Why the Tony Romo is the man
Tony Romo is my new hero, right behind that of Derek Jeter. After a dissappointing end of the season on a botched snap in the playoffs last year, Romo and the 'Boys are 4-0 for the first time since 1995, the same year they won their last Super Bowl. This is exciting for Dallas fans because we have waited a long freakin time for this. Quincy Carter sucked, Vinny Testaverde sucked, and Drew Bledsoe was garbage as well. Side note, I saw Drew Bledsoe randomly out west in Wyoming while I was with my family in Grand Tetons National Park (like Yellowstone). He came into a tiny little roadside restaurant were we were eating, then eventually took off 5 mins later when everyone realized he was there. I tried to get an autograph or a picture with him, but he blew me off. That was when he was with Buffalo; imagine what I felt like when he came to my 'Boys: what the hell are you doing on my team and why don't I have your autograph. So naturally, I held a grudge and luckily he sucked so I didn't have to change my opinion about him. So anyway, Romo is leading the 'Boys every game because of the lack of the running game. Julius Jones isn't rushing for more than 50 yards a game, however the team is fortunately to have the likes of Marion Barber to back JJ up. Romo has the second highest quarterback rating in the league at 112.9, second only to Tom Brady, who I hope breaks his ankle tonight against the Bengals cus I hate teams from Massachusetts (get ready Bosox, the Bronx Bombers are coming). But, to think that a quarterback who hasn't even played an entire season yet has a better QB rating then the likes of Peyton Manning and Carson Palmer is pretty intense. I mean, last season, when Bledsoe was sucking royally, the fans at Texas stadium were chanting for Parcells to bring in Romo. Who the hell is that, I thought. I've barely ever heard of him, and to bring him in midway through a season without any prior NFL experience seemed like a ballsy move to me. However, I was stunned by what I saw in that guy. And he's a cutie too. I mean, can you say Carrie Underwood? Gorgeous bombshell. But his play on the field is what is grabbing the sports world's attention. Also, there is def chemistry between Romo and TO. I hated TO when he played for the 49er's, I hated when he played for the Eagles, but now I love him. I couldn't believe that of all people, Jerry Jones would sign him. I knew that if there was one coach that would have been able to handle such a self-centered cocky mouth of a player, it would be Parcells. I mean, that fat guy is damn intiminating. He scares me; if I met him, I don't know if he would scream at me until I went deaf, or just club me over the head with his clip board, drag me home, and throw me in a pot full of boiling water, maybe add a little bit of spices, preferably some of that Emeril's cajun stuff, delicious, and serve me up with a little apple in my mouth for decor. Scary thought I know. But I got to hand it to him, he took a really shitty team and because of him, Dallas is now a powerhouse. I will go so far as to say that Dallas is without a doubt the best team in the NFC, which historically the last few years isn't saying much, however I feel that this is the best NFC team to emerge as of late. Let me leave you with this ladies and gentlemen: week 6, Sunday October 14th, 4:30 pm, New England Patriots at the Dallas Cowboys. I have a feeling that this may be your exclusive behind the scenes preview to the Super Bowl this year. Although I think it will be a close game, and I happen to be a little partial about my team, don't be suprised if Romo and the 'Boys hand Brady his first loss of the season, just as Romo did last season against the then undefeated Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts. I had a feeling that the 'Boys were gonna beat Indy, and I have that feeling now. So, in my eyes, it may be possible, if Romo and the 'Boys keep playing the way they have been, with the offense clicking better and better each game, and the defense giving up less and less points a game, that my, and maybe your, 2007 Dallas Cowboys could be Super Bowl 40 whatever Champions. I might cry a little, but not much, just enough.
