GO MAVS!!! 24-28 (wins ~ losses) If you've seen the news lately... you know a big trade happened between the Mavs and the New York Knicks!  The " Unicorn " has come to Dallas!!  photo from mavs.com Knicks players traded to Dallas: Kristaps Porzingis  - Power Forward Courtney Lee  - Shooting Guard Tim Hardaway Jr.  - Guard Trey Burke  - Point Guard *they will play after physicals are completed Dallas players traded to Knicks: Dennis Smith Jr. ( tears ) - Point Guard DeAndre Jordan ( dude we just got from the Clippers ) - Center Wesley Matthews ( love that dude ) - Shooting Guard Two future FIRST round Mavs draft picks Looks like our Dallas owners like giving up First Round draft picks. Hopefully Porzingis turns out as good as the Cooper trade did for the Cowboys, if not better!  Bad news first... Porzingis is recovering from ACL surgery on his left knee. He will NOT play the rest of the 2018-2019 season. Sad. Go...

GO Cowboys!!! PLAYOFFS DIVISIONAL GAME Dallas Cowboys vs. Los Angeles Rams ( away team ~ home team ) Saturday, January 12th at 7:15 PM CST on FOX We won round one!!!  I thought we could, but it was a battle and Seattle didn't go down easily. The last three minutes of the game made me squirm, but the onside kick sealed the deal.  Quick recap... Maher made a field goal. Seattle gets a field goal, then loses their 40 year old kicker to a hamstring injury. Dallas scores on an 11 yard pass to Gallup. Maher misses a field goal. Seattle scores and gets the two point conversion. Elliott scores. Dak scores. Seattle scores... we win. Whew. Y'all. 22-24 was the final and it about took my breath away. LA RAMS These dudes were in St. Louis until 2015. Then they move to LA, and get their young head coach, Sean McVay , which was probably the best decision they've ever made. He starts winning games, they have Jared Goff as their second year QB, Todd Gurley as their...

GO Cowboys!!! 10-6 (wins ~ losses) PLAYOFFS WILD CARD GAME Seattle Seahawks vs. Dallas Cowboys ( away team ~ home team ) Saturday, January 5th at 7:15 PM CST on FOX We won. Without Zeke, we WON! We beat the Giants first string ( without OBJ ). Dak played the entire game and our void of a Tight End issue may be fixed!  Blake Jarwin !!! Walk-on at OK State, undrafted in the NFL, practice squad dude had the game of a lifetime! 7 receptions, 119 yards and 3 TD's ( touchdowns )!  Y'all!! My cousins were in town that all went to OSU and were thrilled that this guy had his moment! He even won the NFC Offensive Player of the week honor! Seems like a great dude and someone we will need to leverage  going into the Playoffs! Which is one reason why Dak played the entire game... Jarwin and that last pass to  Cole Beasley . Crazy ending!!! But I'll take it! #momentum What are Dallas' keys to victory?  1. Run Zeke Run. He didn't play at all last week ...

GO Cowboys!!! 9-6 (wins ~ losses) We WON the NFC East Division! Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants ( away team ~ home team ) Sunday, December 30th at 12:00 (Noon) CST on FOX Sunday, Sunday Sunday...  The Cowboys play the New York Giants, another division rival, who is already out of the running for the Playoffs. The Cowboys clinched the NFC East in the game last week vs. Tampa Bay.  So, what do you do when you barely make it into the Playoffs and you need to rest your players, but you also want to win in order to get a better seed in the Playoffs?? The game becomes a pre-season game on steroids. The Giants are going to play their best players for a while but they will also see what young guys can do to build on for next year.  What will the Cowboys do? There's a mix of all things happening, not sure it's all going to work.  Who is confirmed to play?  Dak Prescott ( QB - quarterback ) - for how long? Probably three quarters? Unless we're ...
