Romo & Newman Interviews

I am not sure if anyon has posted these comments before - but I received the latest copy of the Dallas Cowboy Star, and it included an article on Romo by Kristi Scales.  

Talking about escorting Carrie to the CMAs:

"....I might have gone to awards shows before, but I didn't sit on the third row.  All of a sudden, you guys (the media)know about it now.  But my life hasn't changed.
Here's the thing, anyone who knows me knows how much I'm up here (at Valley Ranch)and how much I work.  To the average person though, whether I play in a golf tournament or talk to a girl, all of a sudden it's like 'Oh, he's never talked to a girl before!  He must be thinking about girls.'  It just kind of cracks me up the way people care about that stuff and assume that it's taking your mind away from football."

Good point.

Then talking about walking the line between committing to too much off the field:

"....It's a fine line you have there.  I've probably turned down 90-95% of the things I get......It probably helps me to stay here.  I live here year-round and I'm here at Valley Ranch all the time.  I might get away for a weekend or something because sometimes it's good to get your buddies together and get away for two or three days.....So I'll get a couple of buddies together and get away a little bit, then come back to Dallas and get to work."

Just what I needed to hear.  I have been iffy on all of his adventures this off-season - not because I don't think he should not have a life, but because I prefer my QB's to be making more news on the field than off.  Thank goodness that training camp is right around the corner.

Terence Newman also talks about goals for this year:

"The biggest goal is the Super Bowl, but the Pro Bowl is one of my goals.  That's being recognized as the best CB in the league.  To do that, obviously, I'd get to the Pro Bowl."

He has another goal in sight.  When Nate Clements 8 year, $80 million contract is brought up:

"I was in awe when Nate Clements signed that contract."

Thats right Terence - you shoot for those first two goals and the contract will happen.
