Week 17: Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles ~ Mavs ~ College Bowl Games ~ Happy New Year

GO COWBOYS!!! 13-2
Tied for 1st in the NFL with the NE Patriots (league)
1st in the NFC (conference)
1st in the NFC EAST (division)
Sunday, January 1st
Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles
12:00 Noon CST on FOX


This is the last week of the Regular Season, and the Cowboys are looking to win their 14th game! I'm still in disbelief! Not that a regular season record means that much, the New England Patriots were undefeated in 2008, 16-0, and lost the Super Bowl to the New York Giants. Those darn Giants; they keep coming out of nowhere. 

Speaking of the Giants, since the Cowboys lost to the Giants in Week 14, Dak Prescott has completed 47 of 56 pass attempts, for 491 yards, 3 TD's (touchdowns) and ZERO interceptions. Nice comeback kid! 

If the Cowboys win on Sunday, and Prescott plays a few downs, he will set a Rookie record winning his 14th game of the season. 

The Game Sunday... 

This game has more pride associated to it as opposed to the need to win. The Eagles are our division rival. They also have really rough fans... boo Santa, throw trash on the field, etc. Think Toronto Blue Jays fans, very similar. 

Even though the Eagles are out of the race for the playoffs, basically their season is over; they will still want to beat us and we want to beat them! 

We also need to keep our momentum going since we're headed into a BYE week next week in the First Round of the Playoffs. 

I bet Jerry is sad we didn't play both rounds so he could make more money. (Tickets are crazy expensive, so looks like I'll be watching the game from my living room). 

Who is starting for the Cowboys? 

Most teams who make the playoffs early and don't need to win the last game of the season, will sit their starting players and play the guys on the bench.

You can expect our starting corp that you've seen all season to start this game vs. the Eagles, in Philly! It will be good for Dak to play in this environment, but there is no need for him to play the whole game. Mark Sanchez is expected to play QB, yes, he is on our team. And the weirdest part is, we've heard over and over that Romo won't play this week... then last night I had a dream that Romo was going to play Sunday... and I woke up to an ESPN alert at 7:13 AM today saying that Romo will get a few snaps Sunday. Kind of crazy! But it will make for a very interesting game!! 

Here is the Playoff picture... I may have planned a ski trip around these games. I can't stand being out of the city while they're playing in the Playoffs!

GO MAVS!!! 10-23 (wins - losses)

The Mavs came off of an all time low against the Houston Rockets Tuesday night, to come back and beat the LA Lakers Thursday night, 101-89. 

Matthews had 20 points, Robinson had 10 rebounds and D. Will had 11 assists. 

Despite only having 10 wins, they are actually fun to watch! I like the players we have, we just need them all to be on at the same time. Play Defense. And don't play dirty! It's not our style.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Is anyone else annoyed that players are sitting out Bowl games because they don't want to get injured? Maybe that's just me? 

A lot of games have been played and more are being played... here's the schedule and a link to the rest of the dates and times!

The CFB CHAMPIONSHIP Game is on Monday, January 9th at 7 PM (aka, I have plans that night). 


Random Info:
What is your word for the year? 

You can make a list of things to do differently or better in 2017... 

~ eat clean
~ exercise more
~ cut out high fructose corn syrup
~ get more sleep
~ smile more
~ laugh more
~ get out of debt
~ go to the Super Bowl (directly off-sets "get out of debt")
~ work with purpose
~ love people well
~ not have any medical procedures

But one powerful thing you can do is choose a word for the year... 

Humility
Joy
Hope
Faithful
Family
Surrender
Patience

I'm not sure what my word is yet, but I know that it has been helpful to have a reminder of what is truly important in life. More than just tangible items or goals.

Sadly, the resolutions we set for the year may or may not be accomplished... but last year, the word I chose was a steady reminder of where my hope is and who I believe in to change my life and my circumstances. God is faithful, and I am looking forward to every day I am given in 2017. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

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!

Over-reaction Monday Week 8

GO COWBOYS!!! Cowboys lose to the Detroit Lions... 30-31 This game was a bit crazy. If you ever wanted to know about football, all it entails and how crazy people are for watching it and loving it... this a great game to watch!  Bottom line...  ~ Detroit Defense - they did a great job stopping our offense. Passing and running. They held Tony Romo (our QB) to 206 yards, which 110 of those were on 2 TD passes. And they held Joseph Randal (our RB) to 14 carries for 26 yards. ( aka... not good ) Ndamukong Suh - Defensive Tackle for the Lions, is a crazy man. Literally. He had his D ready today.  ~ Matthew Stafford - Detroit's QB that is from Highland Park, played for UGA. He played well... The kid threw for 488 yards and had a very sneaky TD at the end of the game to win it for the Lions. Detroit's Offense completed 29 1st downs vs. Dallas' 13 1st downs. ( there are 4 downs in football... which means you have 4 chances to get the ball 10 yards, running or ...

Week 2: New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ UNT beat Arkansas ~ Scooter Magruder

GO Cowboys!!! 0-1 (wins ~ losses) New York Giants vs. Dallas Cowboys ( away team ~ home team ) Sunday, September 16 @ 7:20 PM CST on NBC If you watched the game last week, where we lost to the Carolina Panthers, you have most likely decided to stop watching the rest of the season. It was a rough game. And it makes a lot of people think that first string players should get more reps during pre-season games so your Week 1 game isn't a scrimmage. So, during the " scrimmage ," that was a regular season game, Dak matched Cam Newton ( Carolina's QB ) in passing yards and was pretty close in accuracy. So where did Carolina win? Aside from wearing out our Defense... Newton had 13 carries for 58 rushing yards, allowing him to score one of their two TD's ( touchdowns ). Zeke ( our RB, running back ) had 15 carries for 69 rushing yards and one TD. Carolina out played us in the run game because they're not afraid to allow their QB to run. They converted more 1st ...
