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...

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 ...

Over-reaction Monday Week 9 ~ MAVS

GO COWBOYS!!! Dallas beat the Minnesota Vikings 23-27! Yaya! We are now 5-4 (Wins -Losses) ! Whew. If you've watched most of the games this season, or any season - you'll know that almost all of them come down to the last few minutes of the 4th quarter. That's just part of sports.  Here are the few "over-reaction" stats you'll need for tomorrow...  ~ Adrian Peterson ( Vikings RB ) - He did what he always does. Run over the defense. He is from TX and had over 80+ fans at the game cheering for him. He also lost his son a few weeks ago to a tragic accident. He looked like he was playing with more heart today than in the past few weeks, but our D held them overall. He did have a spectacular TD run... he is an amazing athlete!  ~ Tony Romo (our QB) - threw the ball 51 times. That is a lot! He only completed 34 of those passes. What does that mean? Well, it means he did well with what he has. He spread the ball between all WR ( Wide Receiver ) options, had ...
