Week 14: Dallas Cowboys vs. Green Bay Packers ~ Dallas Mavericks ~ White Christmas

GO COWBOYS!!! 4-8 (wins - losses)

Sunday, December 13th
Dallas Cowboys vs. Green Bay Packers (home team is second)
3:25 PM CST on FOX

The Cowboys are playing a Green Bay Packer team that is 8-4. 

 The last time we faced the Packers, was last year in the second round of the Playoffs. Remember... the Dez "catch." Yeah. We remember. Dan Blandino, on Ben and Skin. 

 Packers... 

 They have Aaron Rodgers as their QB. Who I am a fan of. But, not Sunday!

 The Green Bay Packers have not played their best football lately. They started the season 6-0, then lost 3 in a row and haven't gotten back on track since. 

 They have not been able to convert on 3rd down. Too many of their WR's are injured, so they aren't throwing on short yard plays. Their two main Running Backs, Lacy and Starks can't seem to get the job done either. So, advantage Cowboys Defense!!! Shut down their run game and re-gain possession for our offense! 

 Cowboys... 

 Romo is still injured. He didn't have to have surgery again on his collarbone, but he will be out for a while. 

 Matt Cassel will start as our QB, and will hopefully connect more with Dez. He hasn't been targeted much in the past few games with Cassel. I know he's constantly double-teammed, but we need him to be aggressive vs. the Green Bay Defense. They have allowed over 245 average yards passing by their opponents this season.

Bottom Line... We will continue to see Cassel connect with Witten, Beasley, and Williams... but if we can't get Dez in the mix for the big touchdowns... we may not win against a struggling/hopeful Green Bay team. And, if we don't win out, our hopes for the playoffs are seriously over, and our draft pick hopes are back up. #catch22

Injuries... Romo, and I'm sure others that all say probably right now, but will be announced before the game. 

Fantasy Football... If you didn't make the playoffs, you've probably given up on your team. It's okay... there's always next year. And if you're in a keeper league, be thinking of what non-injured player you want for next year. (If there even is one)?

GO MAVS!!! 13-10

The Mavs play the Washington Wizards tonight. We should beat them, like the Cowboys beat the Washington Redskins last week! 

 It's Seats for Soldiers night. Pretty awesome thing... they give seats to Wounded Warriors from San Antonio and Ft. Worth. #SeatsForSoldiers #DALvsWAS

 The Wizards are coming into our house with a 2 game losing streak... and look to break that on the road. However, our Mavs have been playing pretty well lately. If we can get Chandler Parsons back to 100%, we will be in great shape after the All-Star break. 

 Deron Williams is out tonight with a stomach bug. This lessens our chance of winning by about 8%. Look for Felton and Harris to carry the team from a PG perspective! 

Check out the full schedule.

Random Info:
Musicals...

 When is the last time you watched a musical? On TV or Live? 

 I suggest watching White Christmas at least once this month!! :) Snow, snow, snow, snow... snow!!!!! Better yet, go visit somewhere with snow this Christmas!

(I grew up in a house where we watched musicals and learned to appreciate them! Which, I still do, even as an adult). 

 I'm sure you can watch Elf once or twice too. But that's not a musical. "I'm in a store, and I'm singing... I'm in a store, and I'm SingIng"

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...
