Dallas Cowboys in London ~ Mavs ~ Friends

GO COWBOYS!!! 6-3

WEEK 10 - Dallas Cowboys vs Jacksonville Jaguars
(remember, the second team is at HOME)
Game Time: Sunday, November 9 12:00 PM (CST)  

London... England... yup, we're there.

The NFL has been trying to get more publicity in England since 2007. There are four regular season NFL games this year in London's Wembley Stadium, which is the largest in the UK. This stadium was designed for football, or shall I say, fútbol. We all know soccer is "football" in an International context... it's only us Americans who are obsessed with pigskin. 

Do you know what pork rinds are? I learned what they are on a recent girls trip to South Carolina... interesting.

So, the game, eh? (kidding that's Canadian

Tony to the Romo... well, this dude. He made the trip to London. Good times. I hope he flew first class where you get to lay down and sleep. I've never done that, but I've seen it in movies. I saw a live interview with him this morning from London, and he looked a little rusty. Like the Tin Man, in Wizard of Oz, before they find the oil can. Okay, he didn't look that bad, but I secretly hope he doesn't play. 

You see, the Cowboys have a BYE week next week. Which means, they get a week off! Their next game after this London exhibition will be on Sunday, Nov 23 vs the New York Giants. So, Romo could have this week, and the next two weeks to heal up and get back for the 23rd game, the Playoffs and the Super Bowl victory in Arizona. 

***Herm Edwards said on SC today that the Dallas Cowboys are 17-1 when DeMarco Murray runs 20 or more times in a game. Feed the Horse!*** 

Jacksonville has a 1-8 record in the AFC. (We're in the NFC - National League - the AFC is the American League) However, they are tied for 3rd in the NFL for sacks on a QB, with 27 sacks. Now, their overall defense isn't so hot. They're ranked like 30 out of 32 teams, which means... RUN THE BALL! Their QB is a rookie, drafted this past year, so they still have a lot of learning to do. Next year kid, next year!

Bottom Line: If the O-Line can protect the run game, with Weeden or Romo, we should and will dominate this game. DeMarco Murray and the O-Line can save the day! Jacksonville played in London last year, but that is the only advantage they have over us. As for our Defense, just keep your head in the game. No stupid penalties, and protect Dan Bailey on Special Teams. Veterans... Jason Witten... dude will still be the go to if Weeden is in. Dez Bryant needs a catch in the first quarter... simply so we don't have to hear them talk about how he hasn't had a catch in the first quarter, or the second, or the third. 

We believe that we will win! :)

GO MAVS!!! 3-1 

Yea, we beat the Boston Boys!!! Celtics went down... :) 

The game wasn't so pretty... Rondo was Rondo, but our guys need to mesh a little more. The 4th quarter was a little rocky, but they will figure it out. Give them another month and they'll be doing no look passes, one handed half court shots and a little "Dude Perfect" stuff. 

I must say, it is nice to have Tyson Chandler back. And Dirk is doing his thing, averaging 20.8 points per game (PPG).

When I think of London, I think of many things... and one of those things is the TV show Friends. 

I never knew this about why Ross says Rachel's name at his wedding to Emily... watch

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,
