Week 9: Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants ~ Dallas Mavs and Luka ~ Daylight Savings Time

GO COWBOYS!!! 4-3 (wins-losses)
Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants (away vs. home)
Monday, November 4th @ 7:15 PM CST

Bye, bye, bye. 

The Bye week is over. And we wake-up to Week 9 in the NFL.

What happened since we last played a game? 

~ Baker Mayfield is still yapping his mouth and acting foolish. 
~ We missed getting Adams from the Jets, but we did pick up Bennett from the Patriots. Not the Tight End, but the brother, who is a Defensive Tackle.
~ Vander Esch is still injured and is day-by-day.
~ The 49ers are still undefeated, with the Patriots old back-up QB as their starting QB. Annoying. 
~ The Patriots Defense has gotten me 185 points in Fantasy Football, I'll take it.
~ The Washington Nationals won the World Series!!! They started their season 19-31 (wins-losses) and made it all the way. The only team in any professional sport to win all 4 games on the road. Life Lesson: don't give up! Contracts to them!!

Do you know who is still on the list of teams who do not have a title? (tear
The Rangers. 

The New York Giants, round 2. 

We destroyed the Giants in Week 1, 17-35. So, what will be different in Week 9 vs. Week 1? 

1. We played Eli Manning in Week 1. The Giants now have their rookie, Daniel Jones, at QB. He's not afraid to go after the Defense and there isn't a lot of tape on him this year. He can throw and run, but having Michael Bennett will be helpful! Our Defense will need to stay one step ahead. 

2. We're playing in NYC as opposed to Dallas. 

3. We're playing on MNF (Monday Night Football), which is a big deal and these NFL players don't like to lose in front of that large of an audience.

4.  Zeke has gotten Cabo out of his system and looks like he's ready to have a 100+ yard game. 

5. Everyone on the Cowboys team should be rested after their week off. 

Now, my Dad and I went to an event, during the BYE week, for Arms of Hope. It's a wonderful organization that helps single moms and families have a home to live in, food, place to get work and get back on their feet. Tears hearing the stories of the difficulty some of these women and children have gone through in their lives. But who was there to cheer them up? Jaylon Smith and Darren Woodson. It was supposed to be Vander Esch, but with his neck injury, it provided the opportunity for Woodson to be there, which was awesome. He gave Smith a hard time about how different the game was in the 90's and how important it is to stay focused on life after the game too. Here are a few photos. I highly encourage you to checkout Arms of Hope. Maybe it could be helpful for you or a friend of yours? Or would be a great place to donate to or volunteer at. We're all in this life together. None should ever be alone!! 




Should we win this week? Of course. Will we? Yes, but not by much.

GO COWBOYS!
Cowboys 28 ~ Giants 21

GO MAVS!!! 3-2 (wins ~ losses)
Luka!!!!!!

That's all. All season long, you're going to hear that name. 

The season started a couple of weeks ago and we're already in Luka highlight mode. 

Here are a few clips from his game vs. the Lakers, aka, LeBron James. 

We ALMOST won in OT (overtime). We'll get them next time. 

He did have to have stitches in his head, but he will be fine. They had Saturday off, so hopefully that helped? 

Also, if you missed it, Dirk had a street named after him. This guy doesn't ever need to leave Dallas. We love him here and will always be thankful to him for helping bring a Championship here. (Yo, Rangers, any day now... I hear Gerrit Cole is a free agent).

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...

Dallas Mavs ~ Texas Rangers ~ Thoughts on the Super Bowl ~ Dallas is Freezing

Dallas  Mavericks 13-14 (wins-losses) I feel like we've been on a rollercoaster with the Mavs, but I like the direction we're going now. As for how NBA and NFL players feel about our cold weather... that's a funnier story. The Mavs longest stretch of losses was six games in mid-January. It was not fun and the team looked confused as to why they couldn't pull out a win.  A few guys have been out, off and on, due to illness or injury, but now they're all back and are rolling. Especially Kristaps Porzingis .  They keep joking that he's playing how he did back in September 2020 when they were in the NBA bubble, before his knee injury. Now that he has healed and is playing more minutes per game, he has been on fire! To see a 7'3" guy drain 3 pointers like he does is amazing. I mean, if he raises his arms, they're already above the rim, so he just has to put the right arc on it and swish. So cool!  His stats vs. the Pelicans in Friday night's victory:...

Rangers lose Game 1

GO RANGERS!!! Rangers lose to the Kansas City Royals, 2-1. Their pitching was spectacular. Our pitching wasn't too bad, but yet again, we couldn't hit against Santana! (that was KC's pitcher) The Rangers are 7 games behind Oakland to win the Division. Clearly we probably won't catch up to them, but we can still get a Wild Card spot if they ever start winning consistently!  Game 2 in KC is tomorrow night - Matt Garza is pitching for the Rangers!  Cheer Loudly!  GO COWBOYS!!! 12:00 PM - this Sunday - St. Louis Rams vs Dallas Cowboys.  Enjoy your family, friends and some football!!! :) "Day of Rest" Random Info: The two teams who have already secured a spot in the Playoffs are:  ~ Boston Red Sox (we used to have Mike Napoli  - he is a great Home Run hitter and now plays for Boston... his beard fits in perfectly there)  ~ LA Dodgers (We like their Manager - Don Mattingly  - he used to play for the NY Yankees back in the day!)  ...
