Tony Romo - welcome back to earth

Dude does have some skills but I don't get the national media hummer he's getting every week.

Of course I'm not getting the Carrie Underwood hummer he's getting either. Guess I'm just jealous.

 

Simple.

There IS more ink. More web sites. More pregame shows. Longer pregame shows. And it happens that the Cowboys have been a national game more times than usual the past two months.

Whoever wins Super Bowl XLI will get more ink than the team that won Super Bowl XI or XXI or XXXI.

And that's in addition to the Cowboys-Parcells-T.O.-America's Team factor.

 

yeah, the romo phenomenon is not complicated to figure out. an athlete is overhyped in today's oversaturated media age? whaaaa? say it ain't so!

 

I can see the wedding now with him Carrie Underwood.

 

1) Whaaaat?

2) You're SI.Com's Official Fan Boy McNabb Freaking MVP and have a photo with Tomlimson?

3) Whaaaat?

 

i wonder what tonyhomo.com has to say about this...

 

The Clint Longley of 2006.

 

Perhaps, but Longley's legend was predicated on one half of one game....

Still, you remember it 34 years later...

 

It'd be great if he could meet a nice girl in a similar situation who could empathize.

Oh, wait. . .

 

hilarious

 

It wasn't tough to forecast that he was going to wilt as soon as someone (thank you, Jim Johnson) blitzed the shit out of him.

 

I'll second that, but Johnson's blitzes weren't to blame for T.O.'s drops. Romo's got some skills, but he went to Eastern Illinois, went undrafted and was a hat-wearing, clipboard holder for three years for a reason.
