Cowboys Beat Pittsburgh

The Dallas Cowboys beat the Pittsburgh Steelers last night, 20-17.  The win came with 20 seconds left in the game. The 4-yard pass from Dak Prescott to Jalen Tolbert just inside the end zone capped off a very hard-fought football game.  Prescott fumbled once and threw two interceptions but the team mostly of rookies and back-up players held together and fought to win. 

 I thought they would lose the game since Micah Parsons and DeMarco Lawrence were out on defense. I also anticipated Prescott would turn the ball over and he did not disappoint.  Pittsburgh really hurt themselves with penalties, but Dallas had their fair share of penalties too.  Dak and Dallas survived this game largely because of the good running of Rico Dowdle and in spite of the bad attitude of Cee Dee Lamb.  Way too much arrogance riding in Lamb these days.  Instead of working with Prescott to fix issues and find a way to win, Cee Dee was barking at Prescott on the sideline from a distance of ten feet.  That must be fixed by Coach Mike McCarthy.  

Next up for the Cowboys are the Detroit Lions in Arlington.  I don't see a win for Dallas in this one but who knows what kind of grit will show up in the Cowboys this week.

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...
