GO Cowboys!!!
Dallas Cowboys vs. Carolina Panthers (away team ~ home team)
Sunday, September 9 @ 3:25 PM CST
Wow! A lot has happened between a few pre-season losses and the week before the Season Opener in Carolina.
There may be more than this, but here's what I've read/seen/heard. I'm just a girl with a day job... no insider info here (oh, but one day)?
We're starting with the most shocking news to the least shocking news...
1. Dan Bailey. Yes, my friend just bought his jersey last year, and he's SHOCKINGLY not a Cowboy anymore. This is our Ace kicker, second most accurate kicker in the entire NFL. He had a groin injury last year and was not as accurate when he came back from it. However, it's hard to believe he's THAT bad? If you're still sad about the decision made by the Cowboys Coaches/GM, here are a couple of articles that will empathize with you. There was a kicking competition? A deep dive into Dan Bailey's last three seasons.
p.s. He's trying out for the NY Jets this week. He'll love it in NY, but the Jets??
And here is a clip from today where Jason Garrett "explains himself" based on this decision. Basically it came down to Money...?
2. Travis Frederick. Our four time Pro-Bowl Center (on our Offensive Line, the guy who snaps (hikes) the ball to Dak (QB)), is out indefinitely. He has been diagnosed with an auto-immune disease called, Guillain-Barre Syndrome. This is sad because I feel like auto-immune diseases are far too common these days. But they caught this early and he is already undergoing treatment. The Cowboys made a trade for Parker Ehinger, an O-Lineman from Kansas City. This should help until Frederick is back. If you pray, please pray for his complete healing! And if you don't know about his personal life, he does a lot for the city of Dallas through his foundation, Blocking Out Hunger. Here is an article including a statement from Travis.
3. Bo Scarbrough, Running Back draft pick from Alabama, didn't make the 53 man roster, but did make the practice squad. Nick Saban does a great job winning National Championships, but not a lot of 'Bama players seem to do well in the NFL. Hopefully this guy does well for himself and gets a shot at being a backup for Elliott.
4. Rico Gathers. A lot of guys were cut Saturday, to get the team down to only 53 guys... and this is why Gathers is my last thought of the day. Not shocking that the guy who has been inconsistent as a Tight End, and now has drug charges, made the team. I am always a fan of second chances, but the Cowboys have a proven history of keeping "favorites." Hopefully he gets focused on football and around some guys in the locker room that are positive to be around!
We haven't been to a Super Bowl since the 1995 season. Does that bother anyone? It should. 8-8 is unacceptable this year. I'm holding myself to the same standard in my Fantasy Football league. #gobigorgohome #winit

(yes, I care more about the Cowboys winning than my fantasy team, kind of)

GO RANGERS!!! 60-77 (wins - losses)
Despite the Rangers being out of the race, they're still putting on a show!
They won their last two games vs. the Minnesota Twins with scores of 7-4 and 18-4.
We hit 109 home runs before the All-Star break and have had 61 since vs. our opponent total of 69 HR's. It looks like in the game last night they tried to spike that HR number!! Fun to watch!
Bonus: We are seeing our guys be more patient on Offense. We have 149 walks vs. our opponents having 122. We need guys like Gallo to be on the walk list. He's all walk or all HR. Maybe he'll work on bunting on the off-season?
There are still 25 games left in the season, starting tonight vs. the LA Angels. The weather will eventually cool off... going to a game is a great way to enjoy the month of September in Texas!

Y'all. Spring Cleaning has a better ring to it, but let's be honest, we probably need to clean and purge a few times a year!
I started this weekend with clothes and shoes. If I haven't worn it, or don't need it, someone else may want it or need it. There are a lot of places to donate your shoes and clothes to! Even your unwanted books and home items.
Choose the app you want to sell on (there are more than these)... then start selling!
