COWBOYS 5-3 (wins-losses)
Sunday, November 12th
Dallas Cowboys vs. Atlanta Falcons (home team is second)
3:25 PM CST on FOX

The Cowboys are going to Atalanta on Sunday. 

 They are coming off three straight wins against the 49ers, Redskins and Chiefs.

 Can we beat the Falcons? 

 Matt Ryan and team? The guys who lost to Tom Brady in the Super Bowl last year? 

 Well, as much as I like Matt Ryan, and his team. I don't think they will beat the Cowboys. 

 Comparison... play by play... 

 Matt Ryan (their QB) has thrown for more yards (2,157 vs. 1,181), but Dak (our QB) has more TD passes (4 vs. 1).  

 Elliott (our hopefully not suspended yet RB) can out-run Freeman (their RB), any day.

 Julio Jones (their #1 WR) has 5 more receptions than Dez (our #1ish WR), and has 219 more yards. Now that is productivity!! But, if you're a fantasy owner, or any real team owner, you want the guy to score TD's. That is where Atlanta isn't the same as last year. They have the yards, but they are not converting (scoring on their drives - a drive is when they move the ball down the field, first down, after first down, then TOUCHDOWN - that's the goal). Advantage Cowboys.

 Dallas' D - this was one of my best BYE week pickups in fantasy! If they're still available in your league(s) - get them! I don't see these guys slowing down, even with injuries plaguing them. It's like Rod Marinelli light a fire under these guys. I like what I see. And I see them shutting down Matt Ryan and his passing game. 

 The main risk for the Cowboys is if Elliott doesn't play. His back-ups are Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden. Between these two guys, we should be able to take on the Atlanta D, ranked 18th in the league against the run. 

 If Dak can continue to keep Beasley, Witten and Williams involved... we will be in position to out-score the 2nd place team from last year! Block, Witten, Block!
Cowboys WIN, 28-17
GO COWBOYS!!!

**Check your phone Thursday evening to see if Elliott will play. Or sign up for ESPN Cowboys Suspension alerts. No, there's no such thing, but their should be.

GO MAVS!!! 2-10 (wins - losses)
After six losses... we WON a game!! 

 We beat the Washington Wizards 113-99! 

 Harrison Barnes had 31 points and 9 rebounds. Dennis Smith Jr. had 22 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and another intense slam dunk. I've got to go see this kid play!! 

 Here's the upcoming schedule! If you find yourself in Dallas around the holidays, it's fun to go to a basketball game during this time! They make things festive!! Or you could hit up a Stars game... they're all at the AAC.


 Random Info
I hadn't watched this movie in a while... Serendipity. 

 I don't agree with the entire theory, but the movie has a lot of great scenes of New York City and Central Park. One of my favorite places on earth.

 If you haven't been to NYC in a long time or ever, go. Don't be afraid of the city! Just go and enjoy the vastness that it is! 

 I highly recommend the Fall/early Winter or Spring. The Summer, in the city, can be brutal. It is a concrete island.

POSTSEASON BASEBALL: Toronto Blue Jays vs. Texas Rangers ~ Baseball Etiquette ~ Dallas Cowboys Over-reaction Tuesday

GO RANGERS !!! ALDS PLAYOFFS - THIS THURSDAY It's official... we are playing the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS.  Dang it.  I can't stand the Blue Jays. They have trashy fans. No, literally, they throw trash on the field .  And Jose Bautista is a punk. No one needs your bat flippin' drama!  And we all remember this... Odor punching Bautista earlier this year. Watch . All the sports people are going to have a field day over this. I bet they wish they had given us the evening time slots now! Except that Toronto's TV ratings don't count, eh?  How we win... stay focused. Eliminate the drama. We beat them during the regular season. We can do it again. No hitting batters, no one getting ejected. We need our entire roster in the ALCS. We need to play Texas Ranger baseball. Period. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Games 1 and 2 are this Thursday at 3:30 PM and Friday at Noon in Arlington, TX. Games 3 and 4 are Sunday and Monday in Toronto. ...

Over-reaction Monday Week 6

GO COWBOYS!!! The Cowboys are 3-3... ( Wins are always the first number - Losses are the 2nd number ) - we're batting .500 folks! We Beat the Redskins!!! 16-31 :)  This was a great game!!! The Cowboys fought hard, and Tony Romo (our QB) played with a similar intensity as he did last week. ( The competition wasn't nearly as pressing, but he still got the job done! ) Good job Romo! He was also able to hit all of his WR's again! If the Offensive Line continues to give Romo time ( Cowboys fans have been whining about this for years ) - he should be able to produce a few more W's! ( "W" - Win )  ~ Dwayne Harris (WR) - this guy is fast! That's all you need to know. He plays on our Special Teams roster, and returns punts. He is always fast and can juke the defensive players very well. Scored a TD ( touchdown ) in this game and came close to scoring a second one! Props to Harris! ( "Special Teams" - so, there is the Offense, Defense and then the S...

Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day ~ Thankful for Sports ~ Thankful for Life

Dallas Cowboys Sunday, November 22 @ 3:25  PM CST Dallas Cowboys vs. Minnesota Vikings  (home team is second) & Thanksgiving Day, November 26 @ 3:30  PM CST Washington Redskins vs. Dallas Cowboys  (home team is second) Our record is 2-7. That's two wins, seven losses. Every other conference in the NFL has a team in the lead with at least 6 wins. The Eagles are leading the NFC East with a 3-5 record, while the Cowboys are tied with Washington in 3rd and 4th place. This should make the Thanksgiving day game interesting. Two 2-7 teams, prime time at 3:30 PM on Turkey Day!!  Not quite the games we've watched in the past with this rivalry, but this will be the first year the Cowboys are playing The Washington Football Team, with no name. That's kind of cool. And of course there will be a Salvation Army nod with Zeke.  That is if Zeke can run the ball. He hasn't had a game over 100 yards this season and we're playing Dalvin Cook this week vs. the Minnesota V...
