Ten-Word Tuesday. The Monday Night Football Edition.

The Dallas Cowboys versus the Philadelphia Eagles football game began with an exciting Eagles drive against Dallas that ended in a field goal!

Of course Bossy wasn’t watching the game, because she was attending
back-to-school night.

And then there was some more running and tackling and throwing and kicking—but Bossy missed all that because she was in the kitchen making a smoothie and here were her ingredients: banana, mango, plain yogurt, milk, orange juice, and wheat germ.

And then Bossy settled in front of the television for the game! She watched and watched but she couldn’t find anyone as beautiful as her ex-Eagle husband Eric Allen.

And then! Then the Eagles scored and Dallas scored and the Eagles scored and Dallas scored and the Eagles scored and Dallas scored!

Of course Bossy didn’t see any of that, because she went to bed.

Which leads Bossy to today’s Ten-Word Challenge. In exactly ten words, can you tell Bossy about your favorite team or player? Any sport.

And check back later today to read the musings of the best sports enthusiasts on the web.

    Dallas Cowboys came along and kicked those nasty Eagles butts(as it should be).
