Looking back... Looking ahead ~ Mavs ~ Rangers ~ Cowboys ~ Shine Your Way

Looking back... Looking ahead... 

 So, it's been a while since I've blogged about Sports...

 ~ The Super Bowl Happened, Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos won! 
~ Von Miller was the MVP of the Super Bowl and is probably going to be the highest paid defensive player in 2016! 
~ DeMarcus Ware now has a Championship Ring, with the Broncos, clearly not with the Cowboys. 
~ Peyton Manning retired. #18 played 18 years... and went out with 2 Super Bowl Championships and a slew of accolades. Nice job, Sir! 
~ The Dallas Stars are still 1st in the Western Conference and 2nd in the NHL, even though they've only won 4 out of their last 10 games. They WILL make the playoffs!! (odds are in their favor)
~ It's officially Golf Season and The Master's is coming up on April 7-10 on CBS. 
~ MARCH MADNESS is upon us!! Today is Selection Sunday!! Get your brackets ready... to be destroyed!!! This is the one event I am just plain terrible at picking. I may try the trick of picking the uniform colors I like best. ha! Not very sporty of me or scientific, but none of it is! Best of luck! 

GO MAVS!!! 33-33

We're 8th in the Western Conference. Not that good anymore... with only a month left to play and on the heels of a 5 game losing streak. 

 Dirk is still putting up great numbers, averaging 18.2 points per game, but the rest of the team needs to get in sync. (no, not the boy band... bye bye bye). 

 When you're batting .500 and the playoffs are approaching... you have to have a players only meeting or something to motivate you past the point of mediocrity. 

 Let's face it, no one is going to beat the Warriors... except a random LA win for Kobe's last year... so the rest of us are playing against each other! 

 If you get to make it to a game... I suggest this Friday night, vs. Golden State!!! Your last chance to see Steph Curry play in Dallas for 2016... unless the playoffs come here! 

Check out the full schedule.

GO RANGERS!!! 
SPRING-TRANING

We're only two weeks into Spring Training and so much has already happened...

 1. We acquired Ian Desmond, free agent, played shortstop for the Washington Nationals. He is going to play Left Field for the Rangers to replace Josh Hamilton while he's on the IR (injured reserve)... more knee issues, but still the highest paid player on the Texas Rangers. 
2. Joey Gallo can hit home runs over 400 feet! And hits cars. Watch.
3. Yu Darvish should return in May from Tommy John surgery. Finally. 
4. Jurickson Profar (another prodigy we have been waiting to see play a full season) is doing great in Spring Training... but it remains to be seen if he'll be named to the Rangers starting roster. 

 If you want to keep up with The Rangers is Surprise Arizona... here's the full schedule. 

 Opening Day is... April 4th... 3:05 PM vs. the Seattle Mariners. Tickets are sold out, so you'll either have to watch on TV or stubhub it! Or SeatGeek... that's a great site too!

GO COWBOYS!!!
OFF-SEASON

The NFL draft is on April 28-30 in Chicago, IL. (If it goes back to NYC... I'll be there)! 

 Here is the latest Mock Draft and who has the Dallas Cowboys picking which players. I've said for the past two years I want Ezekiel Elliott... but I agree we need Defensive Ends too... soooo yeah. Let's get D-Ware back from Denver?!?! :) Kidding - he already signed his deal. 

 More to come...

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...
