GO COWBOYS!!!
WEEK 1 - Dallas lost to San Fransisco 28-17
Record 0-1 (wins are the first number, losses are clearly the second)
That score may not look as bad as it felt. If you watched the game, you saw this, but here are a few stats...
~ Tony Romo (QB - quarterback), threw 281 yards, but had 3 interceptions and only 1 touchdown. He didn't seem to be in pain (his bad back), so he either had a hard time playing his first full game since surgery, or his WR's just can't get on the same page. Either way, they need to figure it out!
~ Dez Bryant (WR - Wide Receiver), left the game due to dehydration. Who are you, LeBron James? Is this the NBA Finals? Dude, drink pedialyte and get in the game. Devin Street did a good job filling in while Dez was on a break. Terrance Williams scored our only passing TD (touchdown). Devin Harris had a decent punt return, but dropped a few passes from Romo. Not their day.
~ DeMarco Murray (RB - Running Back), game on! Dude did have one fumble (where the player loses the ball while carrying it and the other team gets it), but he also rushed for 118 yards and had 1 TD. If we can figure out our passing offense - we'll be in better shape!
~ Dallas Defense - tears. When they're on the field, it's like I go to a dark place trying to figure out... why? Why did we not keep DeMarcus Ware (we traded him to Denver)? Why didn't Jerry get more/better Defensive players? Why did Sean Lee have to get hurt?
Actually, asking "why" is a slippery slope. So, to prevent myself from overreacting, even though this is Overreaction Monday, let's just say, I hope we figure it out in time to meet the Tennessee Titans next week!
Bottom Line: It's actually sad because Romo, Witten, Dez and many other guys on our team are talented. But they never seem to pull it off or make it look like it's working. Disappointing. For us, as fans, and for them.

GO RANGERS!!!
Ron Washington...
I do not know what happened to Ron or why he left the Rangers. I do find it odd that he left before the season was over and in the middle of a series against the Seattle Mariners. I was at the game Friday night and it was weird not seeing Wash in his seat for the first time in 8 years. Here are the three things I think it could be...
1) He didn't like the name change to Globe Life Park? For 7 years, of Wash's 8 year career, it was named The Ballpark in Arlington, as it should be.
2) He didn't agree with Jon Daniels getting rid of Nolan Ryan, Jackie Moore, and a slew of players... Ian Kinsler, Nelson Cruz, David Murphy, Craig Gentry, just to name a few. So, Ron just got fed up and left? Doesn't sound like him. He doesn't seem like the type of man to duck out early, but you never know?
3) I hope it's not health. But many people choose to deal with health issues in private. Nothing wrong with that at all. But I really hope this isn't the case!
Either way. He did a great job with our players! They interviewed a few of them and it was really sad to hear how much they're going to miss him! Elvis Andrus went 0-4 Friday night... he looks like it was affecting him, but maybe it was just a bad night.
You will be missed Ron Washington. I pray everything is okay.
(Here's a pic of Wash's spot... and fireworks from Friday night's game. Best Fireworks ever!!)

Today was Derek Jeter day at Yankee Stadium! This dude is a class act. He has set a standard on what a gentleman acts like on the field, and though I don't know him personally, I hear he's the same off the field.
Here's a great video clip and article on his special day today... watch. I so wish I could have been there, but I get to see Jeter play in NYC in a week! So excited!!

Hug someone :)
