Thursday Pops!

Hey, the National Football League season starts tonight! My team, the Dallas Cowboys, don't kick off until Sunday night. So tonight's game, between the Packers and the Saints, is well, a warm up game for me. I just love me some football..

And to go along with that football, I got my popcorn ready. I didn't make it. Not this time anyway. I stopped at a gourmet popcorn and candy store called Yummi Pop. I'd read about them in the a suburb news paper and turns out Yummi Pop is just a couple minutes from my job. It's run by two ladies, I think they're sisters and been open for a year. The cool thing is, they let you sample popcorn before you buy. Just to give you an example, I bought Dill Pickle for a chum of mine, and for me? Loaded Baked Potato. Kid you not! These ladies know their corn!

So on this first night of NFL football 2011, got my popcornm a cat to pet and it's First Down and a million yards to go.

Gotta love it and I do!

Sunday is Super...Indeed!

Congrats to our Super Bowl Champs: the New Orleans Saints!

They rolled down Peyton and his Indianapolis Colts 31-17 and ya gotta love it!

With all the City of New Orleans has endured and still rebuilds from Katrina--

For the Saints to win seemed to fit just right! And I'm sure former Dallas Cowboy coach staffer, and now Head Coach of the Saints, aka Sean Payton never had Gatorade taste SO good!

And Who Dat has that Lombardi Trophy???

Congrats New Orleans!

Sunday is Super

OK--so the Dallas Cowboys aren't playing in this year's Super Bowl. However 2011's game could be considered a Home Game for da Boy and will , be played about 15 miles from me. Hey, I can put my prayer in early! As I script this, the game hasn't started yet. I decided to cheer for the Saints. After all the City of New Orleans has been thru and continues to go thru, I'd like to see the Saints hoist a Lombardi Trophy.

So, no Dallas Cowboys today, but a Dallas Cowboy is headed to Canton and the Hall of Fame:Emmitt Smith aka Dancing With the Stars Champ. The RB who broke the late, great Chicago Bear Walter 'Sweetness' Payton's all time rushing record, will join teammates Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin. These teammates were known as The Triplets.

Won three Super Bowls in the 90's. Shoulda been at least four. I admit, I'm still bitter about Jimmy Johnson's exit--although it is in the long ago past. Where did the time go? Seems like yesterday I was at Super Bowl parties to root da Boyz onto victory. I remember at one party I smoked a cigar...don't ask.

Any way, I gotta get set to watch the game. And I'll smile as I recall Triplets leading the way--and come August, they'll be together again. Congrats, Emmitt!

GO Saints!

Tis the Season

For Miracles.

Told my chums I thought the Dallas Cowboys could beat the undeafed New Orleans Saints. I admit, earlier today, for a moment or two, I thought the Cowboys wouldn't be able to pull off a victory.

And they did--at the Superdome. First time in 15 years.

Even when soon to be ex-kicker Nick Folk missed a sure-thing icing on the cake kick at the end.

Last week, DeMarcus Ware was carried off the field. . Strapped to a cart. Scary. Unsure of his condition.

Tonight, DeMarcus played-tough. Just like bright stars do.

Yep, Tis the Season

And glad got my head back together before game's commenece...

GO COWBOYS!
