Ryder  Cup Theres only one day left of the Ryder Cup! Set your DVR and make sure to watch this historic tournament! Hoping the USA can catch up and get the W! Right now, EU is leading 10-6. We need 8 points to win! The USA players who played well on Saturday are, Justin Thomas (JT), Jordan Spieth, Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson. Who needs to play better and earn a point or two??? Woods, DeChambeau, Dustin Johnson (DJ), and Koepka. JT and Speith beat Ian Poulter, who was on fire earlier Saturday! Then Spieth helped win the second round, with a little chest pump to help the USA get to 6 points. Europe had two superstars, Tommy Fleetwood and Francesco Molinari. They dominated, even with Fleetwood being a rookie in the Ryder Cup. But he has shot two of the lowest rounds of golf during regular tournament play, so we shouldn't be shocked he stepped it up during this epic battle between countries. www.rydercup.com View this link or download the Ryder Cup app to keep up with t

Ryder Cup This is it! The Olympics of golf! Except that now golf is in the Olympics. So, what I mean is... US golfers vs. the World! Our team this year includes every golfer you've ever cheered for! A lot of the same guys from 2016, when they won one of the best matches in the tournaments history!! photo from rydercup.com Here's a video to remind of you of how great the Ryder Cup was in 2016 . The schedule is below, know what the Cup is won as soon as the US or Europe gets to 14 1/2 points (out of 28 available points). You get points through various forms of match play, but basically, you have to win the hole. If it's a par 4 and the team from Europe shoots par and the team from the US birdies, we get 1 point. If both teams par, each team gets half of a point. And so on. To read more about the formats, check it out here . In the history of the Ryder Cup, Phil Mickelson has played in 45 matches, Tiger has played in 33. It's crazy to know that both of th

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

GO Cowboys!!! Dallas Cowboys vs. Carolina Panthers ( away team ~ home team ) Sunday, September 9 @ 3:25 PM CST Wow! A lot has happened between a few pre-season losses and the week before the Season Opener in Carolina. There may be more than this, but here's what I've read/seen/heard. I'm just a girl with a day job... no insider info here ( oh, but one day )? We're starting with the most shocking news to the least shocking news... 1. Dan Bailey . Yes, my friend just bought his jersey last year, and he's SHOCKINGLY not a Cowboy anymore. This is our Ace kicker, second most accurate kicker in the entire NFL. He had a groin injury last year and was not as accurate when he came back from it. However, it's hard to believe he's THAT bad? If you're still sad about the decision made by the Cowboys Coaches/GM, here are a couple of articles that will empathize with you. There was a kicking competition?
