GO COWBOYS!!! Week 12 Matchup: Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants... We Won!!!! 24-21... Crazy!!!  If I can make it there... I'll make it anywhere... it's up to you, New York... New York... a little Frank Sinatra to set the mood...  listen while you read... Those Cowboys... dang. This looked like a 5A high school game in the first half, but then we started seeing some grown men bust out their B+ game!  They did it. They beat the Giants twice this year! My love for the Cowboys is the most confusing relationship in my life! Don't question it, they will always be my team. You take the good with the bad. That's life. That's sports.  ~ Tony Romo (our QB) - the kid held his own today! Not the impact player from the Broncos game, but definitely more of that guy than any other week! He had to be, they were going to shut down any hint of a run game... and they did. Murray and Dunbar rushed for a combined 107 yards, vs the Giants Running Backs who rushed for 202 yard...

GO COWBOYS!!! Week 12 Matchup: Dallas Cowboys vs New York Giants  ( in New York - since they're the 2nd team listed ) -  GAME TIME - Sunday, 3:25 PM CST New York... New York... oh how I miss New York! So, I've mentioned before that I lived there for a while... back in my mid 20's... gosh I sound old. Anyhow, it is a wonderful city!! Giants fans are better than Jets fans, but can still be annoying with the accents and chants. The worst is J-E-T-S, jets, jets, jets!  So we're playing the Giants this week... again. If you remember we played them the first week of the season and won! Big! ( Here's the  preview  from that week. ) Dallas is coming off a BYE week. ( The week where we don't play - we get a vacation... from losing ).  ~ The most annoying thing about the Giants right now is they have won 4 games in a row. And that Eli Manning is their QB ( this is Peyton Manning's little brother... remember... the dude I raved about from the Denver Broncos, f...

GO COWBOYS!!! Dallas has a BYE this week. They do not play this weekend.  Ladies ( since that's kinda who I started this blog for )... this is your one chance to get your husband/boyfriend out of the house until February. Unless he plays Fantasy Football, he will still sit in front of the TV this weekend. Sorry.  Maybe you could get him to run a few errands with you? Download the ScoreCenter App  on his phone! He will be fine, except for the Sunday Night and Monday Night games. Sorry, you can't pass up Denver vs. Kansas City and New England vs. Carolina. ( Peyton with only 1 loss trying to give KC their first loss and Brady coming off a Bye week to take on Carolina's All-Star Rookie Defense... Game On!! )  Christmas is only 6 weeks away... this may be your one shot to get the lights on the house, gifts purchased and the tree pulled out of the attic. Or, since Christmas is actually about Jesus being born and Family... you could start a puzzle thi...

GO COWBOYS!!! Dallas loses... 17-49!! New Orleans Saints Dominate... as everyone suspected! We are now 5-5  (Wins -Losses) ! Well, if your husband, boyfriend or dude you were near a TV with was watching the game... ( still watching the game after the 3rd quarter... ) you would know we lost to the Saints... BIG! You may want to give him some space today - let him vent - he'll rebound quickly! We're used to losing!  ~ Drew Brees is Drew Brees ( Saints QB )! I told y'all he is a Top 5 QB, and has many weapons on his Offense. ( "weapon" - receiving corps that he can throw to, WR's, RB's, TE's... ) He hit just about all of them, throwing for 392 yards and 4 TD's. (touchdowns) ~ Darren Sproles, Pierre Thomas and Mark Ingram ( RB's for the Saints ) - Well, I didn't know Sproles would play all night, or play as well as he played. Our Defense didn't have an answer for Brees, any of the WR's or TE Jimmy Graham and especially not for Sp...

GO COWBOYS!!! Week 10 Matchup: Dallas Cowboys vs New Orleans Saints  ( in NO - since they're the 2nd team listed ) -  GAME TIME - Sunday, 7:30 PM CST Oh when the Saints come marching in... with Drew Brees.  Drew Brees  (Saints QB) - this guy is an Elite QB. To keep it brief, he is a top 5 QB - holds a few NFL passing records and seems like a stand up guy outside of football. He played all last season without his head coach and still went 7-9. He is a leader and someone our Defense will need to put a lot of pressure on! Similar to Romo, Brees always makes a play and finds his WR's. Saints Offense - Darren Sproles (RB) - dude is playing very well - if he's healthy - he will play this week! Jimmy Graham (TE) - well this guy will tear up our Dallas D if we let him! Must stop Jimmy Graham!  Tony Romo (our QB) - We know Romo can throw. He's proven that he can hit his targets (WR's, TE's, RB's). He will have a lot of pressure from the Saints Defense. Th...

GO COWBOYS!!! Dallas beat the Minnesota Vikings 23-27! Yaya! We are now 5-4 (Wins -Losses) ! Whew. If you've watched most of the games this season, or any season - you'll know that almost all of them come down to the last few minutes of the 4th quarter. That's just part of sports.  Here are the few "over-reaction" stats you'll need for tomorrow...  ~ Adrian Peterson ( Vikings RB ) - He did what he always does. Run over the defense. He is from TX and had over 80+ fans at the game cheering for him. He also lost his son a few weeks ago to a tragic accident. He looked like he was playing with more heart today than in the past few weeks, but our D held them overall. He did have a spectacular TD run... he is an amazing athlete!  ~ Tony Romo (our QB) - threw the ball 51 times. That is a lot! He only completed 34 of those passes. What does that mean? Well, it means he did well with what he has. He spread the ball between all WR ( Wide Receiver ) options, had ...
