Cowboys Cruise By Struggling Seahawks


Dallas breezed by the Seahawks in a 34-9 victory at Texas Stadium in there traditional Thanksgiving Day game. This is 3 straight tying there earlier streak in the season. There next few games between Pittsburgh, Giants, Baltimore, and Eagles is the hardest final schedule in the NFL. They will need to do very well to keep those play off hopes alive. Marion Barber (pinky toe) and Demarcus Ware (knee) were injured in the 3rd quarter but it seems they will be ok for next week. Demarcus Ware has the sack record this season with 15, and the Dallas defense may get another boost when Adam Jones returns next week. Dallas doesnt have the best record in the month of December and hasnt had a winning one in that month since 2001. Romo passed for 331 yards and 3 TDs and 1 Int. Jason Whitten was a huge part of the offense since he broke his rib with 9 receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown. Owens also did well with 5 receptions for 98 yards and also a touchdown. Dallas doesnt play till next week agaisnt the Steelers who are right now 8-3 before Sunday. Cowboys move on up to 8-4.

XBOX 360 Repair Journey: Entry 6




So my xbox has been shipped but just the billing information has been received. When i check my status it has a new serial number and everything. I called Microsoft to get the tracking number. I called UPS to see if I could pick the package up somewhere but it hasnt left the repair center yet. I have looked all over online for a number for them but there isnt one listed. They said it should arrive by December 2nd which is retarded, damn holiday. As soon as it says in route or its been picked up by UPS im going to call and try and pick it up.

XBOX 360 Repair Journey: Entry 5


I just checked my status and it says the repair on my console has been complete and is being prepared for shipment. I am happy yet disappointed at the same time. I know that I will not get it till next week because of the UPS office being closed on Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving Holidays. Maybe a miracle will happen and it will get here today but I doubt it. Mine took longer to repair then others I had read about online. Its only 25 minutes away so we will see, but I don't see UPS doing any extra work knowing they are about to be off for 4 days. I will keep checking back for any new updates..

XBOX 360 Repair Journey: Entry 4



So finally I wake up to an email from Microsoft saying that the repair is now in progress and will notify me when they are finished. Its about time, and they actually updated the xbox.com website with my progress. Hopefully by the end of today they finish repairing it. I would like to have it back to me before Thanksgiving but I doubt it. Hopefully by this weekend. Until the next update stand by...

XBOX 360 Repair Journey: Entry 3



So after 4 days my XBOX has finally arrived in Mesquite to the repair center a whole 20-25 minutes away. A bit too long if you ask me. I know I had Saturday and Sunday but still. I tracked it with UPS and it was delivered to the center at 8:05pm tonight. The xbox.com website on the other hand is total crap. It has not updated at all. Right now it should say box received or being repaired, but it still says repair box sent. Total bull if you ask me. Hopefully it updates soon. Until the next update...

Dallas Still On Track For Playoffs


Cowboys are still on there way to a wild card playoff spot with a 35-22 win over the San Fransisco 49ers today. It was there second consecutive win since there 3-0 start earlier this season. Owens had his second best career day with 213 receiving yards and a TD on seven catches. Romo had 314 passing yards and 3 TDs for the day. The Cowboy's defense has continued little by little to get it together. They had 4 sacks, 1 fumble recovery, 1 interception, 1 saftey and 1 blocked kick for the day. Dallas gets the 2-8 Seattle Seahawks in less than 4 days for the annual Thanksgiving Day game. Dallas moves to 7-4 and keeps there playoff hopes alive with a big win today.

XBOX 360 Repair Journey: Entry 2



I just received my repair shipment box at 5:40pm. A total of 4 days to receive it since I called. I then packed up my broken XBOX and went to the UPS store down the road to ship it off. The repair center is in Mesquite, Texas which is about 20 mins away from here. It should be there tomorrow but by Saturday for sure. Until next time...

Tony Romo A Modern Day Saint


How can you not like this guy? Earlier this season Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo pulled over in Dallas traffic and helped a couple change a tire on there car that had a flat. Well Romo even tops that people. It was either today or yesterday Romo took a homeless man out to the movies, and not only took him but sat and watched the movie with him. The homeless man told Romo "Sorry if I smell bad its been awhile since I had a shower." Romo responded with, " Its ok I'm used to it. I'm in the locker room alot." Is this guy a saint or what? You cant help but to like this guy. Hes just a small town mid west guy who just happens to plays great football.

XBOX 360 Repair Journey: Entry 1




So my XBOX 360 has been giving me problems since the new GOW2 came out. It now just doesn't work meaning it freezes but no Red Rings of Death. Many have had these problems since the COD: WAW and GOW2 came out. Now I usually would just go to Best Buy and return it and get a new one free of charge but my protection plan has expired so its off to Microsoft. This is my 3rd one to break and my first time sending it out so I am going to post everytime I check the status on xbox.com/support. To see about how long from day one till I get it back. I called the support line last night around 1130pm and we did the test which all failed so they are sending me a box to send it out in and so the journey begins. Everytime a new update comes out when I check the status I will update a new post. I will be missing a couple or more of play time which usually keeps me sane and the new xbox live dashboard update that comes out the 19th but I think I will live. Stay tuned for the next update.

Cowboys Keep Playoff Hopes Alive with 14-10 Win


Well looks like Dallas rallied past the Redskins to win and keep there playoff hopes alive. A loss tonight would have pretty much been no playoffs this season. Tony Romo was back in action with a split on his pinky finger on his throwing hand. He said it bothered him a few times but nothing too serious. He completed 19/27 passes for 198 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs. A little rusty maybe but enough to win. But it was Marion Barber who was the beast of the game with 1 rush TD, 114 yards on 24 attempts, along with 6 receptions for 39 yards. The Cowboys move to 6-4 and 3rd overall in the NFC East and play at home next week agaisnt the San Fransico 49ers who are 3-7.

Happy Birthday Marines!

On this day in 1775 our Marine Corps was born in Tun Tavern Philadelphia Pennsylvania 233 years ago. So salute and thank those on our birthday who have sacrificed the freedoms that many of us take for granted. To those Marines of the past, the Marines who Ive served with you know who you are and are missed... you are truly my brothers. The Marines of the present. The Marines of the future and last but not least the ones who made the ultimate sacrifice let us remember but never forget. I say Happy 233rd Birthday and to many more. I miss you guys and not a day passes that I don't think about the the good times and the bad. We have cried together, bled together, fought together, and hell even fought each other. Happy Birthday to you guys and all fellow Marines on this day.
SEMPER FIDELIS!

Giants Have No Mercy On Banged Up Boys


Surprised?..Shocked maybe?..not at all. The Giants burry the Cowboys 35-14. I knew the Cowboys would not win or had a slim to none chance to win this game without Romo. Brad Johnson is horrible need I say more. I think I should. This guy is garbage I'm sorry but I have to say it. 3 interceptions then they put in his backup who throws an interception on his first pass! Wow is all I can say. At least Bollinger threw a passing touchdown to T.O. Barber was shut down. The offense cant get going without Romo. The Cowboys are now dead last in the NFC East and have a bye week to rethink and re coop. Tony Romo should be back to face Washington. Lets hope Dallas comes back revived and with spirits up now that Tony is going to be back in action. They should also have Felix Jones and hopefully Jason Whitten will let those ribs heal a bit more. Maybe that will give them back that confidence they had. They need to win the next 5 out of 7 games to make the playoffs and there schedule is not gonna make that easy. Cowboys are now 5-4 and Giants are 7-1 and are number 1 in the NFC East.
