Dallas Cowboys go 0-3 ~ Riding Boots for Fall

GO COWBOYS!!!

Well... we're 0-3 in the Pre-Season... 

 We have one last game before the regular season... 
Thursday, Aug 28 - 7 PM vs the Denver Broncos (aka - Peyton Manning)

There are a few take aways from our pre-season loss to the Miami Dolphins last night. 

 #1 - Tony Romo (our QB - quarterback) can be hit. He had his second back surgery this past Summer and it's nice to know he's going to sacrifice his body for the team! Let's just hope we miraculously pull out a record better than 8-8 to make it worth it for ole Romo! (Side Note, Weeden didn't look too bad as our back-up QB.) 

 #2 - We have a great punt returner in Dwayne Harris. Dude is entertaining, fast and drives the ball forward! Maybe we need him as a RB? Ha - just kidding! He is a WR for us as well... so the tricky part for most Coaching staffs is... use this guy as your punt returner for the potential of a "big play" - and hope he doesn't get hurt because we need him as a WR too! We need Harris to stay healthy all season!! 

 ***FANTASY FOOTBALL ALERT***If your league gives points for special teams - you may want to select the Cowboys!***Also, here is a list of things you should know before you draft your team!

 #3 - Bruce Carter... this dude struggled in our Defensive scheme last year... but, last night - we saw him block a punt against Miami! The punt didn't count, but that wasn't Carter's fault. Our new Defensive Coordinator, Rob Marinelli, plans to switch up how he uses Carter, so maybe we can get back to our expectations of this Tar Heel alumni. 

 #4 - Dan Bailey is still Dan Bailey. Our kicker that is 90% accurate in his career! #legit

GO RANGERS!!!

Record... 50-79 (W-L)

 Well, the Rangers are already planning their Winter vacations. We are 26.5 games behind the Oakland A's, who are in first place. So, the plan is... get through the next month of games. Take the family to a game (tickets are cheap), support the Rangers, and gear up for next year. 

 The team needs to focus on getting healthy and having some bonding time! The chemistry seems so off this year. I think it's because JD bought Prince Fielder and it's like the Bambino curse. But that's just me. I don't really believe in curses, but I don't believe in buying big name first baseman's either! :)

 Random Info/Fashion Tips:
Ladies... Boot season is about to be upon us! 

 What? It's still 100 degrees outside! I know... I know... but if you start prepping your Fall wardrobe now... you won't be stressed going into the BEST season of the year!!

Most retailers will have their Fall assortments out this week. By the end of September, their full assortment will be available and they should still have most sizes!! :) 

 ***LEATHER RIDING BOOT TIP*** I have a somewhat athletic build, which does not make it easy to fit into "knee high riding boots" - without cutting off the circulation in my legs! So... I decided years ago, to invest in real leather riding boots, the kind you slip on, no zipper. If you get these types of boots - you can take them to a cobbler or leather guy (if you live in the country - these guys still exist) - they have a "boot stretcher" that will work wonders on your boots! I left mine at a cobbler for two weeks and my boots slid on over jeans all Fall/Winter! So, if you have boots like this (remember, it only works on real leather and non-zipper boots) - you should take them to a cobbler now and you'll get them back by the time the temperature starts to drop!! :) 

I know real leather is more expensive... but it's worth it! You can condition them with saddle soap and get the bottoms re-soled. So, they have the potential to last a good 5-7 years or longer if you take care of them!! Definitely worth the investment! :) 

 ***Tip to fit jeans in boots***Once your jeans are on... put socks on that you can pull up over your jeans (or these knee highs that I love)... pinch the bottom of your skinny jeans - fold over flat against your ankle - take the sock/hose and pull it up over your jeans... then slide your boot on without worrying about tucking your jeans into the boot itself!*** 

 Hug someone :)

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 ...
