The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, The Dallas Cowboys

What Happened to the Dallas Cowboys that went into East Rutherford, who soundly defeated the Defending World Champion New York Giants in Week 1?

— In Week two, we had the sloppy Cowboys show up in Seattle, losing 27-7, than in week 3, while getting a victory, their offense wasn’t as impressive as it could have been as they only had flashes of greatness, winning 16-10 vs, theTampa Bay Buccaneers. Week 4 features another home-game on Monday Night vs.Chicago, the last-home game before starting another two game road trip for the Cowboys.

— Chicago, much like Dallas’s offensive line isn’t their number one strength, both defenses are solid, both quarterbacks are Pro-Bowl worthy, so if you look at that way, on paper the two would seemingly match up equally together, because they are playing at home in Jerry-World, some might give them an advantage due to that fact alone, but crowds, (yes, home-crowds, too) can’t win you the game, as they can only give you self-confidence momentum boosters throughout the game, and with 80,000 +, sometimes, that’s all it takes. Chicago Bears quarterback, Jay Cutler, will have to watch out for the Cowboy defense, as DeMarcus Ware could have a standout game, taking advantage of one of the league’s more vulnerable Offensive-line’s in Chicago, and if Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo can have a solid field-day, with an effective Dallas running-game, this one should be a Dallas victory, but you don’t win with “If”s” in Sports, especially in Pro Football, which leads to the next point.
That’s the case for Week Two’s trash game at Seattle, after the impressive road victory in week one at the Giants, it was all about “If”s”, and the part where you have actually have to make the things happen in Pro Sports is what bit the Cowboy’s in the butt in a nasty week two game, that should stopped being talked about in this column, now. If the Cowboys squeeze out another ugly victory, this time vs. the Bears, it could be another one of those year’s for Dallas, you know, those years, all over again.

Birdville has yet to be tested in district play.. (BLOG-POST)

After Three Games of District Play, the Birdville Hawks have won all three, dominating every-one, including non-district opponents (such as: Arlington Heights, and Richland).        Birdville’s district wins this season include final scores of: (37-14 at Boswell High School), (42-17 vs. Dunbar High School), and (59-21 at Carter Riverside high school).    —  The Hawk’s next big game district game is vs. North Side High School, next-Thursday night at the Birdville Fine Arts Athletics Complex, which should just be another cake-walk for the Hawks.   — Birdville though, might finally have  a test in Saginaw High School, who plays on the road at the FAAC in three weeks as of press-time.

Take on A Couple of NFL related Topic This Morning

 Thomas Brunt’s take on a couple of NFL related topics   I may or may not update this post with more of my opinions on other NFL related topics: 

Jason Witten is insane for playing in the NFL with an injured spleen: 

The only thing I know about this for sure, is that I wouldn’t be doing this, if I was him.  The guy is now, more than ever really sacrificing his body every Sunday, it’s serious, now more than ever at this point, so far, though for Witten, every-time he’s taken a hit, he’s been fine.       — Some people say they think he’s getting to old, that’s not true.  He can still  run, he can still cut up, past his defenders, and attempt to make the catch, on the timed route, so no,  I certainly  don’t think he’s getting to old, so in short, it’s just his spleen, I hope that he is O.K, and doesn’t get  hurt worse than he is.     — One last-thing on this: I can’t quite locate Witten’s logic to play here, but he’s a warrior, and that’s definitely what makes him one,  I for sure have a great amount of respect for him here.

 

——

The Refs Are Back:  Which means there will still be bad calls, they aren’t perfect, but they are, at least the qualified guys to make a bad-call, when they will make them, and trust me, they will, the job that they have is impossible, yet they do it, that says a lot about them.   ( And yes, I do believe that Monday Night’s controversial call pushed them to make a comeback to take over  the replacement guys).

Thursday Night Football Prediction:   Browns at Ravens:  Baltimore is probably a very tough place to play on the road.  — And the Browns, well they’re the ones that have to play in Baltimore.   — Have to go with Baltimore here.

FINAL SCORE Prediction: Ravens: 33, Browns: 14.

Share this post:

— The Replacement Referees not only cheated the Seeahawks on Monday Night’s game, but they also technically cheated  the Seattle Seeahawks out of doing their own personal best, when they made the controversial call that everyone is talking about now.   —  Hear me out here, and things will start to make sense, or not, either way I’ll attempt to explain my opinion in this post.   — With that call being made, Seattle doesn’t realize it,  but whether players on the team like it or not, it’s true, Seattle got cheated in the sense that they needed an extra-call to give them the win,  which proves that they couldn’t beat Green Bay for sure, without help, that is how, Seattle also got cheated, as well.

 

****

UPDATE:  The Referees that were locked out, are now back in, and the league’s credibility has been gained back.    — So, the Referees get what they want (their money), but the Packers still get screwed, call me Skip Bayless, but this all seems like the work of the WWE, to me.

