Over-reaction Monday Week 13 ~ MAVS


GO COWBOYS!!!


Week 13 Matchup: Dallas Won!!!! We beat the Oakland Raiders!! 31-24 :) 

Did you see the first play of the game. If you did, Terrance Williams (replacement for Dwayne Harris who normally catches the ball on Special Teams) dropped punt that lead to a touchdown for the Oakland Raiders. Wow. That had a sucker-punch feeling to it after eating my Thanksgiving Meal! Not the best way to digest! Good thing is... it got better. Not prettier, but better, because we won. 

 ~ Dallas Defense. Man, we need Sean Lee back. He's the linebacker I told you was out last week and again this week with a hamstring injury. I'm not saying he's the best player ever, but the rest of the Defense clearly plays smarter when that kid is on the field. We had one interception by Brandon Carr; aside from that, it was not good. We play the Chicago Bears a week from this coming  Monday. This gives our Defense 11 days to read the play book, practice it and execute! 

 ~ Dallas Offense. Ugh. Roller-coaster. We have a run game with Dunbar and Murray (144 yards), then we don't. We have a passing game with Dez Bryant and Jason Witten (208 yards), then we don't. Cole Beasley made his flash appearance with 3 receptions. Dez scored a TD, giving Tony Romo his 25th consecutive game with a TD pass. Great stats for Romo, I'm just glad it came with a W! (W=win) Like I said for the Defense... we have 11 days until our next game... our Offense should use this time to study up on the next four teams leading into the playoffs! 

 ~ Dan Bailey, our kicker. He was perfect again today! Keep your expectations high for this kid! He is the most consistent player on our team! :) 

 Cowboys next game... Monday, Dec 9 at Chicago 7:30 PM CST. Game On! 

Standings... The Dallas Cowboys are 7-5. It has NOT been pretty, or easy, but that's not what football is about! It was just as messy when the New York Giants won their Super Bowl in 2009... limping in. We will see what the E*g*es can do this week to possibly tie us. We're not too worried about the Giants. And the Redskins are playing blindfolded... but they'll get great draft picks next year!! 

 Buy Dallas Cowboys Gear for Christmas!! :)

GO MAVS!!!

Mavs record is... 9-6... we need to hold on to this lead in the West... (We are in the Western Conference) 

~ Leave it to a Rookie to help us get the W against Golden State! Shane Larkin made a 3 point shot to help the Mavs lead against the Warriors! Dirk had 22 points and Monte Ellis was assist man. ("assist" - this is when a player passes the ball to another player and they score off that pass. It is called an assist. They get credited for this type of play and some guys make an entire career off of if! Just ask Jason Kidd!) 

~ We need to play better Defense and get more rebounds. I used to joke that the team who has the most rebounds at the end of the game wins. But that may actually be scientific?!? We'll see...

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:
~ Now that you probably ate way too much today! You should beat the New Years Resolution crowd and start your workout routine today!! :) It's so simple! Wake up, do a few pushups, crunches or join a gym with classes. Find a friend to walk with or meet you at the gym!! The mental part of getting motivated to go to the gym or put in your workout DVD is way harder than the work you'll do once you get there! So... just get there! Make it happen! Stay strong! Or get strong if you're not yet! I have a few DVD's I love and I make time for... Bar Method... it is a great workout for ladies. I think men would get bored with it... unless you want to tone your glutes with isometrics - ha! :) Happy Exercising!!! 

 Best Commercial during the Games... turkey pet...

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...

Dallas Mavs ~ Texas Rangers ~ Thoughts on the Super Bowl ~ Dallas is Freezing

Dallas  Mavericks 13-14 (wins-losses) I feel like we've been on a rollercoaster with the Mavs, but I like the direction we're going now. As for how NBA and NFL players feel about our cold weather... that's a funnier story. The Mavs longest stretch of losses was six games in mid-January. It was not fun and the team looked confused as to why they couldn't pull out a win.  A few guys have been out, off and on, due to illness or injury, but now they're all back and are rolling. Especially Kristaps Porzingis .  They keep joking that he's playing how he did back in September 2020 when they were in the NBA bubble, before his knee injury. Now that he has healed and is playing more minutes per game, he has been on fire! To see a 7'3" guy drain 3 pointers like he does is amazing. I mean, if he raises his arms, they're already above the rim, so he just has to put the right arc on it and swish. So cool!  His stats vs. the Pelicans in Friday night's victory:...

The Masters, in all its beauty ~ Texas Rangers ~ Dallas Mavs ~ Get Outside

The Masters The ultimate Bucket List item and one of the ones that exceeded my expectations. If you play golf, have a family member who makes you watch golf or take naps to golf, you understand that The Masters is the holy grail of golf tournaments. It is the only PGA tournament that is played in the same location every year, Augusta, Georgia.  Thanks to very dear friends of mine, I had the chance to walk through the azaleas, experience the serenity of Amen Corner and watch the players skip golf balls across the water at Hole 16. If they allowed people to sleep on the grass, I would have stayed forever.  We were there for two days of practice rounds, which is fun because the players are relaxed and cut up with one another. They cancelled the Par 3 Contest, which was sad, but just being there was the most wonderful feeling ever. You can't take phones in, so I even called my parents from the phones at Augusta, just to do so. We also didn't realize you could bring in a real camer...
