Week 13: Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins ~ Dallas Mavericks ~ Hutchins BBQ

GO COWBOYS!!! 3-8 (wins - losses)

Monday Night Football, December 7th
Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins (home team is second)
7:30 PM CST on ESPN

Monday Night Football... The Dallas Cowboys vs. The Washington Redskins... Not the powerhouse game the NFL was expecting when they made the schedule for 2015! 

 So, my Uncle and cousin are BIG Redskins fans!!! Like, they have Hog outfits and RGIII Jersey's... that they tried to give me at Thanksgiving, because they think Jerry will pick him up with Romo out. They replaced that jersey with a Kirk Cousins one. I told them I'd use it for kindling in my fireplace... (no opponent gear allowed in my house). 

 The NFC East... what went wrong??

 The Eagles beat the Patriots today... which means, if the Cowboys beat the Redskins tomorrow night, we would be one game out of First Place in our Division. hahaha... 

 I am still holding out for Draft Picks... which means we have to lose to get a closer to the front of the line in draft order... (the good players usually go in the 1st or 5th round).

 REDSKINS... 

 Kirk Cousins is their QB vs. Matt Cassel, our back-up QB. Since Romo fractured his collarbone again, we are back to second string!

 The Dallas D will be facing Cousins, who has thrown for over 2700 yards and 16 TD this season. However, a Cowboys fan favorite stat is the 10 interceptions he's thrown. Most were at the beginning of the season; however, I believe our secondary can pressure their passing game and we'll see at least one pick 6 from McClain, Jones or Wilcox! 

 One snafu in the Cowboys plan this week may be Dashon Goldson... 

 A leader, and a Safety, called a players only meeting last week before their win against the Giants. The Redskins have something to play for... they can easily stay in 1st place in our Division if the defeat our team. And with Cousins playing the way he is and Jordan Reed trying to be Tight End of the year... they are trying to make their way into the playoffs! 

Bottom Line... With Romo hurt, again... I feel like all hope is lost. Not forever, but for this season... yeah. We do; however, have a resurged running back in Darren McFadden! Dude has stepped it up the past 3 weeks! And I hope Cassel can connect with Terrance Williams when Dez is being double-teamed! (I feel like Williams is to Dez like Alvin Harper was to Michael Irvin)! Monday night will be interesting. Rival game... big stage... let's hope that the Cowboys can pull off a W! :) 

Injuries... Romo, Claiborne, Heath???, Dez didn't practice, but he's playing!  

Fantasy Football... I quit. Unless you were brilliant and picked up Brock Osweiler... you're probably not winning your league. (p.s. love the dude's name) Especially with Brady losing two weeks in a row... tears for my work league.

GO MAVS!!! 12-9

The Mavs have a one game win streak going!!! Woohoo!! It was a big win over the Washington Wizards... 116-104. John Wall was injured at the end of the game... but it was Wesley Matthews getting his name in the papers with 36 points! 

 It's nice to see new guys making a name for themselves! Especially with Chandler Parsons still as a slot-in 6th man.

 Christmas time is the perfect time to take the family to a Mavs Game!!! Here are the next few games... if I could recommend one... it would be December 30th vs. Golden State! You'd get to see Stephen Curry!!! They are still undefeated at 22-0... maybe the Mavs will be the ones to take them down?? 

Check out the full schedule.

Random Info:
So, a friend told me about this BBQ place in the Dallas Area... pretty sure it's life changing. I'm not kidding.

 Hutchins BBQ in McKinney or Frisco is worth every penny you will spend there!

 I recommend the lean brisket, fried okra, mac n' cheese, and sweet tea. The cobbler and banana pudding is complimentary, oh and there's ice cream too!

 At the Frisco location, they also had a brisket stuffed jalapeno. What??? Dude, it was good!!  

 Happy eating!

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...
