Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day ~ Mavs ~ College Football

GO COWBOYS!!! 8-3

WEEK 13 - Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys
(remember, the second team is at HOME)
Game Time: Turkey Day, November 27 3:30 PM (CST) 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

This is the week where we give thanks for many things... and it's the first time, in my adult life, that I can give thanks for the Dallas Cowboys being 8-3!!! 

 The game last week, against the New York Giants, was amazing!! Had a stellar performance from our Offensive Line! Tony Romo played great and looked healthier since the hit he took 4 weeks ago. Murray got the job done on the ground, with a little help from Dunbar, and Cole Beasley scored a TD. Dez was Dez, the Jay Z stuff is weird, but whatever, he's a beast on the field. 

 And please tell me you all saw the most athletic catch you'll ever see in your life?!?! Odell Beckham Jr. made the most insane catch! Watch. I applauded him at my TV. 

This weeks game... 

 We play the Eagles. Nothing to be happy about, especially since they're also in the NFC East Division (as are the Giants, we just beat, and the Redskins, that beat us), and have a 8-3 record. Why are we tied with them? Because we haven't played them yet to beat them. That will happen Thursday. 

 This is my least favorite team in sports. Yes, I have friends who are Philly fans, but we talked about everything except the Eagles. They don't like us either, which makes no sense. We're nice.  

 Mark Sanchez is their QB now, pretty boy. He used to play for the New York Jets, and played college ball at USC. They have LeSean McCoy, their Running Back, who has over 800 yards this season and 3 TD's. And, they have Jeremy Maclin (WR), who has 980 yards and 9 TD's. 

 **I promised myself my first year playing Fantasy Football that I would never draft a player from the Eagles, and never have. But, it's tempting with this kid and when they had DeSean Jackson** #stillnotworthit

 Their D is pretty good against the run game, so you'll see Murray have a little trouble with coverage. However, the way our O-Line played last week... move... get out the way!! All day baby, all day! 

 Romo can run rule these kids in the passing game. They rank 30th in the NFL (32 teams) against the passing game! Yea. I think Terrance Williams gets a piece of the TD pie this week (if his finger is healed).

Bottom Line: This game is at home, on Thanksgiving Day... which in the history of Turkey games played in Dallas (since 1966), they're 29-16, with one tie. The odds are in our favor!! The stadium will be packed, and even with the short week; I believe our team will be ready! 
Cowboys beat Philly, 34-28.

GO MAVS!!! 10-5 

So, after our victory over the Lakers, we've suffered two straight losses to the Houston Rockets and the Indiana Pacers. For real. Dirk can't do it all, so hopefully the rest of the team picks it back up!

 Keep in mind, the NBA gets really good after the Super Bowl (mid-February)!
Check out the full season schedule.

Random Info:
College Football is nearing it's end, only 3 weeks left... and this is the first year for the College Football Playoffs!!! Woohooo! They're in Dallas, at Jerry World, of course. 

 This weekend is huge for NFL rivalries and NCAA football rivalries! Check out the schedule here. I don't even want to think about football ending.

 Alabama is currently ranked #1. This can't happen again. Getting so old. We need Auburn to defeat them!! They couldn't win in the Championship game last year against Florida State, so maybe they'll come with a vengeance against their rival!! Go Tigers! 
***************

 Have a splendid week with your families. I hope you do a lot of laughing, game playing, eating and sports watching/playing! A well rounded Thanksgiving!! And remember to be more thankful every day! We waste so much time worrying and complaining, when none of that adds an hour to our lives! But, thankfulness, breathes life and more joy into everything we do!! :) 

 Don't worry, Be happy!!

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...

Week 13: Dallas Cowboys vs. Minnesota Vikings ~ NFC East ~ NFL logo quiz

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...
