Sports- Cowboys Win, Cowboys Lose

October 30, 2023- Monday 

The Dallas Cowboys took down the Los Angeles Rams yesterday and they did it in whopping fashion, 43 to 20. The game was not that close. The 33 to 3 score at halftime was more indicative of how the game went for the Cowboys. A blocked punt for a safety, and intercepted pass for a touchdown, and key plays for several Cowboys lead to a total domination of the Rams. For the average Dallas Cowboys’ fan, it was great to watch. For other fans, they still remember the beating the Cowboys received at the hands of the San Francisco 49’ers so what kind of team are we really watching?

The Cowboys are basically beating the mediocre to bad teams of the NFL. They have lost to San Francisco, a team many believe will be in the Super Bowl. The exception to the beating of the bad teams, is the Cowboys loss to an Arizona Cardinals team that will not be seeing the Super Bowl this year by a long shot. Now it’s time for the rubber to meet the road. Dallas travels to Philadelphia this coming weekend to play the Eagles.

The Eagles are the other team expected to be in the Super Bowl for a second consecutive year. The Eagles are definitely strong across the board and now the Cowboys are going to roll into town off of a dominating win. What will we see?

I anticipate we will see a Cowboys team that will play well and will give a respectable performance, but they will not win this game. Philadelphia is a better team in each area of the game and that will be enough to send the Cowboys home with their third loss for the season. Here’s hoping I’m wrong.

College Football Playoffs, A Sham

December 19, 2025- Friday The college football 2025-26 playoffs begin today with Alabama Crimson Tide playing the University of Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, Oklahoma. This should be a really good college football game between history laden teams.  The college football playoffs are a sham. At the end of the playoffs we still will not know if the best team actually won the playoffs or not. That is because the University of Notre Dame was omitted from the playoffs.  The two losses on the Fighting Irish ledger, one to Miami and one to Texas A&M by a combined total of 4 points, forced the Fighting Irish to the sidelines for the because they lost by 3 points to Miami in the first game of the season.  For the last five weeks of the regular season, Notre Dame stayed ahead of Miami in the college football playoff rankings because Miami lost to lesser teams, SMU and Louisville.  In the last week, the Atlantic Coast Conference realized the playoffs were going to happen witho...

Dying in Chicago Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

September 6, 2025- Saturday I haven’t had much to say lately about the news and that's probably good. The constant news cycle has worn me out. I still listen to the news so I will know what is happening, but I have cut out much of the news because of all the negativity that gets repeated several times per hour. We now have word that seven people were killed in Chicago over the Labor Day weekend. Over thirty people were shot or injured in the shootings. The weekly shootings and killing in Chicago, Illinois has been constant for the last several years. It is debatable as to who all is doing the shooting, but the fact is, the shooting continues on a weekly basis in Chicago and nothing the political and law enforcement leaders do in Chicago changes anything. Now President Donald Trump wants to address the violence as he did in Washington, D.C. and send in the National Guard into Chicago in an attempt to stop the killing. T he politic al leaders In Illinois and Chicago do not want t...

Maintenance Means Learning and Sharing

September 2025  Topic of the Day- Life. Like Architecture, is a ver. If designed well, it works. It’s beautiful, and it needs no directions. It needs maintenance. How does one effectively maintain well in life? Some people are very goal oriented and seem to be obsessed with self-improvement. I think a lot of maintaining our lives is actually improving ourselves as we go through life. Maintenance in life is improving and moving forward, mostly through education.   One concept I was not taught in school is the concept of lifelong learning. To give ourselves, we need to continue to learn. There are those who choose to simply exist. These people are selfish. They are selfish because they are depriving others around them of all they can be by not maintaining themselves. We must know by growing ourselves, we are actually helping others with all the positive s in our own lives that we share with others.   Our personal maintenance must include sharing what we know...
