Over-reaction Monday Week 13 ~ MAVS


GO COWBOYS!!!




Week 13 Matchup: Dallas Won!!!! We beat the Oakland Raiders!! 31-24 :) 

Did you see the first play of the game. If you did, Terrance Williams (replacement for Dwayne Harris who normally catches the ball on Special Teams) dropped punt that lead to a touchdown for the Oakland Raiders. Wow. That had a sucker-punch feeling to it after eating my Thanksgiving Meal! Not the best way to digest! Good thing is... it got better. Not prettier, but better, because we won. 

~ Dallas Defense. Man, we need Sean Lee back. He's the linebacker I told you was out last week and again this week with a hamstring injury. I'm not saying he's the best player ever, but the rest of the Defense clearly plays smarter when that kid is on the field. We had one interception by Brandon Carr; aside from that, it was not good. We play the Chicago Bears a week from this coming  Monday. This gives our Defense 11 days to read the play book, practice it and execute! 

~ Dallas Offense. Ugh. Roller-coaster. We have a run game with Dunbar and Murray (144 yards), then we don't. We have a passing game with Dez Bryant and Jason Witten (208 yards), then we don't. Cole Beasley made his flash appearance with 3 receptions. Dez scored a TD, giving Tony Romo his 25th consecutive game with a TD pass. Great stats for Romo, I'm just glad it came with a W! (W=win) Like I said for the Defense... we have 11 days until our next game... our Offense should use this time to study up on the next four teams leading into the playoffs! 

~ Dan Bailey, our kicker. He was perfect again today! Keep your expectations high for this kid! He is the most consistent player on our team! :) 

Cowboys next game... Monday, Dec 9 at Chicago 7:30 PM CST. Game On! 

Standings... The Dallas Cowboys are 7-5. It has NOT been pretty, or easy, but that's not what football is about! It was just as messy when the New York Giants won their Super Bowl in 2009... limping in. We will see what the E*g*es can do this week to possibly tie us. We're not too worried about the Giants. And the Redskins are playing blindfolded... but they'll get great draft picks next year!! 

Buy Dallas Cowboys Gear for Christmas!! :)

GO MAVS!!!

Mavs record is... 9-6... we need to hold on to this lead in the West... (We are in the Western Conference) 

~ Leave it to a Rookie to help us get the W against Golden State! Shane Larkin made a 3 point shot to help the Mavs lead against the Warriors! Dirk had 22 points and Monte Ellis was assist man. ("assist" - this is when a player passes the ball to another player and they score off that pass. It is called an assist. They get credited for this type of play and some guys make an entire career off of if! Just ask Jason Kidd!

~ We need to play better Defense and get more rebounds. I used to joke that the team who has the most rebounds at the end of the game wins. But that may actually be scientific?!? We'll see...

GO RANGERS!!!

~ No other major trades have been made. I will let you know if you should start crying because they're getting rid of our favorite players.

Random Info:
~ Now that you probably ate way too much today! You should beat the New Years Resolution crowd and start your workout routine today!! :) It's so simple! Wake up, do a few pushups, crunches or join a gym with classes. Find a friend to walk with or meet you at the gym!! The mental part of getting motivated to go to the gym or put in your workout DVD is way harder than the work you'll do once you get there! So... just get there! Make it happen! Stay strong! Or get strong if you're not yet! I have a few DVD's I love and I make time for... Bar Method... it is a great workout for ladies. I think men would get bored with it... unless you want to tone your glutes with isometrics - ha! :) Happy Exercising!!! 

Best Commercial during the Games... turkey pet...

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 ).  Ton

POSTSEASON BASEBALL: Toronto Blue Jays vs. Texas Rangers ~ Baseball Etiquette ~ Dallas Cowboys Over-reaction Tuesday

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. No hitting batters, no one getting ejected. We need our entire roster in the ALCS. We need to play Texas Ranger baseball. Period. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Games 1 and 2 are this Thursday at 3:30 PM and Friday at Noon in Arlington, TX. Games 3 and 4 are Sunday and Monday in Toronto.   No,
