Week 8: Seattle Seahawks vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ Dallas Mavericks ~ Fixer Upper

GO COWBOYS!!! 2-4 (wins - losses)

Sunday, November 1st
Seattle Seahawks vs. Dallas Cowboys (home team is second)
3:25 PM CST on FOX

The Seattle Seahawks are coming to Dallas. 

 Pete Carroll (Head Coach, formerly at USC) 
Russell Wilson (QB)
Marshawn Lynch (RB)
Tyler Lockett  (WR)
Richard Sherman (entire Defense)

This may be a big deal... since they won the Super Bowl in 2013 and their Conference last year. Now they have Jimmy Graham, TE from New Orleans, whom Russell Wilson seems to like! 31 receptions for 375 yards and two receiving touchdowns. 

I'd like to say Graham will be Dallas' biggest challenge or Wilson or Lynch or Sherman, but Dallas' biggest challenge is Dallas! 

If you remember, Dallas went to Seattle last year and defeated the Seahawks 30-23. Yes, this was with Dez, Romo, and DeMarco Murray, but it is possible we could do it again IN Dallas!! Right?? 

Dez Bryant is planning to be back for this game. You know he wants to take on Richard Sherman. I'm still not sure about this from a health perspective! But, we need him! Or someone explosive on the field! 

Terrance Williams has done a fine job with the deep ball, but there were a few dropped passes and 3 interceptions in Sundays game that shows a lack of communication between the QB and WR's. 

Matt Cassel started his first game for the Cowboys last week vs. The New York Giants. He threw for 227 yards with a completion rating of 63%. He did throw 3 interceptions (which will kill you in fantasy points, in this case, real life), and was forced to use McFadden when Randle went out injured. 

 (WR) Brice Butler and Cassel go way back... so I expect to see Butler in the game plan this week and hopefully we can minimize the number of interceptions to... zero. 

Bottom Line... We continue to face more and more challenges as a team. But, we will either overcome and rise to the occasion or we will flat line and hope a 2-7 record helps is limp into the playoffs after Romo comes back in Week 11. Then, we win out? Stay optimistic!! 

Injuries... Tony Romo. Lance Dunbar. Randy Gregory.

Dez Bryant is practicing this week. I say, 80% chance he plays. 

Fantasy Football... Bye weeks are killin' me! ha! I needed Green Bay's D last week to pull out the W! Oh well. Injuries have already over-taken me! A lot of people picked up the NYG Running Back... Orleans Darkwa. Dude went crazy vs. Dallas last week!

GO MAVS!!! 

The Regular Season started Tuesday night!! For the Mavs, it starts Wednesday night vs. the Phoenix Suns... Crazy, right? (Tyson Chandler is with the Suns now - tears... love that kid - didn't we lose Steve Nash to the Suns too??) 

 The World Series is going on between the New York Mets and Kansas City Royals. The Texas Rangers are on vacation. The Cowboys are halfway through their season. And the Mavs have just begun their 82 game season. 

 After 18 years with the Dallas Mavericks... Dirk Nowitzki will start one more time! I'm not saying he's retiring after this season... but when Green Bay had Rodgers on the bench and Favre still under center... it was only a mater of time. 

 Not that we have anyone like Aaron Rodgers on our bench... sorry still in football mode... not like we have a Stephan Curry on our bench to be the life of our team... so, maybe that is the goal for this season? Figure out who the next kid is that will dedicate himself to this organization and this team? 

 Not many players are built like Dirk, Peyton Manning, Michael Jordan, Steve Young, Troy Aikman... those guys were fairly loyal, as long as the team was loyal to them. 

 Mark Cuban and Dirk have a great relationship, and I am confident they will do what is best for the teams future! 

 More to come... #Tipoff

Random Info:
If you're in Texas... this will mean something? Maybe? 

 The HGTV show, Fixer Upper, is having their Grand Opening this weekend in Waco, TX. Magnolia Homes. 

 It is Friday and Saturday night! Rain is in the forecast, but the shopping will be inside the silos... so that won't stop anyone from buying a farmhouse accessory or two! 

 If you're headed down there... get there early and get a Dr Pepper at the Dr Pepper Museum! It is mixed at the soda foundation with real syrup and carbonation! Never tasted better! They close at 4:15 pm Friday, so get there early! 

 "If I'm a Pepper, you're a Pepper, wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?"

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...
