The Cowboys face the Houston Texans this Sunday (Sept. 26, 2010) high noon in Houston, Texas at the Reliant Stadium.. Cowboys (0-3), Texans(2-0) have won two in a row and are the pick to win this game by 3. They're 10-3 against the NFC, including 1-0 this season, over the last four years.
The Cowboys offensive game has been awful in their previous games. The players always say whether it's football or basketball "I just run the plays called by coach". So if this is true why wont the offensive coordinator call running plays. The boys want to run! No matter, if the Cowboys don't break out spectacular plays, Texans will shut them down anyway.
Here is what Romo had to say: "It's difficult because we need to getmore out of what we're trying to do," he said. " I'm not sure exactly the statistics but when you run the ball and run successfully, it makes everything a lot easier".
As my Houston colleague and fellow blogger, John McClain said: " This game will be won in the air". I pick the Texans to win.

MAVERICKS SIGN FORWARD STEVE NOVAK
DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks announced today they have signed forward Steve Novak. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

As a senior, Novak led Marquette averaging a team-high 17.5 points a game while shooting 97.5 percent from the foul line.

Texas Legends acquire Fourth Pick in NBA D-League Draft
September 23, 2010, FRISCO, TX -
First to my reades who are not familiar with the Texas Legends. Texas Legends is a developmental basketball league in Frisco, Texas.. President of the Texas Legends Basketball operations is former NBA all-star Spud Webb, a Dallas native.
I haven't written or said much about the Legends, however, as I begin to see more and more activity coming from the Texas Legends camp has sparked my attentions.
Here is the latest: The Legends received the fourth pick in the 2010 Development League Draft via a lottery at the D-League’s annual coaches’ meeting in Dallas earlier this week.
The Legends will use the draft to add to their inaugural roster on Nov. 1.
“The fourth pick is a great spot to be in the D-League draft format,” Legends President of Basketball Operations Spud Webb commented. “We will have an opportunity to get an exceptional player in the first round, and yet there will still be very good talent for us in the second round with the 13th selection.”
The draft flows in a “snake” format, such that the draft order of the 16 teams flips in each round. Thus, the Legends will have the fourth pick in the first round, and the 13th pick in the second, and so on throughout eight rounds of the draft.
"The lottery is always an exciting time because it signals the tip-off a new NBA D-League season,” said Chris Alpert, Vice President of Basketball Operations and Player Personnel for the NBA D-League. “With the Draft order in place, teams are one step closer to determining their opening day rosters for the 2010-11 season."
