New Cowboys Stadium lives up to hype

Some pics from my recent visit to the new Cowboys Stadium. It was everything I thought it would be -- and more! Thought I would share a few shots with you!

Top photo: The new stadium boasts the largest HD screen in the world. Very cool!

Photo 2: A look at some of the different levels of seats.

Photo 3: As you can see, the outside of the stadium has a lot of glass. Gives it a very different look.

Our official Cowboys season predictions ...

We talked Cowboys football today (Aug. 6th) on "Sports Clips" on Mad Rock ... you know, how we think they'll do this season ... and why ... and gave our predictions on what kind of record the team will have.

---------------

Here's our picks:
JASON TAYLOR: 10-6 ... good enough for a playoff spot ... picks Philadelphia to win NFC East.
SCOTT CALDWELL: 10-6 ... good enough for a playoff spot ... picks NY Giants to win NFC East.
JACKIE VANZANT: 16-0 ... I know ... he's mocking our serious sports discussion!!!! ... picks, of course, the Cowboys to win the NFC East.

Now we can all sit back and see what happens!

Tiger ... Mrs. Brett Favre ... and football

I've been busy and haven't blogged in a while ... sorry about that!

So, here is my feeble attempt to catch up -- some quick, drive-by sports thoughts:

----------------

Tiger wins again (yawn)

Tiger Woods won the Buick Open Sunday -- his 69th tournament victory. Of course, EVERYONE knew he was going to win. He's 36-1 when heading into the final round with a lead. That's right ... 36-1.

Phenomenal. Absolutely unreal.

I personally know a few Tiger haters out there who don't want him to beat Jack's records, but he's only four behind Jack's overall victory total of 73 and only four behind the Golden Bear's unbelievable record of 18 majors.

Brett Favre to stay retired?

That drama queen, Brett Favre, allegedly is staying retired. According to reports late last week, he told the Minnesota Vikings "no thanks" ... that he didn't want to go through the grind of another NFL season.

Thank goodness! I think everyone is tired of his act.Jason Taylor, part of our weekly sports roundtable on "Sports Clips" on Mad Rock, said Favre should stay home for another reason -- his great-looking wife!

So, for those wondering, here's a photo of Mrs. Brett Favre (above, left).

Football is back!!!!

Some high school teams hit the practice field Monday, Aug. 3rd, and our Dallas Cowboys are already practicing in San Antonio! Yes!!!! All of us on "Sports Clips" are happy about that!!!

This past Friday, one of the things we debated was whether or not the Cowboys should be getting more headlines in early August than the Texas Rangers, who are in a pennant race with the Angels in the AL West.

Our overwhelming answer: YES!!!! Football, like it or not, is still king in Texas. And the Rangers have done very little to change that over the years. VERY little.
