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 :)

Dirk Nowitzki ~ Dallas Cowboys Free Agency ~ Texas Rangers ~ Selection Sunday ~ Loveland, CO

GO MAVS!!! 27-36  (wins - losses) Dirk, Dirk, he's our man... if he can't do it... no one can!!!  Well, only 5 other guys can and have.  Dirk is now 6th on the all time list of NBA players to score 30,000 points . This is a crazy accomplishment. He's played over 1,300 games in his 19 year career with the Dallas Mavericks.  His commitment to this team and to our city has been life changing for many. He does a lot in our community through the Dirk's Heroes Foundation . Fundraising and giving grants to non-profits in our community and around the world that are making an impact in the lives of children and families in need.  Back in the day, the Mavs games were fun to watch with the " Three J's " - but we didn't win a lot, and we never thought we would make it to the playoffs consistently, much less to the NBA Finals. ( Three J's: Jimmy Jackson, Jamal Mashburn, Jason Kidd - here's a funn...

Over-reaction Monday Week 8

GO COWBOYS!!! Cowboys lose to the Detroit Lions... 30-31 This game was a bit crazy. If you ever wanted to know about football, all it entails and how crazy people are for watching it and loving it... this a great game to watch!  Bottom line...  ~ Detroit Defense - they did a great job stopping our offense. Passing and running. They held Tony Romo (our QB) to 206 yards, which 110 of those were on 2 TD passes. And they held Joseph Randal (our RB) to 14 carries for 26 yards. ( aka... not good ) Ndamukong Suh - Defensive Tackle for the Lions, is a crazy man. Literally. He had his D ready today.  ~ Matthew Stafford - Detroit's QB that is from Highland Park, played for UGA. He played well... The kid threw for 488 yards and had a very sneaky TD at the end of the game to win it for the Lions. Detroit's Offense completed 29 1st downs vs. Dallas' 13 1st downs. ( there are 4 downs in football... which means you have 4 chances to get the ball 10 yards, running or ...

Week 17: Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles ~ Mavs ~ College Bowl Games ~ Happy New Year

GO COWBOYS!!! 13-2 Tied for 1st in the NFL  with the NE Patriots  (league) 1st in the NFC  (conference) 1st in the NFC EAST  (division) Sunday, January 1st Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles 12:00 Noon CST on FOX This is the last week of the Regular Season, and the Cowboys are looking to win their 14th game! I'm still in disbelief! Not that a regular season record means that much, the New England Patriots were undefeated in 2008, 16-0, and lost the Super Bowl to the New York Giants . Those darn Giants; they keep coming out of nowhere.  Speaking of the Giants, since the Cowboys lost to the Giants in Week 14, Dak Prescott  has completed 47 of 56 pass attempts, for 491 yards, 3 TD's ( touchdowns ) and ZERO interceptions. Nice comeback kid!  If the Cowboys win on Sunday, and Prescott plays a few downs, he will set a Rookie record winning his 14th game of the season.  The Game Sunday...  This ga...
