Cowboys Bye Week ~ Mavs ~ Rangers ~ Dude Perfect

GO COWBOYS!!! 7-3

WEEK 11 - BYE WEEK - NO FOOTBALL THIS SUNDAY FOR THE DALLAS COWBOYS

 (this means you don't have to rush home on Sunday - you can go shopping - clean the house - start decorating for Christmas... yes, I said it, on November 13th) 

Every team in the NFL gets one week off. So, the season is actually 17 weeks long, but each team only plays 16 games. This gives teams time to heal, regroup and game plan. Luck for us, our BYE week came when our QB has two fractures in his back and could use a little R&R! 

 Can we just take a moment and celebrate?? 

 The Dallas Cowboys haven't been 7-3 (a winning record) since 2011. That may not seem too long ago, but we didn't make the playoffs that year and had a dismal back-half of a season. 

 Will that happen this year? No. Remember, I'm saving up for my Super Bowl ticket.

 3 Reasons Why We Will Keep Winning: 

 1) We have Zack Martin, and an Offensive Line to protect Tony Romo, who has a solid receiving corps that can make big plays. Dez Bryant. Terrance Williams. Jason Witten. Gavin Escobar. And yes, Tony Romo, is tough as nails. I am seriously praying he gets healthy, as much as possible, in the next few days!

 2) We have a run game in DeMarco Murray. In order for Murray to stay healthy, you may see more of these back-up running backs... Lance Dunbar (Mean Green, Caw, Caw) and Joseph Randle. Murray will still be our main go to and the guy who will help Romo stay balanced! 

 3) We finally have a Coaching Staff who is making the right calls, and have coached the team well enough to execute those calls. Rod Marinelli gets mad props for making our nothing of a Defense into something! I hope to see even more speed and aggressiveness from the D when we get into the last 6 games of the season. 

 Can you believe it? Only 6 games left. So sad. I wish Football Season was all year long. But then I wouldn't have a social life or enjoy Fall so much. So, we'll leave it as it is.

GO MAVS!!! 6-3 

The Mavs are beating the Philadelphia 76ers in an embarrassing fashion. I actually can't watch anymore. I feel badly for the 76ers! However, they are a Philly team, so I shouldn't feel too bad. 

 Did y'all see that Dirk Nowitzki became the highest leading scorer in the NBA that isn't from the United States? He surpassed Hakeem Olajuwon and talked about him in this article. He said he tried to replicate Olajuwon's dream shot! Kind of crazy to think that Dirk would replicate anyone. He seems so original and is original, as far as I'm concerned. He is now the 9th leading scorer in the NBA.  

Check out the full season schedule.

GO RANGERS!!!

Don't worry... baseball isn't starting just yet, but there are a lot of trade rumors and some contracts to be signed.

 Should we trade Elvis Andrus? He didn't have a great batting average last year, but he's still an important part of our team. Here's a good article if you want to read more. 

 Also, Jon Daniels just signed a new contract. So, if you thought he was ever going away, he's not. 

Random Info:
I really enjoy using the word Dude. I know it's not super professional or anything, but it's just chill and fun to say! 

 Which totally makes watching the guys who call themselves "Dude Perfect" way more fun!! 

 They do all of these trick shots and fun stuff with basketballs, footballs and now with a bow and arrow! 

Watch this short video! It's awesome!!

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...

The Masters, in all its beauty ~ Texas Rangers ~ Dallas Mavs ~ Get Outside

The Masters The ultimate Bucket List item and one of the ones that exceeded my expectations. If you play golf, have a family member who makes you watch golf or take naps to golf, you understand that The Masters is the holy grail of golf tournaments. It is the only PGA tournament that is played in the same location every year, Augusta, Georgia.  Thanks to very dear friends of mine, I had the chance to walk through the azaleas, experience the serenity of Amen Corner and watch the players skip golf balls across the water at Hole 16. If they allowed people to sleep on the grass, I would have stayed forever.  We were there for two days of practice rounds, which is fun because the players are relaxed and cut up with one another. They cancelled the Par 3 Contest, which was sad, but just being there was the most wonderful feeling ever. You can't take phones in, so I even called my parents from the phones at Augusta, just to do so. We also didn't realize you could bring in a real camer...

GO COWBOYS!!! 10-1 1st in the NFL 1st in the NFC EAST Thursday, December 1st 7:25 PM CST on NBC We've NEVER won 10 consecutive games. Ever.  We lost our first game of the season to the New York Giants, by one point. And oddly enough, they are still the ghost we're trying to run away from and secure our playoff spot with only 5 Regular Season games left.  Here is what the NFC East looks like going into Week 13...  The Minnesota Vikings... what should we fear?  The Vikings are in the NFC North Division. They currently trail the Detroit Lions for a spot in the playoffs. They have only won 1 of their last 5 games, which makes this Thursday night, showtime game, a must win for the Vikings!  4-1 at home, The Vikings meet the Cowboys who are 5-0 on the road. Oh how I love those odds! Forever in our favor this season.  Quarterback situation. Sam Bradford is the starting QB for the Vikings. A guy they got in the o...
