Over-reaction Monday Week 1 ~ Astros vs Rangers ~ MNF

GO COWBOYS!!! 1-0 (wins - losses)

New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys - We won!!!

Y'all. That game wore me out. I'm a female. I'm already emotional. I can't handle too many games like that. Sheesh! 

 So, if you missed the game... the Cowboys played poorly. We dominated, time-wise in the first quarter, but only came up with 3-points (from a Field Goal, you get 3 points if you make a Field Goal). 

 Then we had a few turnovers (where we graciously give the ball to the other team, unwillingly), 4 to be exact. One of those turned into a TD for the Giants when Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie scored on Cole Beasley's fumble in the 2nd Qtr. Painful. But, we don't give up! 

 The 3rd Qtr was messy and let's be honest... the whole game was messy... But... WE WON! All of the players said that Romo was on the sideline, watching Eli lead his team down the field (with the clock mess-up, running and not scoring, throwing away an incomplete pass to stop the clock), and told them they were going to go out there and win! Confidence. I'll take it! I'm glad that Romo is leading these men now and has given them the confidence they need in him to take things in stride and not panic when the snap is bad... he stayed calm, found Witten, and drilled it into his hands for the four-hundreth time! (I called a Witten TD btw)! 

 Injuries... Dez Bryant has a broken bone in his foot and had surgery today. He will be out 4-6 weeks. If we go 6 weeks, the Cowboys have a BYE Week in Week 6, so technically, he's only missing 5 games at the most. Basically, he (and Randy Gregory, who suffered a high ankle sprain) will be back for the second half of the season. I'd like to see them back for the Seattle Game on 11/1; when we will need their energy the most! Rest up and rehab fellas, we'll need you on our race to the Super Bowl!! 

Fantasy Football... I had Dez Bryant in one of my leagues. I have James Jones from Green Bay and Terrance Williams on Waivers... just a suggestion. Also, Marcus Mariota may be available in your league as a back-up QB?!?! Dude went lights out in his NFL debut!

Random Info:
A double-header for MNF is rough. Even on Central Standard Time. 

 I'm glad the Eagles didn't win.

 That is all.

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...

Dallas Mavs ~ Texas Rangers ~ Thoughts on the Super Bowl ~ Dallas is Freezing

Dallas  Mavericks 13-14 (wins-losses) I feel like we've been on a rollercoaster with the Mavs, but I like the direction we're going now. As for how NBA and NFL players feel about our cold weather... that's a funnier story. The Mavs longest stretch of losses was six games in mid-January. It was not fun and the team looked confused as to why they couldn't pull out a win.  A few guys have been out, off and on, due to illness or injury, but now they're all back and are rolling. Especially Kristaps Porzingis .  They keep joking that he's playing how he did back in September 2020 when they were in the NBA bubble, before his knee injury. Now that he has healed and is playing more minutes per game, he has been on fire! To see a 7'3" guy drain 3 pointers like he does is amazing. I mean, if he raises his arms, they're already above the rim, so he just has to put the right arc on it and swish. So cool!  His stats vs. the Pelicans in Friday night's victory:...

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...
