Yeah, for once I don't have to watch NFC east teams play today in games on TV! Texans/Titans, Vikings/Packers, Patriots/Jaguars.
Living in the Dallas/Fort Worth area has a lot of perks to it. When it comes to watching the NFL on TV, not so much. It seems our local stations have some fixation on showing the games that NFC east teams are playing in. Being a lifetime Cowboys' fan, I could care less about the Eagles, Redskins, or Giants and how their games are turning out. If I have a fantasy player that I need to keep tabs on, I can do it through my fantasy football sites.
Last year, I wrote to one of the local stations about this and never really got a reply.
Sidebar: I know your reaction. "Well, get the NFL Sunday Ticket. Then you could watch whatever you want to watch and not have to watch those teams."
Sounds great if you can afford it but I think being able to watch 6 live games a week is enough, if not too much for me.
And yes, despite the "kneelers," I still watch and follow the NFL, but don't get me started on that topic.
And yes, I play fantasy football. 7 teams.

Well put. One of my pet peeves is finding a nice advertisement but no mention as to who or what is promoting it. I am more likely to sign up or follow someone, if it appears they have at least gone to the trouble of posting a real picture of themselves and not of their pet, child/grandchild, or heaven forbid, an avatar.

Thanks for the Championship but....
The truth is... not only for Cuban, but all MAV's fans is that Kidd is guilty of aiding and abetting, the luring away of D. Williams from the Mavs. Inexcusable. Had he not done his "broke back" retreat with Williams up in The Hamptons playing golf.... Deron Williams would be a Mav. Kidd had ulterior motives to play alongside Williams but that backfired when the Nets didn't want him back and he had to settle for N.Y., about the time they knew they were going to lose Lin. As for my thoughts on Kidd being a Mav; I'm glad he's gone. His age was becoming a liability that prevented the Mav's from getting younger and moving in a different direction.
Don’t plan on attending a jersey-retiring ceremony for Jason Kidd at American Airlines Center any time soon. The former Dallas Mavericks point guard apparently burned some bridges with team owner Mark Cuban when Kidd decided not to re-sign and instead head to New York.
Cuban said Tuesday he thought Kidd was returning to the Mavericks before the veteran point guard changed his mind and agreed to sign with the Knicks.
"I was more than upset,” Cuban told the Ben and Skin show on 103.3 [KESN-FM]. "I thought he was coming (back). I was pissed."
That answer came after Cuban was asked if Kidd would have his jersey in the rafters one day at AAC. Cuban said there was “no chance” of that happening after the way things ended.
"J-Kidd’s a big boy, he can do whatever he wants,” Cuban said. “But you don’t change your mind like that. I’m sure I’ll get over it at some point, but as of right now, I wouldn’t put J-Kidd’s number in the rafters."
Kidd's take? "I totally understand his side," he said. "Does Mark understand my side?"
Cuban said Kidd called him before agreeing to the deal but Cuban didn’t answer because he “was in D.C. with my kids at a museum.”
“I like J-Kidd,” Cuban added. “He’s a good guy. But I just thought that was wrong. You can’t put a guy’s number in the rafters when he decides he doesn’t want to be there.”
Kidd still wouldn't mind making it there.
"I would be honored if I made the rafters there," Kidd told FOXSportsSouthwest.com.
Cuban said Jason Terry, who signed with the Boston Celtics this summer, has a shot at getting his number retired. So, how are the departures different?
"Jet was 100-percent honest and straightforward about everything,” Cuban said. “No problem with what Jet did whatsoever.”
Cuban concluded: “It hurt my feelings, period, because I thought that we had developed a relationship and I thought [Kidd] was committed to the organization. It sure seemed like he was. I mean, J-Kidd was active in going out there and talking to Deron Williams the whole time. I guess it was more shocking and surprising than anything else."

Mavericks Sweep
First off, my hat is off to Phil Jackson in being a classy guy and his respectful comments to the Dallas Mavericks.
Enough said for now... The Dallas Mavericks went out and took care of business. What they needed to do and did, took a whole team effort. Granted, the finish line is still far away and the trophy is still engraved with the Lakers' name on it, or it was until a little while ago. If the Mavericks can do what they did to the Lakers' in then next 2 series, barring any injuries, and stupid play resulting in suspensions, they will be the new NBA Champions.

New Concept to Run Our Government
I'm not one to get political but this hit me out of the clear blue and I just had to share it.
As I sat yesterday afternoon getting my hair cut, someone issued a statement about the NFL and whether or not there will be football this coming season. Not really paying attention to the conversation, it dawned on me, one of the reasons why the NFL is in a lock out. That being that the owners don't want to spend any money. Think about that for a second. We have NFL owners that don't want to spend any money, on one hand, and politicians on Capitol Hill that want to spend all the money they can. Try this on for size. Let's send all the NFL owners to Washington to run the Government with their money. There would be no president, just 32 Czars, pun intended.
What to do with the out of office politicians, good question? First off, no unemployment benefits. Put them in the work force and make them EARN their wages, like the rest of us. That might seem harsh but it's far better than the boat I'd put them on and send them to...
You may think this is an absurd idea. Maybe it is. The point I'm really trying to underline here is, that we as Americans need this kind of "out of the box" thinking to turn this dismal spin around. Businesses turn to their marketing departments to come up with new ideas to promote in order to get ahead of the competition. Isn't our government a business? Yes and no. It acts like a business but it is not run like a business. A real business, like NFL owners, is out to make money, not spend it. I could go on and on but I think you get my point.

Changes in sound
Over the last 3 weeks, the normal sounds of our household has changed. With the death of our noisy Lab(the memoir to Lady still to come, sitting in the draft room)there has been a quietness that has brought a peaceful spirit with it. She was as you might say,"hot natured" and panted all the time. When she slept, most of the time she snored. When she gave herself a bath or drank out of the toilet it sounded like a misfiring Hoover vacuum cleaner. So most of the time she was making some sort of noise. The night she died, there was an eerie quiet unlike I've ever notice in my life. Humans may leave a mark on our life but pets leave a mark on our soul.
With the new quietness in our house, I've also heard a strange manly voice embark upon my ears. It makes me stop and wonder if we have company or not. That voice is the sound of my 15 year old, Jameson, going through puberty. Not only has he grown a foot in the last six months, he now can probably sing lower than me.
