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!

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 ...

Week 2: New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ UNT beat Arkansas ~ Scooter Magruder

GO Cowboys!!! 0-1 (wins ~ losses) New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys ( away team ~ home team ) Sunday, September 16 @ 7:20 PM CST on NBC If you watched the game last week, where we lost to the Carolina Panthers, you have most likely decided to stop watching the rest of the season. It was a rough game. And it makes a lot of people think that first string players should get more reps during pre-season games so your Week 1 game isn't a scrimmage. So, during the " scrimmage ," that was a regular season game, Dak matched Cam Newton ( Carolina's QB ) in passing yards and was pretty close in accuracy. So where did Carolina win? Aside from wearing out our Defense... Newton had 13 carries for 58 rushing yards, allowing him to score one of their two TD's ( touchdowns ). Zeke ( our RB, running back ) had 15 carries for 69 rushing yards and one TD. Carolina out played us in the run game because they're not afraid to allow their QB to run. They converted more 1st ...
