The Masters ~ Rangers ~ Mavs ~ Cowboys

The Masters

Thursday, April 10 - Sunday, April 13

This is one of the greatest events on earth. Well, maybe it's just one of the greenest events on earth. The grass at Augusta is practically fake, looking! Check out the course... Course Map - 18 Holes (wait - have I ever told you there are 18 holes in golf? Well, there are, and it's quite a bit longer than a putt-putt course)  


Have you ever hit a golf ball? Or, if you live in Dallas, have you every played Top Golf? Please tell me you're not one of those girls who plays Top Golf in heels? I'm not gonna lie, I lose a little respect for those ladies. But then again, I'm the nerd who drags my entire set of clubs with me. Ha! Call it even.

So, if you've ever hit a golf ball, you should be able to watch the Final Round on Sunday! You will understand how difficult it is to hit a little white ball into a tiny hole! Once I started playing, I had a new found respect for the Pro Players. Especially the ones who keep their cool and make trick shots. I'm make trick shots, just not on purpose. :) 

Who is the favorite to win? 

Click on these names to read more about these guys... my personal vote is either Phil Mickelson (Lefty) or Bubba Watson, but Rory McIlroy and Jason Day are slotted to win this year. 

Bubba Watson is a phenomenal dude and player... follow him on Twitter @bubbawatson. He won The Masters in 2012 with this trick shot. Adam Scott won last year. He was the first Australian to win and isn't half bad to look at either. 

Tiger Woods... oh, now you know a bit about golf. Everyone knows who Tiger Woods is, but did you know he's not playing in The Masters this year? His back is still injured, and probably his pride. He is one of the greatest players to ever play the game, but I'm okay watching the other guys win!  

Golf is played throughout the year in multiple tournaments. Similar layout as Tennis, NASCAR, and bowling. Kidding, I have no clue how professional bowling works. Either way, this is one of the most important tournaments of the year. The Winner of The Master's gets a Green Jacket, becomes a life-time member of the Champions Club, and gets a lifetime exemption to play in The Masters. Many other perks come with this title, but those are the coolest ones! 

Enjoy this week/end! Hopefully your office doesn't block TV... WATCH THE MASTERS LIVE... oh and yes, this is on my Bucket List! 

GO RANGERS!!!

3-3 (Wins - Losses)

If you made it to opening day, congratulations, except for the fact that is was a horrible loss. Starting the season with Tanner Schepper's wasn't the best idea. Come on JD! (JD is Jon Daniels - the Rangers General Manager. He's the dude calling the shots, especially since Nolan left for the Houston Astros, controversy.

Yu Darvish pitched yesterday. Dude is legit! We knew he was good, but really? He threw his 500th career strike out! Watch! Over 75% of his pitches were strikes. I look at numbers most of the day, and that is an amazing stat! The goal is to build up a healthy supporting cast for Darvish. Many pitchers are injured right now, along with Profar (our prodigy second baseman) and catcher, Geovany Soto. So the guys that are healthy need to give it their all!

Colby Lewis should be back in the Rangers pitching rotation soon. Hoping this is a good thing! 

They are currently playing against Boston tonight, in Fenway Park, my second favorite park. Tune into ESPN to watch! (and flip back and forth between KTVT for the NCAA Championship Game and ABC Family for The Blind Side.)


(It's still weird to see Napoli in a Red Sox uniform and to see Fielder in a Rangers uniform - nature of the game)

GO MAVS!!!

Mavs record is... 47-31... we are two back from a spot in the Playoffs! Every game from here on out is a MUST WIN

They won last night against the Sacramento Kings! 93-91
We had an amazing 4th quarter, well last few minutes of the game. Four straight offensive possessions with back-to-back 3 point shots! Most of our 3's came from our Guards, they were 10 of 13! Calderon, Carter and Ellis! Keep on keeping' on fellas! 

Dirk - what can you say about this guy that hasn't been said? He is climbing the charts as he scores more and more points! Not only was he named the Western Conference Player of the Week last week, he moved up to the 10th spot on the All Time Scoring List! Air high-five Dirk! You're holding Dallas together! 

The Mavs play the Utah Jazz, Tuesday night at 8:00 PM! Cheer loudly so they'll win! (the game is in Utah, so yell through your TV, it works, I promise)

GO COWBOYS!!!

Jerry Jones was on the ACM Awards show last night. He announced that the ACM Awards Show will be at his stadium in 2015


He's the GM (General Manager) of the Dallas Cowboys. Do you know of another GM from any other NFL team that is gallivanting around promoting their stadiums? Me either. Why isn't he focused on Football? (Give us a REAL GM Jerry!!!

Perplexed. Waiting for the Draft. 

NFL DRAFT... Thursday May 8 - Saturday May 11

Championship Game: April 7 (Tonight - like right now)

Well, my bracket is busted. Florida lost. I've got nothing! 


UConn plays Kentucky right now! UConn has the best guard, maybe ever, so I'm picking UConn. #8 seed showing everyone up! Here's an article about Napier and his teammates. 

Random Info:
Have any of you watched the movies I've suggested?? 

If not, you at least have to watch Seven Days in Utopia! It will prep you beautifully for The Masters, and all things in life! Can't go wrong with Robert Duvall! 

It will also be a wonderful weekend for Spring Cleaning!! Open the windows and get at it! 

If you need places to donate your clothing/house goods to, here is a list of just a few places in Dallas... there are much more than this! Do some research and learn about the needs in your community!

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...

Week 11: Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ Mavs ~ Gift Guide for Black Friday

GO COWBOYS!!! 8-1 1st in the NFL (I've died and gone to Heaven) 1st in the NFC EAST Sunday, November 20th Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys  (home team is second) 12:00 PM CST on CBS First things first... the Cowboys are playing amazing football right now! Even sportscasters who don't like the Cowboys can't stop talking about them.  I mentioned last week that we are the most balanced team in the league. When your Offense and Defense share an even amount of time on the field, it is easier to stay fresh and productive. If you leave your D out there too long, they're bound to make mistakes. So even with our Offense being as productive as they are, they are still staying on the field long enough to keep it balanced.  The Cowboys have a total of 219 first downs this season and lead the league at Offensive time of possession, 33:39 minutes ( an NFL football game is made up of 4 quarters, 15 minutes each, a total of 60 minutes ).  ...

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. ...
