Super Bowl XLV

David — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 14:48:33 +0000

Although I am not a fan of either the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Green Bay Packers I will still be tuned into the Super Bowl. Hopefully it will be a good game and the Packers will come out on top. As a die hard Dallas Cowboy fan I just can’t imagine a situation where I would root for the Steelers, lol.

My pick Green Bay Packers over the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-24

Game Time – Sunday, February 6, 2011 – 6:30pm ET on FOX

Emmitt Smith Enters the NFL Hall of Fame

David — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 15:01:25 +0000

Emmitt Smith is the last of the “Dallas Cowboys Triplets” to enter the Hall of Fame, following Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin.

What a legacy those three left behind. Not sure we will ever see three players on one team dominate like they did.

Emmitt was and is a class act. Remember, he was too small to play in the NFL, lol. Someone just forgot to tell him about that.

Super Bowl XLIV

David — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:14:32 +0000

I have not looked forward to a Super Bowl this much in a long time. Yes, since the last time the Dallas Cowboys were in it.

This is awesome, the New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl. It has been a long, long wait for the the NOLA fans. But it is even sweeter now since the devastation of Katrina.

The Saints are obviously playing great this year, I just hope they realize how tough the Indianapolis Colts can be, especially that Peyton Manning fellow, which they should know well since he grew up in New Orleans.

Go Saints ! Who Dat Nation!

Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football

David — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 21:02:36 +0000

Talk about a love hate relationship, me and watching the Cowboys. I was raised a Cowboy fan, and I despised Jerry Jones when he fired the beloved Tom Landry, but I could not stop being a Cowboy fan. And now long after the Jimmy Johnson era I still have to root for Dallas.

So here we are, a couple years into the Tony Romo era, and things are not going exactly the way we would like, oh yeah, we got the stadium of stadiums to play in, but if we can’t win games, who cares.

Brett Favre Retires

David — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 16:17:32 +0000

After 17 years Brett Favre retires, no really. I hate to say it, but the first thing that comes to my mind is that I am old. I clearly remember when Brett Favre came into the NFL as an Atlanta Falcon. And think about that, after one year in Atlanta they traded Brett Favre to the Green Bay Packers for a 17th round pick, can you say OOPS.

Being a Dallas Cowboy fan it is pretty obvious that I am not a Green Bay Packer fan, however, if there is one guy I really respect in Pro sports, it is Brett Favre. He does not always make the perfect play, and he never seemed to be the ultimate example of a NFL Quarterback, but he always gets the job done.

With all the comparisons being made from Tony Romo to Brett Favre I can only hope they materialize. If Romo can be half the quarterback Favre was, we have something to look forward to.

Good luck Brett with whatever you do in the future, and thanks for all the exciting football you gave the fans!

We will certainly see you in the Football Hall of Fame real soon.

Football questions this week.

David — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 17:59:34 +0000

1.) Can the Colts offense get past the Bears defense?

2.) Can the Bears offense get past themselves?

3.) Is Norv Turner the next Dallas Cowboys Head Coach?

4.) Did Jerry Jones really consider Wade Phillips as a possible candidate?

Romo leads the Cowboys home

David — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 02:31:50 +0000

Well that didn’t last long. With one play Tony Romo showed the Dallas Cowboys where the exit was at Qwest Stadium.

Hard to be real upset with him, he was the main reason the Cowboys made it to the playoffs, and I know I would not want to go through the next 6 months like him thinking about that one play that he was 100% responsible for.

Go New Orleans Saints !

Dallas Cowboys clinch Playoff berth !

David — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 15:04:10 +0000

Thanks to Tony Romo and Marion Barber III I have a reason to watch NFL football for the rest of the year (while I wait for Nascar to start up again!). Although I will admit that I would keep watching the New Orleans Saints too !

Being a Drew Bledsoe fan the move to Romo was hard to watch at first, but, this kid looks like the real deal. And Marion Barber has certainly been playing at a top notch level.

Go Dallas Cowboys !

Cowboys sign Williams

David — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 23:32:00 +0000

The Dallas Cowboys signed Roy Williams to an extension, and that is good news. But, if you read between the lines you will see the bad news. America’s Team is in some real trouble on the marketing (players) front.

“He probably is the second-most visible player we’ve got on this team right now, Terrell (Owens) being the first,” Cowboys owner-general manager Jerry Jones said of Williams after the morning practice in Oxnard, Calif. “Roy through his play brings leadership and basically will be one of the main signatures on our defense.” – Jerry Jones

Oh boy, if Terrell Owens is the most visible player, let’s just change the name from the Cowboys to the Dallas SelfishThugs.

