Week 9: Kansas City Chiefs vs. Dallas Cowboys ~ MAVS ~ Brad

COWBOYS 4-3 (wins-losses)
Sunday, November 5th
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Dallas Cowboys (home team is second)
3:25 PM CST on CBS

What is the #1 question everyone wants to know??? 

Is Ezekiel Elliott playing on Sunday? 

As of Friday morning, yes

I was walking to a meeting at work this morning, and a guy on my team starts talking about the ESPN update he just got saying Zeke was playing (my phone was on silent), so, I update my fantasy football roster, as I continue to walk to my meeting. 

A day in the life of a Fantasy Owner. It's takes effort to keep up. Can I get an Amen! 

What is the second question everyone wants to know this week? 

Who is Alex Smith?? Who is Kareem Hunt? 

Nope. 

Is Tony Romo really calling the Cowboys game Sunday? 

The answer is yes. It will be his first time at a Cowboys game, in Dallas, since last season.

Most people love listening to him call the games this year because of his ability to predict plays and dissect the game! 

For those of us who have never, and will never, be a part of an NFL team... watch game film, run routes, call plays... Romo gives every viewer a front row seat to what it WOULD be like to be that close to the game! I trust he won't give away all of our secrets on Sunday, but it will be fun to hear his commentary! I think he's doing a great job! 


Who are the Cowboys playing this week? 

Well, it says above it's the Kansas City Chiefs.

Kansas has an NFL team? Nope, Missouri has an NFL team. Kansas City overlaps into Missouri, that is where Arrowhead Stadium is. 

This is why Kansas relies so heavily on their Jayhawks to win the Big Dance every year (college basketball)... It's all they have! Just kidding, they're Chiefs fans too. 

The Chiefs... 

Alex Smith. Their QB. I like this guy. I feel like he's a great QB, and has a good head on his shoulders. He has passed for over 2k yards this year, and is ranked 2nd in the NFL behind Tom Brady. 

Who are his go to guys? 

He will "feed" Kareem Hunt all day! This is their star RB, same position as Ezekiel Elliott. He ranks 1st in the NFL in rushing yards, 763. Elliott ranks 3rd, with 690 yards. I have Hunt in one of my fantasy leagues (if you can make a trade in your league to get this guy - it would be worth it - they should make it to the playoffs - they are 6-2).

Who does Smith like to pass to? Everyone. Especially Travis Kelce, their TE (tight end), and Tyreek Hill, their star WR (wide receiver).

Defense... Eric Berry was their star Safety. He got injured in the first game of the season vs. the Patriots. Without Berry, they are not doing so well. They are ranked 29th against the pass and 28th against the run. Advantage Cowboys. 

The Cowboys... 

We have Dak (our QB). We have Zeke (our RB). We got Terrance Williams (one of our WR's) a little more involved last week, which will be good if Cole Beasley can't play this week (he is being monitored for a concussion). 

Dez? Witten? We need these guys this week! 

Alex Smith is able to out-score us. 

Kareem Hunt will try to out-run us. 

Kelce and Hill will try to out-smart us. 

BUT, our Dallas D, as thin as our roster is this year, we've held it together quite nicely. In our game last week, vs. the Washington Redskins, we held them to 19 points, 263 passing yards, 49 rushing yards and one fumble for a TD. 

If our Dallas D can do to Alex Smith and Hunt what they did to the Redskins, we have a chance to win this game! Dak can't turn the ball over, and Zeke has to beat Hunt at his own game. Our O-Line blocked like crazy last week and can do it again! 

Everyone, I mean Everyone, is picking KC to win. 

But I'm not everyone.

Cowboys WIN, but it's close, 24-22
GO COWBOYS!!!

GO MAVS!!! 1-9 (wins - losses)
Have I mentioned Dennis Smith Jr. yet? 

Yeah, he's still doing well, and is super fun to watch!

Harrison Barnes is still killing it! He is averaging 16.3 PPG and 6.1 rebounds. 

We've lost five games straight, and three of those games had a margin loss of less than 5 points. 

There's potential there, but we're not getting the W. 

My advice, go to a game! It's got to be way more fun in person. 

Watch Dennis Smith Jr. do another crazy dunk.

Random Info
I still have cable. I need access to live sports. If anyone knows a good way around this, let me know. 

Until then, I occasionally hear commercials... and there is one commercial in particular that bothers me... 

Liberty Mutual. 

The one where the girl has a car, and she names it Brad. 

What? 

Who names their car Brad? 

No one names their car Brad. 

I've heard of Rusty, Lightning, Sunshine, or Eleanor, but not Brad. 

That's like naming your car Mike or Terry. 

I guess marketing works, because every time I hear that commercial come on - I dash to the remote to flip to ESPN 2, if I was on regular ESPN (or the Hallmark Channel, but who would admit that). Whew... didn't have to hear her call her car Brad again. 

Why does this bother me? 

No clue. I am weird. 

Other commercials make me cry. Ha!

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,
