In a Monday NFL Style

A Monday from now the talk to swirl around town will be the outcome of the Dallas Cowboys' first game of the 2009 season the day before.

The questions of :
How did Tony Romo fare withOUT Jessica Simpson or T.O. Owens?
Did Felix The Cat Jones pick up where he left off prior to injury?
Did Roy Williams prove WHY the Dallas Cowboy traded for him from Detroit?
Did the Cowboys claim victory?
Should be answered.

In a Monday, we'll know.

As for this Monday, it's Labor Day. And this is about the most labor I'll do--except to remember a once upon a time moment for the Dallas Cowboys.

In a Monday, the road to the same want to be moment like in 1993 will have started again-

First and ten. Almost here. I'll still get my popcorn ready!

Ta-Ta to T.O.

The Dallas Cowboys cut Terrell Owens.

I realize I may be part of the minority on this one, but my take is...

The Dallas Cowboys cut the wrong guy.

They shoulda cut Jerry Jones.

Terrell Owens wasn't my favorite player, however he did his job.

I can respect that.

Terrell Owens didn't say, like a 67 Million Dollar QB who dates a Hollywood wanna-be, that it was just a sporting event.

With Michael Irving, back in the glory days-was he a whole lot different?

So now what? Terrell Owens was not the problem on that team.

He spoke his mind. Enough media caught that speaking on tape, and tried to change our minds with it.

Jerry Jones loves this team so much, I hate what he's done with it.

Jimmy Johnson would have left eventually, yet we all shake our heads and wonder, "What if...?

Jerry Jones should make nice with Jimmy Jones and hire him as GM

In the meantime, we all will deal with how Dallas Cowboys cut the wrong guy.

Terrell, we hardly knew ye. You'll get your Lombardi Trophy--just not with the Dallas Cowboys

And accept my apology for Jerry Jones.

Back To Dallas Cowboys NOT in Super Bowl XLIII

Quarterback Tony Romo wants to be more of a leader next season.
Hmm.
Really?

And remind me the teams in this year's Super Bowl.....?

Words are good.
Actions are paramount.
Now back to the thoughts of my personal goals for next season.
History.

December 28, 1998 was a Monday

I had a book signing that night. Yep, in my Iowa hometown's library. One of my BEST nights ever. Class members, plus their parents and friends of my family turned out for it. I felt like Cinderella. I've had alot of good days since then, yet there was something about that night. Special really. Felt so good and right to talk about my written words. To autograph books for everyone. Back then, I just didn't sign my name, I pretty much wrote a novella to that person. A personal touch, I guess.

I'd self published my book in September 1998. The first and only book I've written. A story that nawed at my heart, and still does. The story idea is great, but the way it was written then--could be so much better. At the time, I needed to get it down. To get it in people's hands. I'd sent out query letters for possible publication. Had two bites to see the completed manuscript. Both turned me down, although one publisher gave me 40 minutes of his time, on the phone, how to improve the story. I still remember to this day. And then I've learned so much as a writer over this time.

In fact, I've started a re-do about 3 times and quit. I actually did quit writing altogether after the book came out. I'd sent my book to a site for a review and be featured on their site. Oh man...the guy tore it shreds. I felt like a failure. Ever wrote that in my journal "I am a failure. I cannot write." Wrote nothing else--except in my diaries--for a few years. I didn't even think about writing. Didn't want to. Ignored the question, "What have you written lately?"

Ten years have passed. Alot has happened, because it had too. Today I enjoy writing fiction short stories. Query to have them published. But to my one and only book--it still is in my home town's library. Heck, I still have a few in my closet. Quit selling them long ago. Will I write another book? Sure. When the time is write. Not my time, but God's time.

Eventhough it was great I wrote the book--and I Google the title and my name. There are used copies on sites, that I don't recognize the language. HOW did it get there? Especially the SIGNED copies? I digress. I am proud I wrote the book when I did. God was with me, yet I pushed it through at times. I wasn't patient. I learned alot and lost alot of money. I had no plan. To self publish, you a plan A thru at least T is needed. All in all, I wasn't ready.

He's making me ready now.

OK-so now we have....

the Dallas Cowboys..*sigh* .They are behind the Philadelphia Eagles 41-3 and the game isn't over yet! Nobody saw it coming THIS bad. The Cowboys had to win to be in the play-offs. Former Cowboy QB Hall of Fame Troy Aikman is calling the game. I wonder his thoughts. If he wishes he were still part of the fray. Yes, it's why the game is played, yet the Dallas Cowboys didn't quite play it well enough. December 28, 2008 will end their season. Let the finger points begin. Uh, who threw those interceptions?

My night in 1998 was more fun. I am blessed.

Halftime With Deion Prime Time Sanders

....right now on the NFL Network. The Dallas Cowboys trail 9-7, in the last regular ever to be played game in Texas Stadium--which is about 10 minutes away from my door. Since I really don't catch the NFL Network, unless the Cowboys play--like now, I was clueless Neon Deion was part of the team in the booth.

I know now.

Sure, Deion played for the Cowboys. He also did some chuckle ha-ha pizza commercials with owner and commander in chief, Jerry Jones, during his tenure here. And I admit, I watched some of his and wife Pilar's reality show, "Prime Time Love."

Still not much of an admirer, except Deion is built quite nice.

I digress. For the second half, when the Dallas Cowboys mount their come back as Tony Romo and TO Owens finally click on all sx cylinders, and DeMarcus Ware continues he's mow down of Ravens' QB Flacco, and Flozell Adams doesn't false start, I'll have Deion, Marshall Faulk (PLEASE help this man find another job QUICK!) and company, turned down and The Voice of the Cowboys aka Brad Scham and Babe Laufenberg turned up on my radio.

Go 'BOYZ!