How bout them boys, what a slide in 10 years. This is worse than the last slide when the starting QB and Punter were the same guy, and he wasn’t that good at either position.

Ready for some Football

David — Sun, 30 Jul 2006 01:59:00 +0000

It’s that time again. NFL Training Camps are up and running, draft picks are holding out. Old timers are trying to find that new team to help ignite their career one more time.The Top 10 from Draft day are certainly under the microscope, that is, if they showed up to Training Camp yet.

1. Houston – Mario Williams, DE North Carolina State
2. New Orleans – Reggie Bush, RB USC
3. Tennessee – Vince Young, QB Texas
4. N.Y. Jets – D’Brickashaw Ferguson, OT Virginia
5. Green Bay – A.J. Hawk, LB Ohio State
6. San Francisco – Vernon Davis, TE Maryland
7. Oakland – Michael Huff, DB Texas
8. Buffalo – Donte Whitner, S Ohio State
9. Detroit – Ernie Sims, LB Florida State
10. Arizona – Matt Leinart, QB USC

And of course my personal favorite this year is going to see how Terrell Owens does in Dallas. Being an old Cowboys fan this really hurts. It is going to be very hard to cheer for him no matter how good he does.

Super Bowl, Winter Olympics and NASCAR

David — Mon, 06 Feb 2006 17:58:00 +0000

Although I did not have a favorite in the Super Bowl, I guess I was rooting for Seattle. However, I am happy to see the Steelers get their victory and Jerome Bettis be able to retire at the top. Pretty ironic seeing how I am a diehard Cowboy fan. Oh well, football is not what it used to be, at least for me.

Now we get on to the start of my favorite sport, Nascar !!

And to fill in some of the missing schedule we have the Winter Olympics to watch. And yes in our house the women’s Figure Skating is the event of all events to watch. If you need some Figure Skating links check out our list at Danielle’s web site.

Back to Work

David — Tue, 03 Jan 2006 16:57:00 +0000

Finally back to work today. I have been off since last Wednseday, and I was ready to come back to work. Vacation and Holidays always sound great, but, after a few days I am always ready to get back to my regular schedule. I know, I must be sick or something. I really enjoy my work and look forward to each day in the office. Oh yeah, I have those days where I am tired of it, but, for the most part I really like it.

The NFL season is over and my beloved Dallas Cowboys missed the playoffs again. I guess I will watch the Rose Bowl and root for the Texas Longhorns and then patiently (yeah right) wait for the Nascar season to get started. Depending on the games I may even take in some of the NFL playoffs and SuperBowl.

Happy Thanksgiving

David — Wed, 23 Nov 2005 15:43:00 +0000

Happy Thanksgiving. This is one of my favorite Holidays, although I am known as somewhat of a scrooge for most Holidays.

Thanksgiving is always a time of personal and family reflection, along with great food and football. This years trip to the in-laws will be a little hard for us. My father in-law passed away a month ago and this will be our first holiday without him.

I always look forward to the drive. In 18 years of marriage I have become spoiled on road trips. My wife likes to drive and let me just ride along playing on my laptop. Over the years I have done some of my best programming in a car.

Then upon arrival there is all this food and football. And being a Dallas Cowboys fan has a real benefit on Thanksgiving day as they are a perennial favorite for Thanksgiving day games.

Professional Sports

David — Wed, 02 Nov 2005 20:49:00 +0000

As a kid growing up I was a major NFL Football fan. My beloved Dallas Cowboys were as close to my heart as anything else in life. Over the years I never missed a game. In 1997 when I moved to Mississippi I purchased Direct TV for the sole purpose of getting all the Cowboy games.

I began loosing interest in Professional sports in 2000. With free agency in football the loyalty issue was lost. No longer was a player a part of a team for years. Roger Staubach was a Dallas Cowboy, Troy Aikman was a Dallas Cowboy, Emmitt Smith, well that was it. I lost interest when Emmitt went to play for the Cardinals.

In February of 2001 I just happened to catch the Daytona 500. I had always been a fan of racing and Nascar, although I did not pay as close attention as I had to the NFL or NBA. Since that race I have not missed a Nascar race. I stopped watching the NBA except for the playoffs or an occasional San Antonio Spurs game.

Now I find myself at the crossroads of November. Nascar has 2 races left, the NFL is in full swing, and the NBA is starting their season. I started playing in Fantasy leagues about a year ago and this has spurred a little interest in the games again.

So I guess I will start watching my Cowboys again when possible, and I am sure I can get a few Spurs games on National broadcasts since they are the reigning Champions. If I can just get past the “thug” appeal of the players, I might actually enjoy some games.
