondary" - the fast guys who guard the Wide Receivers) Carr, Church and Sean Lee (actually a linebacker) got it done and held the Eagles to only 3 points! Air high five fellas! 

~ Joseph Randle and Phillip Tanner (Running Backs - RB's) did a great job backing up for DeMarco Murray (remember he's out due to a knee injury). Randle did a lot of the leg work, and Tanner was able to score a TD ("touchdown")! 

~ Tony Romo (QB) was able to connect most of the time to Dez Bryant, his #1 receiver! He hit Jason Witten (Tight End - TE) a few times, but was able to score with Terrance Williams (WR). (He averaged 11.8 yards per catch today... Not too bad for the Rookie from Baylor!

As for the Eagles... Vick is still hurt (their main QB), Nick Foles left the game with a head injury (he'll be okay), which brought in the 3rd String QB - Matt Barkley. He played at USC and had a nice welcome into the NFL from Sean Lee (our linebacker who intercepted one of his passes). Needless to say - I enjoyed the poor showing from the Eagles. Nothing personal, it's business. 

Standings... We are no longer tied for 1st in the NFC East... We are 1st! We play the Detroit Lions next week in Detroit. Two 4-3 teams going against each other! Preview to come mid-week! 

Random Info:
~ Two random thoughts... 

One - have you ever watched the movie Gladiator? It is my "flip to" station tonight during the Broncos vs. Colts game (Go Peyton)... and it is one of my favorite movies of all time! Don't watch it with the kids in the room, but do watch it in the near future! I quote this movie often, as we all should... "Strength and Honor!" 

Two - for those of you are still following the MLB playoffs... we now have our World Series teams! The St. Louis Cardinals vs The Boston Red Sox! If you've ever been to Fenway Park (Boston) - you would know that it is an amazing place to play the sport of America's Past-time! The Boston Red Sox are in the American League - which is the league the Texas Rangers are in! I will be cheering for the Red Sox and the AL! For those of you who may remember this team from the movie Fever Pitch - yes, that is who I am referring to! And that is another great movie to add to your list for this week! World Series starts Wednesday night! 

Happy movie watching... Gladiator and Fever Pitch! #GoSox :)

POSTSEASON BASEBALL: Toronto Blue Jays vs. Texas Rangers ~ Baseball Etiquette ~ Dallas Cowboys Over-reaction Tuesday

GO RANGERS !!! ALDS PLAYOFFS - THIS THURSDAY It's official... we are playing the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS.  Dang it.  I can't stand the Blue Jays. They have trashy fans. No, literally, they throw trash on the field .  And Jose Bautista is a punk. No one needs your bat flippin' drama!  And we all remember this... Odor punching Bautista earlier this year. Watch . All the sports people are going to have a field day over this. I bet they wish they had given us the evening time slots now! Except that Toronto's TV ratings don't count, eh?  How we win... stay focused. Eliminate the drama. We beat them during the regular season. We can do it again.

Week 2: New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ UNT beat Arkansas ~ Scooter Magruder

GO Cowboys!!! 0-1 (wins ~ losses) New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys ( away team ~ home team ) Sunday, September 16 @ 7:20 PM CST on NBC If you watched the game last week, where we lost to the Carolina Panthers, you have most likely decided to stop watching the rest of the season. It was a rough game. And it makes a lot of people think that first string players should get more reps during pre-season games so your Week 1 game isn't a scrimmage. So, during the " scrimmage ," that was a regular season game, Dak matched Cam Newton ( Carolina's QB ) in passing yards and was pretty close in accuracy. So where did Carolina win? Aside from wearing out our Defense... Newton had 13 carries for 58 rushing yards, allowing him to score one of their two TD's ( touchdowns ). Zeke ( our RB, running back ) had 15 carries for 69 rushing yards and one TD. Carolina out played us in the run game because they're not afraid to allow their QB to run. They converted more 1st ...

Over-reaction Monday Week 2 ~ Texas Rangers ~ Subway Series, Matt Harvey

GO COWBOYS!!! 2-0  (wins - losses) Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles  - We won!!! Y'all. Everyone is injured. Yes, we won, but it was still as chaotic as it was against the Giants in Week 1.  Injuries... to our Starters...  Quarterback - Tony Romo is out with a collarbone fracture. For probably 8 weeks. He doesn't need surgery, which is a good thing!! He had this same injury in 2010, caused by the Giants. So, he needs to be a little more careful vs. the Eagles and Giants.  Tight End - Jason Witten is probable for this week with two ankle sprains and a sprained knee. He has proven he is one of the toughest guys ... EVER. He will most likely play through the pain, but if he wants to take a rest vs. the Atlanta Falcons this week, I'm okay with that.  Wide Receiver  -  Dez Bryant has a broken bone in his foot . He had surgery and will be out 4-6 weeks. If we go 6 weeks, the Cowboys have a BYE Week in Week 6, so technica...
