  • 11-1 and at the Top of the Pack!

    Wow: 11-1!  Dallas did it last night–they put away the now 10-2 Packers.  That’s amazing that in 12 games so far this year, their only loss was at the hands of the undefeated Patriots.  Had to miss this game, but it sure is fun even just to read about it!  You can check out the Continue reading

  • 10-1 for the First Time!