— This report on the referees should come as good-news to Packer fans.   — Obviously, the  normal referees will make some mistakes, and or bad calls, but hey, like the replacement referees, they’re human.  — But there is just absolutely no excuse for what happened on Monday Night Football, which is most likely what got the normal referee union to put a deal together, as I type this:  Another update, courtesy of ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter who has just now reported there will indeed be a regular referee union working Thursday’s night’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns.

Blog Post: Green-Bay isn’t the only one who got cheated..

By Sports-Blogumnist, Thomas Brunt: 

The Replacement referees insulted all of us Football fans, yes, even you Seahawk fans, whom have been blinded by these replacement refs, on Monday Night’s Nationally Telivised football game.   — For the record, I got that from former Seahawks and Ravens quarterback Trent Dilfer, now a current NFL analyst on ESPN, but what Dilfer said is true, not some random crud.  —To add to the other sentence: It’s true, even to Seattle Seahawk fans, who are probably (95% of them, happy with the call at the end).   Seattle fans are blinded, and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about it, to unbind them, and make them realize that those two men in black and white stripes insulted their very intelligence of the game.  — Unless if there is a fan that can see, and isn’t blinded, unlike the majority of the population, I  hope that someone is mature (sports-fan mature) enough to see out of their own eye-sockets of their fan eye-balls.    — Seattle fans, you have been insulted, but you don’t care, but in the process of  the Packers getting cheated, Seattle got cheated, as well.

Take on Controversial Call on MNF

The Seeahawks got away with a crime, and the Packers got convicted on Monday Night. — One of the most infamy calls in league history costed Green-Bay the game on the road in Seattle.

— It’s bad, it really is, and there is reason to worry,   — I don’t care if it’s only three games into the season, sure it doesn’t hold any playoff implications, but that’s exactly the thing that could end happening later on in the season, that is if a deal to bring back the regular referees back doesn’t ever take place this season.  But as Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports.com reminds us, it is the owners that are locking out the regular refs. —  While the replacement referees made the call, the owners started this mess in the first place, so go blame all owners in the NFL,  if they hadn’t started anything, everything would be okay,  late-night’s call to end the game would have been called the right-way, but it wasn’t, and it all starts with the owners.

—

I mean why shouldn’t they be blamed?   — Go ahead, and blame the replacement referees all you want because they made that call.  — That’s not who and or what you should be pointing your finger at though.  Nope, blame money, it’s what’s keeping the regular referees away, or blame the two guys that called what they did last-night, go ahead, I can see the reasoning in that, still doesn’t change my view.    — Blame Greed, it’s what’s keeping the higher paid men in Zebra uniforms that are  doing this.   Blame Roger Goodell, he’s the one that the owners are behind, so… wait a minute.. he has to have the owners behind him on this?  — It all goes back to the owners, in the first place.

—

So whatever you do, just don’t blame the replacement referees, the owners are what brought them here, in the first place, doesn’t that prove my opinion all the more?

Birdville erases early deficit in Home-Coming Game vs. Dunbar

By Hawk Newspaper Sports-Editor, Thomas Brunt: 

NORTH RICHLAND HILLS:  Birdville shook off  a slow-start, down 10-0.  — The Hawks, however would score 35 unanswered, doing all they wanted vs. an overwhelmed opponent in Friday night’s game at the Birdville Fine Arts Athletic Complex.  —–  The Hawks did what ever they needed, after trailing early on to secure the homecoming victory, and to remain undefeated in district play at 4-0, (2-0 in district), in the process of remaining undefeated in district play, Birdville dropped the Wildcats to 1-3, and (1-1 in district) .

— The Dynamic Duo that is Hawks quarterback Justin Martin who led the storm of the comeback, by hitting on 16-22 of his passes for 243 yards and a touchdown throw, and  Hawks running-back Xavier Turner, who scored on a seven yard touchdown run with seven minutes remaining in the 1rst half.   Turner finished the night, very effective with 96 yards on 17 carries.  — Birdville’s next score came from Hawks 2nd string running-back Isiah Duarate,  scored on a 6 yard-run.   — The Hawks would than add three more touchdowns to take a 35-10 lead in the game.

—

The Dunbar offense couldn’t find any rhythm after the Hawks found their way back in the game, excluding a late fourth-quarter touchdown.     — Dunbar would strike first in the game, as Wildcats quarterback Dan Harris threw a 29 yard strike to Jai Butler, who caught the ball, right as he stepped into the end zone.   — After that, the Birdville offense had what would seem to be a  very convincing drive, going 74 yards on the drive, but Martin’s pass from the 6 yard-line was picked off by the Dunbar defense in the endzone, which killed the drive for the Hawks.      — The Wildcats would take advantage of the Birdville turnover, scoring on a 27 yard-field goal by kicker Eric Negtree.   Dunbar’s Sophmore running-back Taylor Martin had 109 yards alone in the first half, before leaving with an injury, and returning back later in the game, finishing with 197 total yards rushing for the game, including a rushing touchdown.    — Birdville would blow Dunbar out in this one, by the final score of 42-17.

