1. I love the Dallas Cowboys to the chagrin of my Steeler loving husband. I'm mad at them right now because they played simply awful on Sunday and lost to the Redskins. Bad Cowboys!

Fall
Fall is here. The air is just a touch cooler, this is Texas after all, so there's not a lot of change yet. The colors of fall however are in evidence everywhere. Blue and silver; green and white; purple and white; black and gold; red and orange. What, you don't recognize most of those as fall colors? Don't watch much football do you?
Yes, football is here. Pro, college, I love 'em both. It's the end of the second week of the pro season and my favorite team, the Cowboys, is 2-0. They beat their conference rivals, the hated Eagles, last night in a smash mouth, rough and tumble of a game that had Texas Stadium rocking. The final was 41-37 and there was a little bit of everything; quarterback sacks, fumble recoveries, interceptions, bonehead plays by both teams, great runbacks, missed tackles. Hey, this game had it all. It's one of those that never slows down and the fans in the stands never sit down. I was at home and was worn out by the time game was over.
I really do like football and this season promises to be a good one. Two weeks ago many were picking the Patriots to go all the way again, but now without star Tom Brady, they're asking questions; can Matt Cassell do the job? So far so good; the Pats are 2-0 without Brady. Can Brett lead the Jets to the playoffs? Will the Giants repeat? Will Peyton face his little brother in the Super Bowl? What's going on with Vince Young? What's happening down in Miami?
All good questions that will be answered one week at a time. That is after all, why they play the games. If all the answers were easy at the beginning of the season, there'd be no reason for the season! And then where would we be?
As for college, well I'll just stick around and see if USC is going to remain the power house they've been so far while secretly hoping they don't. I really like the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame and they're off to a good start this season at 2-0. They face Michigan State this weekend and they have to face off against that oh so powerful USC team in November. Could be interesting.
So as leaves change colors and fall, as temperatures slowly drop and the world creeps toward winter, I'll enjoy my fall color pallette and spend my weekend afternoons cheering on my favorites. I hope you do the same and that your team wins. Except when they play mine. Go football!
