Over-reaction Monday Week 16 ~ MAVS ~ Rangers

GO COWBOYS!!!

Dallas Wins!
(What? Yes! You read that correctly) Christmas came early this year for the Boys and their fans! (that's us)


"All Day, baby, All Day!" That's pretty much what Pierre Garcon, Washington's WR, was saying to our Dallas Defense! Just a little friendly trash talk... He had 11 receptions for 144 yards and 1 TD. But it wasn't enough to beat the Cowboys. (as we all held or breath, something we're growing accustomed to)

~ Tony Romo, our QB, put it all on the line! And our O-Line helped him do that! They blocked the Washington Defense better today than they've done all year, buying Romo more time to scramble "in the pocket" and find an open man. ("in the pocket" this is the cute, imaginary circle where the QB dances around behind the line of scrimmage and the big dudes blocking for him). Romo was 17-27, with 226 passing yards, 2 TD's and 1 INT (interception). I've succumbed to the fact that Romo will throw at least 1 INT a game. It's like Jay Cutler (QB for the Chicago Bears), you take the good with the bad. 

~ DeMarco Murray, our RB. He had 96 yards and 1 TD. We rushed the ball 30% of the time during this game. I still think we could have done more on the ground, but it will take more than a close win to shift the mindset of our glorious coaching staff. Don't worry - against P@illy next week, we'll have to run! 

~ Dallas D. Hats off to Orlando Scandrick and Bruce Carter. They were the shinning stars on our Defense. Our banged-up linebackers were rejuvenated by Bruce Carter! He had 7 Tackles that were BIG for our D! Scandrick made the WR's on the Redskins think twice before going up and getting the ball!! Dude had 5 tackles and was monumental in taking the Redskins down in the 4th Qtr. Overall, we still look like a powder-puff team. But it was enough for today, and remember, that's all Jerry Jones needs! 

Standings... We are 8-7. Limping (literally, I think Romo limped the last 6 minutes of the 4th Qtr) into the Playoffs. Next week against Ph*lly - another must win. If we make it into the Playoffs, we're so not worthy of it! I guess sports is made up of "un-worthy" teams doing great things when it's all on the line! We'll see! Eyes shut, fingers crossed, lucky slippers are on! Not sure how to go to work this week like this, but I'll figure something out! Go Cowboys!!! 

GO MAVS!!!

Mavs record is... 15-12... we're sliding... 

~ Our team is back to relying on Dirk to do everything! This can't be the case. He needs a supporting cast. Cast Away was one of the few movies that could go with the camera on one dude for hours, and even he had an imaginary friend! ("wilson!!!") We don't want to see Dirk start talking to the basketball and passing to himself, do we? No. We have to play Defense! He can't be the lead scorer and rebounder! Step it up... Ellis, Marion, Calderon, Blair! 

~ Remember... go see a Game!! It's downtown at the AAC! Mavs Ticket Promotions

GO RANGERS!!!

~ Jon Daniels doesn't sleep. We now have a new Outfielder (guy who plays in the grassy part of the field, by the fence). Shin-Soo Choo. Come again? Yes, say that three times fast, then laugh at yourself and proceed. 

He signed a 7 year deal worth $130 million! They "hired" this kid to be our "lead-off" hitter! They got rid of Kinsler and need a guy who can get on base! Seems like a long contract to give a 31 year old, they weren't willing to give that to Hamilton and he was 29. Just sayin'. (I know, I know, Ocular keratitis)

Random Info:
~ So, I am not the biggest reality TV person. But I do fully admit to watching The Sing-Off! I have watched a few minutes here and there of American Idol, The Voice, etc... boring!!! Nothing is matched by the untamed sound of voices, no instruments, being exposed in the most magnificent of harmonies! 

If you are a fan of the movie Caddyshack, or not... you have to listen to this rendition of "I'm Alright" - remember - this is ALL VOICES... no electronic sounds making them sound good... pure/raw talent!!



This is the best show and the Finale is Monday night on NBC at 7:00 PM CST! Watch It!!! Pentatonix will be on there!!! The Winner from last season! Here they are singing Little Drummer Boy



Shawn from Boys II Men is a judge on there! Hilarious - I love that dude! Ben Folds is on there, he's so quirky, and best known for "She's A Brick" - but he's very technical and is awesome! Jewel is on there this year, Sara Barellis was on there last year, I loved Sara better, but it's fine, she's out being Brave and the dudes hold it down! 

My other favorite performance this year... Shake it Out!!!! (turn the volume up!!! Dance and soak it up!!!)


I'm voting for HOME FREE, btw!! Bring on the Country music!!! :) I love it!!! Even if you don't like Country - you'll love them!! 



MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

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. ...

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 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 ...
