Week 9: Tennessee Titans vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ Dallas Mavs ~ Wunderlist

GO Cowboys!!! 3-4 (wins ~ losses)
Tennessee Titans vs. Dallas Cowboys (away team ~ home team)
Monday, November 5th at 7:15 PM CST on ESPN

Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights out, carry me home...

If you have no clue where those lyrics are from, it's totally okay, I just assume it's what a few Coaches and Players are saying this week.

The Cowboys had a BYE week last week, coming off another road loss to the Washington Redskins. Yes, the Redskins, our in-division rival.


Here are the two major events that occurred during the BYE week, aside from rest and World Series Games...

1. We fired our Offensive Line (O-Line) Coach and promoted a previous player, Marc Columbo.
2. We gave the Oakland Raiders a FIRST ROUND draft pick next year for their 24 year old Wide Receiver (WR), Amari Cooper. Read on.

We will see results this Monday night when the Cowboys play the Titans.

Our hope is that Dak and Cooper connect immediately, if not, it will be a rough game.
Cooper is in his fourth season in the NFL and was not being utilized in Oakland. He's also on my fantasy football team and had two games over 10 points, every other week he got less than 2!!!! But, I'm starting him this week, in a normal WR slot. That's how much I am hoping, and believing, this will workout for both the Cowboys and my 3-5 fantasy team.

We know Cooper will be a distraction for their Defense, ranked 7th in the league against the pass. And we're hoping that this opens more doors for Elliott (our RB, Running Back) to bust through! If Columbo has new ideas on how the O-line can buy time for Dak, this may be a win win? At least that is what we are all hoping for.

The 411 on Tennessee...

They're offense is struggling, badly, similar to ours. But they're ranked 31st out of 32 teams in the league. And shockingly enough, our Dallas Defense is ranked #1 in the NFL! But both teams are 3-4 going into this game. Marcus Mariota, the Titans QB, has only thrown 3 TD's in 7 games. They're looking to use their RB, Dion Lewis a lot against the Cowboys D and get points on the board early.

Our advantage/disadvantage is we're at home, and we have won all three times we've played there, so we should win. So, happy Tuesday y'all! The Cowboys beat the Titans! Yay!

Bonus: Jason Witten is calling his first Cowboys game since retiring last year! Read on.



Titans 12 ~ Cowboys 17
GO MAVS!!! 2-7
Y'all, I've yet to go to a game, but we're only 9 in on the season.

However, after listening to sports radio this past week, everyone is obsessed with Luka Doncic, the 19 year old from Slovenia. He's averaging 19.6 points per game (PPG), and is tied with Klay Thompson at 26th in the league.

When the Mavs played the Los Angeles Lakers the other night, everyone was talking about the match-up between Doncic and Lebron. Lebron is listed at 250 lbs and Doncic is listed at 218 lbs. I wish I had seen the game because we only lost by 1 point!

For you Lebron fans, this match-up will happen again in LA on November 30th.

Here are some upcoming games...


GO RANGERS!!!
We have a new Manager, Chris Woodward, from the LA Dodgers. They just lost to the Red Sox in the World Series last week, but they went back to back years, like the Rangers did in 2010 and 2011. Come on over friend, we know your pain! And couldn't you have brought Clayton Kershaw with you before he re-signed with the Dodgers?

Thoughts...
Wunderlist is one of the best apps.

I use this for many reasons...
~ grocery lists
~ travel lists (you can share with friends)
~ To Do lists
~ Black Friday/Cyber Monday lists

So that is my recommendation, download Wuderslist (or your app of choice), and start a list for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This will help you stay focused on your purchases and not overspend on things you don't need (and I use the word "need" loosely). And so you're not overwhelmed and miss out on some great deals!

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...

Week 11: Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ Mavs ~ Gift Guide for Black Friday

GO COWBOYS!!! 8-1 1st in the NFL (I've died and gone to Heaven) 1st in the NFC EAST Sunday, November 20th Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys  (home team is second) 12:00 PM CST on CBS First things first... the Cowboys are playing amazing football right now! Even sportscasters who don't like the Cowboys can't stop talking about them.  I mentioned last week that we are the most balanced team in the league. When your Offense and Defense share an even amount of time on the field, it is easier to stay fresh and productive. If you leave your D out there too long, they're bound to make mistakes. So even with our Offense being as productive as they are, they are still staying on the field long enough to keep it balanced.  The Cowboys have a total of 219 first downs this season and lead the league at Offensive time of possession, 33:39 minutes ( an NFL football game is made up of 4 quarters, 15 minutes each, a total of 60 minutes ).  ...

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.
