Dallas Cowboys 2014 Thoughts ~ MAVS ~ Rangers

GO COWBOYS!!!

The Dallas Cowboys... I have a theory for next season. 

It is not extensive, nor is it thought out through every position. BUT! A few things have unfolded over the past week that could bode well for the Boys! 

Tim Tebow (please tell me you know who he is?!?!), recently anchored on the ESPN broadcast for the spectacular BCS Championship game (college football). He was dead on with his analysis and his predictions! He has also been working with a former NFL Player, Trent Dilfer, and trying to get back to being an NFL QB. (just keep listening...)

Johnny Manziel (please tell me you know who he is?!?!), QB for Texas A&M football team... Johnny Football! He and Tebow are quite different off the field (from what I see on TV), but He has a great ability to play the QB position and decided today to enter the NFL Draft next year! (Remember, I love the NFL Draft! Went in '06, '07, '08 - good times!

Tony Romo, our QB, that I've talked about all season long! He has had two back surgeries in the past two years. Our team keeps them "hush, hush" and maybe they aren't a big deal, but... how fun would it be to have these three guys as the QB's for the Dallas Cowboys!?!?

Romo needs the passion that Tebow has for the game and life! It could rejuvenate him, and I'd love to have a young guy like Tebow as our back-up! Manziel definitely needs to be humbled a bit and learn from a veteran like Romo. (I've mentioned this before but Aaron Rodgers (QB for Green Bay) sat behind Brett Favre for 3 years, probably the best thing that happened to him!) Just sayin'! 

Bad news... If Jerry would have let the Cowboys lose out (as we did anyway) and get a higher draft pick, we would actually have a chance at getting Manziel in the draft. He is predicted to go in the Top 10, and the Cowboys currently have the 16th pick in the 1st round. Jerry will have to work magic to get high enough to get him!

I also plan on proposing to Roger Goodell, the Commissioner of the NFL, that he should make a rule that prohibits Football Team Owners from simultaneously being the General Manager. That would force Jerry to give up his title as GM, and... probably give it to his son. (Every time I try to re-work that scenario, it ends the same)

NFL Playoffs are still going on... view schedule... the good thing is games are on Saturday and Sunday! :) The bad thing for some of you is, games are on Saturday and Sunday! Soak it up!!! We only have three weekends left of football!!! (tears)

I'm cheering for Brees and the Saints, Brady and New England, Carolina and their crazy Rookie Defense, and of course, Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos! 

As for the Cowboys... the Draft countdown begins!  

GO MAVS!!!

Mavs record is... 20-16, ranked 3rd in the Southwest! 

~ Dang... did you see the Mavs beat the Lakers??? Oh wait... did you see them lose to the Spurs tonight?? Okay, so that was a wash! Sad thing is - we really needed a win over the San Antonio Spurs! They are leading our division with a 28-8 record. The funny thing is - they never really talk about the Spurs on Sports Center (one of the greatest shows on TV), but they are always good... hats off to Popavich! (their head coach) 

~ Dirk... dude is lights out! Still averaging 21.1 points per game and lead the Mavs to victory, single-handedly over the Lakers! His supporting cast is helpful with shooting, but not at all in defending! Marion is out with an injury, so we're relying on DeJauan Blair to post up and help us in the paint! (Do I have to explain that now? Not even sure it's a real saying, just throwing down some BBall terms... "post up" where the guy stands in front of the dude dribbling the ball, driving towards the basket and tries to get in his way without fowling him... ultimate goal... don't let him score!

Random Mavs Video... I saw this on Sports Center this morning... so dumb, but I'm sure the guys had fun making it! (Why do they call themselves the starting 5 and there are 6 guys in the video?!?! I'm confused...)

GO RANGERS!!!

~ The 2014 Hall of Fame class was chosen today! watch picks... Cooperstown is on my list of places to see before I die! Or maybe it was on my 2013 Calendar I had last year called... 1,000 places to see before I die... either way - I'd totally go!

~ What's so special about this year's Hall of Fame inductees? Greg Maddux, one if the recipients, is the Texas Rangers assistant to the General Manager. 

Here are a few articles about his career... 

Congrats from his brother and the Rangers GM

How Maddux impacted the Texas Rangers pitchers

Random Info:
~ Guess what is coming up??? The Lone Survivor movie I've harassed you about, why yes! But, also the Winter Olympics!!! We all get sucked into watching random events we would never watch daily on Fuel TV, and we love it!! 

~ I'm pretty sure I'll be DVRing the Luging events, but I'll try to catch some of the snowboarding and skiing too! Man, makes me want to go skiing now... maybe next year!

And remember to bundle up... it's been freezing across the country! And pray for the homeless people! Or take them some sweatpants and a coat you don't need anymore! I am sure they would appreciate it!! :)

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 ...