Week 4 Picks (NFL) *COLUMN*

Now That Week 3 is almost in the books, and Monday Night Football on tonight, 31 games have been played, from Thursday and Sunday, so without further ado, here are my Week 4 picks for the games that matter, and some extra stuff.

—–

WEEK 4 Picks (Games That Matter):

New York Giants @ Philadelphia Eagles (Sunday Night Football, NBC):

— See, I told you the turnovers would catch up to them. –Both teams hate each other, as they are conference rivals in the NFC East. – The Eagles looked bad on Sunday, real bad, as they got trampled 27-6. — Meanwhile, the G-Men have been dominating ever since they lost to the Cowboys in Week 1, and they haven’t looked back.  They have been on fire. In two combined games the Giants’ offense has compiled a total of 71 total points of offense.  Fantastic playing from the Giants, I don’t see them slowing down. The Eagles offense hasn’t been that of  New York’s, or even close, not even close,  in fact in  two games, the Eagles committed seven turnovers. — Prediction: New York: 27, Philadelphia: 17.

49ers vs. Jets:

—–

Well, San Francisco  lost their first game of the season on Sunday on the road, against the Vikings.

— I did say the 49ers were going to be dominant, but I also said they weren’t going to be unbeatable, as shown in Sunday’s game. — Meanwhile, The Miami Dolphins shot themselves straight in the foot, by calling a timeout as Miami blocked New York’s Field-Goal  attempt. On the ensuing play, the Jets got a field goal up to win the game. Way to go Miami Coaching Staff. – I really hope they understand how big a screw-up like that is, because it is big. — Here’s a random sub-note on that game: Last-season, The 49ers didn’t allow a single rushing touchdown until Week 15, this season, three weeks in, on Sunday they allowed one to Miami.

—

Cowboys vs. Bears:

As for the Dallas Cowboys, yeah, they won in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington vs. the Buccaneers, 16-10. — Must say: not the most impressive effort by the Cowboys’ offense. While at times their offense had flashes of good moments, overall both the Tampa, and Dallas offenses weren’t really on target.

— Now for Tampa Bay, they couldn’t move the chains for their lives unlike their previous week, where they put up 34 in East Rutherford against  the Giants.  Buccaneers quarterback  Freeman wasn’t on target at all, Vincent Jackson was  targeted numerous times, and only caught one reception, a big one though (for the time-being in the game), it was just a total train-wreck overall for the Bucs offense in this one. — I don’t care enough about the Bears to write anything about them, other than that someone has made a hot TumBlr blog, about Jay Cutler called: “Smoking Cutler”.

Prediction: Dallas: 24, Chicago: 10.

 

Bust of  The Week: 

—

Vincent Jackson.  — Really?  — One catch for over 20 yards is all?  — Ouch.    — I guess the Cowboys defense has improved under Rob Ryan (2nd year defensive coordinator for Dallas).   What can I say though, great effort by the Cowboy defense to stop Jackson in this one.

Sunday’s game of the Day  (Possibly Game Of  The Year, Even):

Detroit Lions at Tennessee Titans: 

— How can anyone top this performance by either teams?  — Sure, there was no defense, but that’s exactly what made this one fun, as the fans there in attendance certainly got a treat there, as the Tennessee Titans defeated the defenseless (no defense) Detroit Lions 44-41, the final in overtime, just wow about this game.    — I also didn’t want to forget to mention Lions backup quarterback Shaun Hill (in for the injured Matthew Stafford), just can’t say enough about his efforts to not give up on Sunday.

 

—-

The Race For The NFC East Championship Takes Off:

— Both Dallas and New York came out victorious on Sunday.   — I wouldn’t expect anything other than a tight race between the two, all season long, and it will be intense, I believe that this season could come down, in a similar way that last-season did, only in the playoffs, this time, of course.

Birdville Lady Hawks Volleyball winning, and updated district (volleyball) standings

NORTH RICHLAND HILLS:   — The Birdville Hawk’s Volleyball team is now 7-0 with a big district victory over Dunbar High School on Friday night’s game.   The Hawks though, are coming of a really huge win on Wednesday night, having defeating Saginaw High School in their own gym, putting them up to the first place in the division.    —  “The Saginaw win was HUGE for us.  It seemed like their whole football team was there cheering them on and we had to fight for every point.  That was the first game we had to play without both Tiara and Darien.  Kyndall had to step up and fill in at middle blocker.  I felt good about it though, because she came up to me before the game and said she was up to the challenge!  Its not an easy thing to do to play a position you haven’t worked on all season.  We never gave up and the kids played very well together.  The next time we face them will be the test, we have beaten them twice b/c we played them in a tournament.  Its always tough to beat a team three times,”  said Coach Rinehart

The Nationals.. could be this year’s MLB Cinderella Team.. or not

What a Story have the Washington Nationals been this season, as they are for the first time in while, post-season bound.  — It’s time to rejoyce for Nationals’ fans.   — Until they are one and done, or if.

