Dallas Cowboys in London ~ Mavs ~ Friends

GO COWBOYS!!! 6-3

WEEK 10 - Dallas Cowboys vs Jacksonville Jaguars
(remember, the second team is at HOME)
Game Time: Sunday, November 9 12:00 PM (CST)  

London... England... yup, we're there.

The NFL has been trying to get more publicity in England since 2007. There are four regular season NFL games this year in London's Wembley Stadium, which is the largest in the UK. This stadium was designed for football, or shall I say, fútbol. We all know soccer is "football" in an International context... it's only us Americans who are obsessed with pigskin. 

Do you know what pork rinds are? I learned what they are on a recent girls trip to South Carolina... interesting.

So, the game, eh? (kidding that's Canadian

Tony to the Romo... well, this dude. He made the trip to London. Good times. I hope he flew first class where you get to lay down and sleep. I've never done that, but I've seen it in movies. I saw a live interview with him this morning from London, and he looked a little rusty. Like the Tin Man, in Wizard of Oz, before they find the oil can. Okay, he didn't look that bad, but I secretly hope he doesn't play. 

You see, the Cowboys have a BYE week next week. Which means, they get a week off! Their next game after this London exhibition will be on Sunday, Nov 23 vs the New York Giants. So, Romo could have this week, and the next two weeks to heal up and get back for the 23rd game, the Playoffs and the Super Bowl victory in Arizona. 

***Herm Edwards said on SC today that the Dallas Cowboys are 17-1 when DeMarco Murray runs 20 or more times in a game. Feed the Horse!*** 

Jacksonville has a 1-8 record in the AFC. (We're in the NFC - National League - the AFC is the American League) However, they are tied for 3rd in the NFL for sacks on a QB, with 27 sacks. Now, their overall defense isn't so hot. They're ranked like 30 out of 32 teams, which means... RUN THE BALL! Their QB is a rookie, drafted this past year, so they still have a lot of learning to do. Next year kid, next year!

Bottom Line: If the O-Line can protect the run game, with Weeden or Romo, we should and will dominate this game. DeMarco Murray and the O-Line can save the day! Jacksonville played in London last year, but that is the only advantage they have over us. As for our Defense, just keep your head in the game. No stupid penalties, and protect Dan Bailey on Special Teams. Veterans... Jason Witten... dude will still be the go to if Weeden is in. Dez Bryant needs a catch in the first quarter... simply so we don't have to hear them talk about how he hasn't had a catch in the first quarter, or the second, or the third. 

We believe that we will win! :)

GO MAVS!!! 3-1 

Yea, we beat the Boston Boys!!! Celtics went down... :) 

The game wasn't so pretty... Rondo was Rondo, but our guys need to mesh a little more. The 4th quarter was a little rocky, but they will figure it out. Give them another month and they'll be doing no look passes, one handed half court shots and a little "Dude Perfect" stuff. 

I must say, it is nice to have Tyson Chandler back. And Dirk is doing his thing, averaging 20.8 points per game (PPG).

(and now you're singing the Friends theme song...)

When I think of London, I think of many things... and one of those things is the TV show Friends. 

I never knew this about why Ross says Rachel's name at his wedding to Emily... watch

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...

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 ...

Over-reaction Monday Week 9 ~ MAVS

GO COWBOYS!!! Dallas beat the Minnesota Vikings 23-27! Yaya! We are now 5-4 (Wins -Losses) ! Whew. If you've watched most of the games this season, or any season - you'll know that almost all of them come down to the last few minutes of the 4th quarter. That's just part of sports.  Here are the few "over-reaction" stats you'll need for tomorrow...  ~ Adrian Peterson ( Vikings RB ) - He did what he always does. Run over the defense. He is from TX and had over 80+ fans at the game cheering for him. He also lost his son a few weeks ago to a tragic accident. He looked like he was playing with more heart today than in the past few weeks, but our D held them overall. He did have a spectacular TD run... he is an amazing athlete!  ~ Tony Romo (our QB) - threw the ball 51 times. That is a lot! He only completed 34 of those passes. What does that mean? Well, it means he did well with what he has. He spread the ball between all WR ( Wide Receiver ) options, had ...
