BEST BEAN DIP FOR COWBOYS FOOTBALL, OF COURSE!

It was almost a party similar to the Superbowl. At least, our love affair with the Dallas Cowboys was alive and well. They have had a pretty good year and had made it to a playoff game up in Green Bay!
So all eyes were glued to TVs all over Texas yesterday, as we were cheering da' boys on to victory!

But, (big, heavy sigh) it was not meant to be. There was that "soon to be talked about call!" Since I am not well versed in football sportcasting...here is an news excerpt from MSN AP, which explains the call that most likely changed the course of the game's winning team.

"Dez Bryant's leaping, bobbling 31-yard catch at the Packers 1 on a fourth-and-2 play was challenged by Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy. Instead of first-and-goal for Dallas (13-5), the ball went over to the Packers.

"Some people think throwing the red flag is fun," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "It was such an impactful play, you had to challenge. It was a confident challenge. And a hopeful one, too."
One packed with controversy, as well.

"Look, I'll tell you this, I've never seen that a day in my life," Bryant said. "I want to know why it wasn't a catch."

Because Bryant didn't maintain control all the way to the ground, as the rule states. Replays showed Bryant bobbling the ball as he rolled into the end zone, with part of it touching the field.
"By rule he must hold onto it throughout entire process of contacting the ground," tweeted Dean Blandino, the league's director of officiating. "He didn't, so it is incomplete."

An impassioned Bryant didn't buy it.

"All I know is I had possession, I had possession of the ball coming down," Bryant said. "That's possession, right? One, two, reach. Bam, that's possession."

Bo didn't buy it either.....

Jennyfer volunteered to be my hand model!
