My Sports Weekend

I apologize for taking so long to post a blog this week, this week has been hectic. Last weekend was crazy fun for me starting with going to the Cowboys stadium on Friday. If my wife and I had left earlier for Arlington, we could have taken a tour of the stadium which would have been awesome but we are going to a game on the 29th anyways. We walked around the outside of the stadium and checked out the pro shop while we were there.

After leaving the mammoth stadium, we went to our original destination for the night: Rangers--Mariners game in which we had to leave early due to the threat of rain. The important thing is that the Rangers won and we saw a couple of homers that set off the fireworks. It was a great day!



Saturday was the key day for the weekend: Cowboys training camp in San Antonio. The crowd was enormous and I am only estimating but I would say maybe upwards of 10-12,000. The crowd cheered for their heroes: Marion Barber, Jason Witten, DeMarcus Ware, and of course the beautiful, Tony Romo.

Players who looked good in practice:
Tony Romo
Felix Jones---flat out explosive
Flozell Adams--lost a lot weight and was very mobile
Rudy Carpenter--I would like to see him as the #3 QB.

Players who didn't look so good:
Stephen McGee--his passes were off in the early practice.
Patrick Crayton--dropped several passes
Jesse Holley--Mr. "4th and Long" dropped a lot of passes.

One thing I take away from Camp:
I never liked Wade Phillips as the Cowboys coach and now I KNOW I don't like him as the head coach. He looked lost especially in the early practice when he was wondering around the 50-yard line waddling back and forth. If you don't believe me I have a picture to show you him by the "star" and no one within 30 yards around him. Check it out:
