COWBOYS 5-3 (wins-losses)
Sunday, November 12th
Dallas Cowboys vs. Atlanta Falcons (home team is second)
3:25 PM CST on FOX

The Cowboys are going to Atalanta on Sunday. 

They are coming off three straight wins against the 49ers, Redskins and Chiefs.

Can we beat the Falcons? 

Matt Ryan and team? The guys who lost to Tom Brady in the Super Bowl last year? 

Well, as much as I like Matt Ryan, and his team. I don't think they will beat the Cowboys. 

Comparison... play by play... 

Matt Ryan (their QB) has thrown for more yards (2,157 vs. 1,181), but Dak (our QB) has more TD passes (4 vs. 1).  

Elliott (our hopefully not suspended yet RB) can out-run Freeman (their RB), any day.

Julio Jones (their #1 WR) has 5 more receptions than Dez (our #1ish WR), and has 219 more yards. Now that is productivity!! But, if you're a fantasy owner, or any real team owner, you want the guy to score TD's. That is where Atlanta isn't the same as last year. They have the yards, but they are not converting (scoring on their drives - a drive is when they move the ball down the field, first down, after first down, then TOUCHDOWN - that's the goal). Advantage Cowboys.

Dallas' D - this was one of my best BYE week pickups in fantasy! If they're still available in your league(s) - get them! I don't see these guys slowing down, even with injuries plaguing them. It's like Rod Marinelli light a fire under these guys. I like what I see. And I see them shutting down Matt Ryan and his passing game. 

The main risk for the Cowboys is if Elliott doesn't play. His back-ups are Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden. Between these two guys, we should be able to take on the Atlanta D, ranked 18th in the league against the run. 

If Dak can continue to keep Beasley, Witten and Williams involved... we will be in position to out-score the 2nd place team from last year! Block, Witten, Block!
Cowboys WIN, 28-17
GO COWBOYS!!!

**Check your phone Thursday evening to see if Elliott will play. Or sign up for ESPN Cowboys Suspension alerts. No, there's no such thing, but their should be.

GO MAVS!!! 2-10 (wins - losses)
After six losses... we WON a game!! 

We beat the Washington Wizards 113-99! 

Harrison Barnes had 31 points and 9 rebounds. Dennis Smith Jr. had 22 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists and another intense slam dunk. I've got to go see this kid play!! 

Here's the upcoming schedule! If you find yourself in Dallas around the holidays, it's fun to go to a basketball game during this time! They make things festive!! Or you could hit up a Stars game... they're all at the AAC.


Random Info
I hadn't watched this movie in a while... Serendipity. 

I don't agree with the entire theory, but the movie has a lot of great scenes of New York City and Central Park. One of my favorite places on earth.

If you haven't been to NYC in a long time or ever, go. Don't be afraid of the city! Just go and enjoy the vastness that it is! 

I highly recommend the Fall/early Winter or Spring. The Summer, in the city, can be brutal. It is a concrete island.

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,
