Over-reaction Monday Week 12 ~ MAVS

GO COWBOYS!!!

Week 12 Matchup: Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants... We Won!!!! 24-21... Crazy!!! 

If I can make it there... I'll make it anywhere... it's up to you, New York... New York... a little Frank Sinatra to set the mood... listen while you read...

Those Cowboys... dang. This looked like a 5A high school game in the first half, but then we started seeing some grown men bust out their B+ game! 

They did it. They beat the Giants twice this year! My love for the Cowboys is the most confusing relationship in my life! Don't question it, they will always be my team. You take the good with the bad. That's life. That's sports. 

~ Tony Romo (our QB) - the kid held his own today! Not the impact player from the Broncos game, but definitely more of that guy than any other week! He had to be, they were going to shut down any hint of a run game... and they did. Murray and Dunbar rushed for a combined 107 yards, vs the Giants Running Backs who rushed for 202 yards. Despite the shut-down, Romo had 9 passes to Dez Bryant (our WR) for a combined total of 102 yards! (Glad he got those shots in his back! He did what I needed him to do this week... ha!) Romo also became the first player in Cowboys history to throw over 200 Touchdowns! Congrats Romo! It hasn't been pretty, but you've earned it! 

~ Jason Witten (our TE) - love this guy! He is hit or miss each week, depending on how good the other teams Offensive Line is. He is really good at blocking, so sometimes he does more of that during the game instead of running routes and catching the ball. He caught 2 touchdown passes today! Game on Witten... game on! 

~ Dallas Defense... wow. They had a Pick 6! ("Pick 6" is when the defense "picks - intercepts" the ball and runs it in for a touchdown! so they get 6 points for the TD!) Basically our D was fighting hard tonight! We needed to see that! They got to Eli Manning, just like they knew the would have to in order to mess up Victor Cruz and the guy I forgot to mention, Ruben Randle. Our D is banged-up and probably shot-up (legally), but they played with some heart tonight! There was a bit of trash talking going on before the game between teams... read on... but we came out on top! "Leave it on the field!" 

As for the New York Giants... we may see them on our road to the Super Bowl... ha! See... this is where my optimistic bi-polarisim kicks in! :) 

Standings... do a little dance... we are 6-5... tied with the Ph$#$#%%$^@ Ea&%*#... I found a way around typing the name of that team! Whew! Anywho... we are tied with them and the Giants are trailing us at 4-7. Washington is at 3-7 with very little hope of their team having a Kumbaya moment this season and rebounding! Close your eyes... it's a bumpy ride from here on out! 

GO MAVS!!!

Mavs record is... 9-5... sittin' pretty in the West! (We are in the Western Conference) 

~ Well, as I've talked about... our top players continue to be Dirk and Monte Ellis. The other guys, Vince Carter and Shawn Marion are playing well too... however, Marion's injured and is "day-to-day!" (Day-to-day... this means they are just seeing how the player feels, based on doctor recommendations, etc to see if he can play or not.)


~ With Marion out, the other guys need to step up and play better D! Our lack of Defense and Rebounds are going to kill us later in the season if we don't start cultivating those skills now!

GO RANGERS!!!

~ No other major trades have been made. I will let you know if you should start crying because they're getting rid of our favorite players.

Random Info:
~ Leave it to a beer commercial to put life into perspective. I'm sure most of you saw this... it's about sports, friendship, life and love. Love is an action. You can choose to love someone. It's called sacrifice. Humility. Selflessness. And it's glorious! A God given act that we can do to let others know how important they are and how much their life is valued! Love someone today, and this week! Be Thankful for what you have... not what you don't. My glass isn't half-full... it's full! 



Thanksgiving Football Schedule... play a quick game of football with the family during halftime of each game! Burn some calories then Eat More Chicken... or Turkey! (great... now I'm craving Chick-fil-A)

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. No hitting batters, no one getting ejected. We need our entire roster in the ALCS. We need to play Texas Ranger baseball. Period. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Games 1 and 2 are this Thursday at 3:30 PM and Friday at Noon in Arlington, TX. Games 3 and 4 are Sunday and Monday in Toronto. ...

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 ...

Week 12: Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ Staubach's Final Game vs. Redskins ~ Be Thankful

GO COWBOYS!!! 9-1 1st in the NFL  (I've died and gone to Heaven) 1st in the NFC EAST Thursday, November 24th Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys  (home team is second) 3:30 PM CST on FOX Full of hope, I predicted last week that the Cowboys would beat the Ravens by 11 points. We won by 10.  Y'all, this is better than I could have ever hoped for... in my football fan life. We went up against the #1 Defense in the league, threw up 97 rushing yards from Zeke and 301 passing yards by Dak. What? Who are we? So much fun!  THANKSGIVING DAY RIVALRY...  Before you get all tired off Tryptophan ... make sure to  check out this link and read about the NFL history on Thanksgiving Day . The two most consistent teams to play are the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions.  The Washington Redskins... our NFC East Division Rival. We have played the Redskins twice a year since 1961.  That is a long time!  T...
