Week 7: Cowboys vs. New York Giants ~ Dierks Bentley Riser

GO COWBOYS!!! 2-3 (wins - losses)

Sunday, October 25th
Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants (home team is second)
3:25 PM CST on FOX

On the road again... 
I just can't wait to get on the road again... 

 Why have I started the past few Cowboys posts with old Western songs... Maybe my Grandpa's influence or my Dad's... gotta love them! 

 I mentioned last week, during our BYE week (aka, mini vacation from playing), that we were making some changes on Offense... and Defense, but mainly Offense. 

 We will stroll into the Meadowlands, in NYC, actually New Jersey, where the New York Giants (and New York Jets) play. 

 Their home turf is past the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of twirly, swirly gumdrops, and then you go through the Lincoln Tunnel (literally). ~ Elf (please tell me you've watched this once already this Fall)

 The Giants are fairly healthy, with Eli Manning at QB and Rashad Jennings at RB and Odell Beckham, Jr. at WR. He's not 100% and the Eagles shut him down with the double-team in the second half of the game Monday night, but he's still OBJ! 

 Now, the Giants are coming off of a short week. They played the Philadelphia Eagles Monday night, then turn around and play Sunday. We play them twice a year, so it's not that hard for them to figure us out. 

 The Cowboys played them in Week 1 and won 27-26. That was WITH Tony Romo, Dez Bryant and a healthy Jason Witten, in Dallas!

 This week.. we're playing them WITH Matt Castle at QB, Terrance Williams and Cole Beasley at WR, Jason Witten and his grit at TE, and Joseph Randle and Christine Michael at RB. Quite a different bunch, BUT, it's the Cowboys vs. Giants! You never know! 

 Bottom Line... With how the Philadelphia Eagles tore apart the Giants on Monday night, I figure we can throw in some plays that they haven't seen before with our new Offensive Regime and beat them! They're not used to Castle at QB, or our new RB we acquired from the Seattle Seahawks. 

Injuries... Romo. Dez. Lance Dunbar. Brice Butler. Randy Gregory.

 Nike made special shoes for Dez and he's been practicing... but I hope he holds out one more week!! Just my thoughts! He did buy a monkey as a pet. ha! 

Fantasy Football... If Christine Michael, James Stark or Stefon Diggs are available in your leagues... pick them up! Game on!!

If you've missed the Deep Blue Documentaries on The Dallas Cowboys... you should watch them... here.

They are all really good! Especially the one on Jason Witten and Jim Garrett. 

Enjoy!

Random Info:
Nothing crazy this week. 

 Just that I like Dierks Bentley's new song Riser. 

 A lot. 

But, I like Country music. 

 Sometimes, it's super cheesy. 

 And sometimes, it's goes right to the soul.

 This song has good words.

 And a great story.   

 Hug someone!

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,
