Week 7: Cowboys vs. New York Giants ~ Dierks Bentley Riser

GO COWBOYS!!! 2-3 (wins - losses)

Sunday, October 25th
Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants (home team is second)
3:25 PM CST on FOX

On the road again... 
I just can't wait to get on the road again... 

 Why have I started the past few Cowboys posts with old Western songs... Maybe my Grandpa's influence or my Dad's... gotta love them! 

 I mentioned last week, during our BYE week (aka, mini vacation from playing), that we were making some changes on Offense... and Defense, but mainly Offense. 

 We will stroll into the Meadowlands, in NYC, actually New Jersey, where the New York Giants (and New York Jets) play. 

 Their home turf is past the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of twirly, swirly gumdrops, and then you go through the Lincoln Tunnel (literally). ~ Elf (please tell me you've watched this once already this Fall)

 The Giants are fairly healthy, with Eli Manning at QB and Rashad Jennings at RB and Odell Beckham, Jr. at WR. He's not 100% and the Eagles shut him down with the double-team in the second half of the game Monday night, but he's still OBJ! 

 Now, the Giants are coming off of a short week. They played the Philadelphia Eagles Monday night, then turn around and play Sunday. We play them twice a year, so it's not that hard for them to figure us out. 

 The Cowboys played them in Week 1 and won 27-26. That was WITH Tony Romo, Dez Bryant and a healthy Jason Witten, in Dallas!

 This week.. we're playing them WITH Matt Castle at QB, Terrance Williams and Cole Beasley at WR, Jason Witten and his grit at TE, and Joseph Randle and Christine Michael at RB. Quite a different bunch, BUT, it's the Cowboys vs. Giants! You never know! 

 Bottom Line... With how the Philadelphia Eagles tore apart the Giants on Monday night, I figure we can throw in some plays that they haven't seen before with our new Offensive Regime and beat them! They're not used to Castle at QB, or our new RB we acquired from the Seattle Seahawks. 

Injuries... Romo. Dez. Lance Dunbar. Brice Butler. Randy Gregory.

 Nike made special shoes for Dez and he's been practicing... but I hope he holds out one more week!! Just my thoughts! He did buy a monkey as a pet. ha! 

Fantasy Football... If Christine Michael, James Stark or Stefon Diggs are available in your leagues... pick them up! Game on!!

If you've missed the Deep Blue Documentaries on The Dallas Cowboys... you should watch them... here.

They are all really good! Especially the one on Jason Witten and Jim Garrett. 

Enjoy!

Random Info:
Nothing crazy this week. 

 Just that I like Dierks Bentley's new song Riser. 

 A lot. 

But, I like Country music. 

 Sometimes, it's super cheesy. 

 And sometimes, it's goes right to the soul.

 This song has good words.

 And a great story.   

 Hug someone!

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...
