Be Prepared!

Ladies,

I am a huge football fan. More than being a football fan I LOVE the DALLAS COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I know this is a blog about fashion and I was fashionably attired yesterday at the sports bar (and later at my cousin's house) while we were watching the game. I had on a boat neck 3/4 sweater, 7 jeans, a black short blazer, and a gorgeous pair of ankle boots from Harold's. Shouts out to my Dallas crew Toni, Tammy, Jason, Lacy, Robert, and Kiristen! And last but not least Troy (yes we know you just drink)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now back to the problem at hand. For all of you who are unaware Dallas, who was 13-3 during the regular season (a tied team recorded best), lost yesterday to the New York Giants 21-17. From a Cowboy fan perspective it was a dismal performance with Clayton dropping 3 critical passes, Tony Romo continuously overthrowing passes and getting sacked. This is a team that I praised as a contender for this years superbowl and their performance was similar to that of any recent Brittney Spears concert (can we say WACK).

When you love a team like I love the Cowboys and you go through that emotional ride of the regular season and finally make it to the playoffs it is like a slap in the face to see them throw it all away but not because of lack of talent but due to poor preparation, committment, and just a arrogant carelessness.

Tony Romo received a $66 million dollar contract to play football and the week before the playoff game he flys to Mexico for a weekend with his girlfriend Jessica Simpson. Not saying that in normal circumstances there is anything wrong with that but do you think Brett Farve or Payton Manning were taking vacations??? Or were they at home studying film and making sure they were the best they could be???

Pride cometh before a fall and the Cowboy's in their arrogance failed to properly prepare mentally for this game. It never occurred to them that they could lose. So what, they had beat the Giants two times during the regular season they were a different team then, now in the playoffs when it really counted the Giants put everything on the line.

So my advice to you is BE PREPARED mentally for this game we call life and if you really want something go for it! Remember you win some and you lose some, while losing is painful it is always better when you give it your all. At least there are no regrets because you did everything you could do to prepare. Unlike Tony Romo who will have to hear Jessica Simpson jokes for the rest of his life! But didn't she look fab in her pink TR jersey at the Redskins/Dallas game???

Till next time
