Week 2: Cowboys vs. Eagles ~ Rangers SWEEP the Astros ~ Vacation

GO COWBOYS!!! 1-0 (wins - losses)

 Sunday, September 20th
Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles (home team is second)
3:25 PM CST

Cowboys quick hits... 

 We got a bit lucky last week. 

~ There were a few calls by the refs that the NFL stated were incorrect and favored the Cowboys; including a play that set up a Cowboys touchdown. 

 ~ Romo scored the winning TD to Witten... his go to guy... in less than a minute and a half, with no Dez and no DeMarco! 

 What will we do to the Eagles? The EXACT SAME THING!! But, hopefully with a better game plan! The first week is always a bit rusty. Work out the kinks and get back to it this week! 

 WR's - You'll see a lot more Cole Beasley, Terrance Williams and Jason Witten with Dez out. We obtained Brice Butler, WR, from the Oakland Athletics, same place we got Darren McFadden from. He is to replace Dez, for the next 6 weeks. He may be slotted in a few plays this week, but won't be fully up to speed until Week 3 vs. the Atlanta Falcons. Here are 10 things to know about Brice Butler. 

 RB's - Joseph Randel is still the starting back... but I think you'll see more of a triple threat this week to combat whatever the Eagles are doing on the ground. The Cowboys like to win by taking up the other teams time... running is the best way to do that! They will. 

Eagles quick hits... 

 We're playing our biggest rival this week. The Philadelphia Eagles. There's a long history here... I've written about before, but the real storyline is... our star Running Back (RB) from last year is now on their team. DeMarco Murray. 

 RB's - DeMarco only had 8 carries for 9 yards and a touchdown in last weeks game vs. Atlanta. He hopes to get more carries this week, but that isn't promising with Sproles and Matthews at his same position. 

 QB - Sam Bradford is their QB now. He played at OU in college, then played for the Saint Louis Rams... and is now in Philly. He has a great arm and is mobile, but I think our D can get at least two sacks on him and hold him to one touchdown. 

 Bottom Line... We will win. By 10. 

Injuries... Dez Bryant has a broken bone in his foot and will be back in 6 weeks. Randy Gregory, suffered a high ankle sprain and will also be back in 4-6 weeks. 

Fantasy Football... I hope you remembered to set your roster tonight! The Denver Broncos are playing the Kansas City Chiefs. Remember... the home team, in football specifically, has an advantage over their opponent. Most of the time. Keep that in mind when you're choosing one player over the other!

GO RANGERS!!! 79-67 
1st in AL West - .538, 2.5 games AHEAD of the Houston Astros, 7 games behind the Kansas City Royals in 1st Place in the American League

We've SWEPT the Houston Astros!!! What a great series!! Wow! We weren't supposed to win more than one or two of these games, according the experts. Whoever "they" are. But we did! All 4 games, 33 runs to their 13! Against their pitching Ace, Dallas Keuchel. HELLO WIN COLUMN! #redout

 Bats - Everyone is hitting! Mainly, Prince Fielder, Adrian Beltre, Shin-Soo Choo, Mitch Moreland, Elvis Andrus, and Mike Napoli. Look at this line-up. 

Field - Since those guys are hitting so well, the GM, Jeff Banister, has to figure out how to get all of these guys in positions on the field, so they can bat. 

 Napoli started as a catcher, when he first played with the Rangers. 
Then he played first base, but that would make Mitch Moreland DH and Prince Fielder is a better DH because Moreland plays First (Designated Hitter, he doesn't play in the field, only bats). Now Napoli is in left Field. 

 I would feel better about Napoli in Left Field (with a Right Handed Pitcher, Colby Lewis) if we had kept Alex Rios and played him in Center Field. That dude had great range and never missed a ball! Like Spider Man in Center Field! Oh well, Napoli is doing well. We'll see how this goes down the stretch! 

 We have 16 games left to hold on to the lead!!

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,
