Everything Dallas Cowboys Week 5

GO COWBOYS!!!

WEEK 5 - Houston Texans vs Dallas Cowboys 
(remember, the second team is at HOME)
Game Time: Sunday, Oct 5 - 12:00 PM (CST)  

Did you watch the game last week??? Please tell me you did!! 

If you're too young to know what it was like to cheer for the Dallas Cowboys in the early 90's... this is a glimmer of what that felt like. Glimmer. We've won 3 games in a row! Life-changing for Cowboys fans!! And now Saints fans know how we've felt for years!! 

The Cowboys run ruled the Saints... 38-17! I love Drew Brees, but it was a hard game to watch! 

Tony Romo, on the other hand, was so much more mobile and confident!! He has gotten better every game, which is hopeful for us as fans! Maybe he'll have a break-out year like Peyton Manning did last year after his neck surgery, which no one thought he would come back from? Either way, I think laying off his golf game and focusing on football is working out well for Romo! Props, Sir! 

This week... vs the Houston Texans... 

~ Have you heard the name J.J. Watt before? If you read this blog, you have. He's quite possibly the best Defensive player in the league! We've all oooo'd and awwww'd over Richard Sherman, Clay Matthews, Ray Lewis... but J.J. may be in a league of his own. Dude isn't just fast, but strong. He will do everything in his power to break up our passing game, get to Romo and try to sack him, and stop DeMarco Murray. He's a tornado of defense. 

Can we stop him? 

~ Can I get an Amen for our Offensive Line?? Talk about it! Finally... big dudes up front that are blocking like mad men and giving Romo time to throw! Brilliant. Doug Free. Zach Martin. Ronald Leary. Travis Frederick. Watch what these guys did to honor our late Coach, and one of the greatest ever, Tom Landry

~ Dallas Defense... We lost Morris Claiborne to an injury last week. It's what you get for pouting. Bruce Carter, our Defensive Linebacker is day to day with a quad injury. We need him back, he was a beast against the Rams with 12 tackles, an interception and a TD. 

Bottom Line: Balanced Offense. Strong Defense. This is what we're working towards. Romo and Murray tag teaming. Jason Witten finally had more of a role in Week 4, this is a great thing and we need him against the Texans! Blocking, running, everything! Stay healthy! We have too many guys going down early with injuries. Let's Gatorade up boys... stay hydrated... do yoga and ride the bike on the sidelines! (Talking as though I've ever played that hard in my life. ha!)

Cowboys on 3... 1, 2, 3... COWBOYS

Random Info:
There's so much negative press out there. Surrounding the NFL, its players, and just life in general... 

Here are some dudes that are trying to make a difference...

The NFL decided that to support a player, Devon Still, whose daughter is fighting cancer... they are donating ALL proceeds of his jersey sales to Cincinnati Children's Hospital of Cancer Research. Also accepting Cash donations to support her fight! Read more here

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,