Now the pressure is on, for the Nationals.

—-

Can they compete successfully under pressure?

Or will they choke?

It’s only reasonable to think that they will choke.

—

Or they could be this year’s MLB Cinderella Team.

Unlikely story you might add, but it could happen,  as the  National’s fans would point out.

—

Hey, it could happen.

 

—

The team has had to face adversity all season long, they have done just that by clinching a playoff berth.  — How much more do they have in them?

(COLUMN) Top 5 NFL Power-Rankings

By Thomas Brunt: My Top 5 NFL Power-Rankings Column: 

1. 49ers: 2-0:  With wins over the Packers in Green Bay in week one, and a victory over the re-building Lions last-Sunday, San Francisco seems unstoppable, as quarterback Alex Smith’s career may have finally been spring-shot, pretty high up, as he’s improved, which makes this team that more dangerous.

—-

2. Texans:   — After losing defensive star player Mario Williams during the off-season, everyone thought Houston was done for.    Now, I know it’s only been two games, but I’m not just going to put some 0-2 team on this ranking.   — With that being said, no, I don’t think that Houston can hold this ranking for very long.   — I have my own reasons.   Quarterback Matt Schaub hasn’t exactly done anything above solid this season  (so far, at least), two things have pushed this team to a 2-0 record to this point.

— The running-game, and the defense.   — Take week 1’s lopsided victory for example, as the Texans picked off Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Ryan Tannahill 3 times, and scored a total of 24 unanswered points in 6 minutes in that game, yeah no kidding this team is led by the DEFENSE.    — If they could just find a consistent rhythm on the offense, look out for the Texans.

 

 

3.  Atlanta Falcons:   — The Falcons are coming off in what seems to be a solid week 2 victory over the Denver Broncos, in which they frustrated  Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning in, and if you can do that, you’re good.   — The Falcons are 2-0, and have quarterback must start:  “Matty Ice”, and red-hot wide receivers:  Roddy White, and Rookie WR (AJ Green).  — This team has a very dangerous offense, look out.

—

4. Philadelphia Eagles: — Can anyone guess why the Eagles are ranked at the #4 spot?  —  Here’s a big clue:  Messy Football.   — The Eagles,  after just two games of play,  have turned the ball over a grand total of   seven times, ouch.   — In two games, Philly has gotten lucky.

— After two games, the Eagles are 2-0, but only by the hair of my hairy-chin-chin chin, as they have won each of their first two games by a total of two points.  — Yep, you read me right on that.  They have only won by one point at a 2-0 record.     — If the Eagles can’t stop the turning- the ball over, at some point it’s going to catch up to them, and it’s going to bite them, because this is the NFL.  You don’t win on LUCK in Pro Football.

5. Washington Redskins:  — When was the last-time they looked this good? — Yeah, they lost in week 2, but you can’t ignore them, or Robert GriffinIII who is the real deal.  — If you are still skeptical about him?  — Take this into perspective:  Griffin led the Redskins into the Super-Dome in week one, and come away with a victory, scoring 42 points in the game.  — Two things I want you to think about on that:

1. The (Redskins) won at the Super-Dome (The Saints went 8-0 last-season at the Super-Dome)

2. The (Redskins)  scored 42 points, and in the Super-Dome.

Still not convinced?  — The last-time the Redskins scored 42 points (before week 1) was in 2005, yeah, that’s what I thought.   — The Redskins just might be a threat for the NFC East’s Conference Championship this season.  — Look out, they have TALENT.

Birdville High School Varstiy and Junior Varsity Shoot-Out League News and Notes..

Both the Birdville Hawks’ Varsity and Junior Varsity basketball teams will be participating in a pre-season shoot-out on Thursday night at Bryon Nelson High School.   Here are a few notes on the league:

• Coach Jeff Fitch announced that Jay Crane will be coaching the Varsity Basketball team during the shoot-out
• Crane’s son (Jeremy Crane) who is on the basketball team, said that (Jay) is out-of-town in Chicago, so there will be someone else on the sidelines, at least for tonight, anyways.
• The Varsity schedule for Birdville includes playing the current defending State-3A Champions (Argiulli): “They have lost a lot of their studs, from graduation, so I wouldn’t expect them to be anywhere near as good as they where last-season,”.    Fitch said.
