Over-reaction Monday Week 3 - Jordan Spieth

GO COWBOYS!!! 2-1 (wins - losses)

Atlanta Falcons vs. Dallas Cowboys

We lost. Badly. 

 But, we started off great! 

 1st Half (1st & 2nd Qtr Combined)

 - We scored 28 points. 
- Joseph Randle had 14 carries for 87 yards and 3 Touchdowns.
- Darren McFadden scored one TD. 
- Brandon Weeden was 13/14 for complete passes in the 1st half of the game for 164 passing yards. He only threw 1 interception, which was expected for his first game starting. 
- Our Defense was making plays, Church and Carr were all over Julio Jones (their #1 wide receiver).  Sean Lee had one sack on Matt Ryan and we were able to hold Freeman (their running back) to just 2 TD's in the first half. 

 2nd Half (3rd & 4th Qtr Combined)

- We did NOT score any points. 
- I am pretty sure our Coaching staff decided to treat this like a pre-season game. At least, that is what it felt like.

 Perplexed. Yes. 

 Why didn't Randle stay in the game? Yes, Lance Dunbar came in and had 100 yards. But, why? Randle was working. Was he tired? I get it. I'm not a player; I don't really understand.

 What happened to Witten? He made a few outstanding blocks in the first half and 6 passes for 65 yards. Where did he go in the second half? 

 Why did the game plan change? Our Defense started getting tired, because they were on the field too much with someone playing Madden 15 with Julio Jones! Ridiculous! It would be fun to see Dez go head to head with Julio! #Playoffs

 I hope our coaching staff re-groups and realizes that the second half of a regular season game isn't the time to slot in back-ups and change the entire game plan. You stick with what is working, until it doesn't work anymore, don't change just because it's half-time. 

 Being a Cowboys Fan is tiring. But, it's worth it.   

 GO COWBOYS!!!!

Jordan Spieth. 

 Need I say more. 

 Wow. 

 I wish to play golf as well as his right arm does. 

 (like a tenth of him... get it... it's funny)

 I love how he always hugs his family right after a win and says "we" for his TEAM!! So cool to make golf sound more and more like a team sport! Thank you, Jordan! 

 #underarmour Oh how they lucked out!

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...
