Week 17: Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ Dallas Mavericks ~ Dallas Stars ~ Life's Questions

GO COWBOYS!!! 4-11 (wins - losses)

Sunday, January 3rd
Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys (home team is second)
12:00 PM CST on FOX

It's basically the end of the season. 

 The only thing the Cowboys can do on Sunday is discourage the Washington Redskins with a loss... before they head into the Playoffs. 

 Many frustrations came out of this years season... 

Tony Romo and Dez getting injured in Week 2. 

 Distractions from Greg Hardy and his troubled past. 

 DeMarco Murray going to the Eagles and us using 7 different Running Backs to replace him. 

 Injuries to our secondary and Defensive Lineman. 

 6 straight losses at HOME!

 Offensive play calling... 

 The list goes on. 

 At the end of the day. I'm still a Cowboys fan. Not because of Jerry Jones. Not because of Jason Garrett or Tony Romo. But because they're my team.

So, enjoy the off-season fellas... heal up, rest up, and gear up for 2016!! 

Bottom Line... Kellen Moore is still the starting QB for the Cowboys this Sunday. However, their goal in the Draft is to get a QB that will be Romo's replacement (when he retires). We clearly need a running back as well! And so many other things... mainly on Defense.  

Injuries... Everyone. Dez is having another surgery on his foot. Not a surprise. He probably rushed coming back, which we didn't really need him to. Romo doesn't need an additional surgery, which is good news! Hopefully he will heal fully in the coming months!

GO MAVS!!! 19-14

The Mavs broke a 4 game win streak Friday night when they lost to the Miami Heat. Our coach, Rick Carlisle, is quite frustrated with our offense. We either come out of the gate shooting or we are lame ducks. 

 Good thing is... each night, it seems like a different guy steps up. J.J. Barea has lead the team in scoring 3 out of the last 5 games! His highest was 32 points vs. the Brooklyn Nets and 26 vs. the Chicago Bulls. He even had 23 points vs. the Golden State Warriors! Keep doing what you're doing J.J.! We need you!! 

Check out the full schedule.

GO STARS!!! 28-8-3

So, I will not pretent to be the biggest Stars fan... but I can't deny that they are amazing this year!! They are 1st in the Western Conference and one Win behind Montreal to be first in the entire NHL. 

 Even watching Sports Center every morning... I see Barry Melrose talking about the Dallas Stars being the best team in the NHL!! I'm not gonna lie, it's kind of fun! 

 I even got to attend a game this year and it's way more fun in person than on TV. Which is how I feel about baseball! (Football is the only sport most people like on TV better because of the multiple angles). 

 If you get a chance to go to a game with the family... do it! This may be 1999 all over again! #theeagle

Random Info:
It's the New Year. 

 Resolutions. Goals. Finance Budgets. Social expectations. The list goes on. 

 Well, I was fortunate enough to spend time with friends of mine on January 1st. One of my friends made dinner for a group of her closest girl friends. She served us, and wouldn't let us help with a thing. Made everything from scratch and then had a list of questions for us to talk through and reflect on for 2015 into 2016. 

 It was so encouraging and yet some of the questions were hard to answer. But, I believe God is in everything. The good days, the bad, the days you don't understand anything at all and the days where you feel like you are nailing it. 

 "It's okay to not be okay, just don't stay there." ~ Matt Chandler

 So... here are a few of the questions she listed... maybe it would be helpful for you in your life to ponder these and see how life could look differently. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If last year could be summed up in one word, what would it be? 

What were some major life lessons you learned this year? 

What do you want to ask for and pray actively for in 2016? 

What's the most humanly impossible thing you will ask God to do this year? 

What is the single biggest time waster in your life, and what will you do about it this year? 

What habit would you like to establish this year? 

Who is the person you want to most encourage this year? 

What single thing that you plan to do this year will matter the most in 10 years? Eternity? 

In what area of your life do you need the most growth, and what will you do about it this year? 

If those who know you best are to give you one piece of advice, what would they say? Would they be right? What will you do about it? 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I hope you know you are worthy of being loved, and I hope you are all free to accept it when it happens.

 Here's a great podcast if you have 47 minutes to spare... listen. 

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...

Over-reaction Monday Week 8

GO COWBOYS!!! Cowboys lose to the Detroit Lions... 30-31 This game was a bit crazy. If you ever wanted to know about football, all it entails and how crazy people are for watching it and loving it... this a great game to watch!  Bottom line...  ~ Detroit Defense - they did a great job stopping our offense. Passing and running. They held Tony Romo (our QB) to 206 yards, which 110 of those were on 2 TD passes. And they held Joseph Randal (our RB) to 14 carries for 26 yards. ( aka... not good ) Ndamukong Suh - Defensive Tackle for the Lions, is a crazy man. Literally. He had his D ready today.  ~ Matthew Stafford - Detroit's QB that is from Highland Park, played for UGA. He played well... The kid threw for 488 yards and had a very sneaky TD at the end of the game to win it for the Lions. Detroit's Offense completed 29 1st downs vs. Dallas' 13 1st downs. ( there are 4 downs in football... which means you have 4 chances to get the ball 10 yards, running or ...

Over-reaction Monday Week 9 ~ MAVS

GO COWBOYS!!! Dallas beat the Minnesota Vikings 23-27! Yaya! We are now 5-4 (Wins -Losses) ! Whew. If you've watched most of the games this season, or any season - you'll know that almost all of them come down to the last few minutes of the 4th quarter. That's just part of sports.  Here are the few "over-reaction" stats you'll need for tomorrow...  ~ Adrian Peterson ( Vikings RB ) - He did what he always does. Run over the defense. He is from TX and had over 80+ fans at the game cheering for him. He also lost his son a few weeks ago to a tragic accident. He looked like he was playing with more heart today than in the past few weeks, but our D held them overall. He did have a spectacular TD run... he is an amazing athlete!  ~ Tony Romo (our QB) - threw the ball 51 times. That is a lot! He only completed 34 of those passes. What does that mean? Well, it means he did well with what he has. He spread the ball between all WR ( Wide Receiver ) options, had ...
