Romo and the Joy of the Game?

I, for one, want to see one thing out of Tony Romo.

No, it's not fewer red zone interceptions (though that would be nice).

No, it's not putting the ball on the ground fewer times (though that would be nice).

No, it's not even better decision making.

I want to see Romo start smiling again.

Has everyone else not seen the way he retreats to the sidelines now after a bad series and stares blankly ahead? 

This is not the Tony Romo that remembers he is playing on house money.  This is not the Tony Romo that has that great "aw, shucks" grin on his face when he makes a mistake, then retreats to the sidelines to correct it on the next drive.

Our season does not rest on Tony Romo's smile.   But I, for one, miss the quarterback that loved the chance to play.  That didn't second guess.  That made plays, and made mistakes, and loved every minute of every game like it was his last.

Tony, when you come back, remember this: this team, this season doesn't ride on your shoulders.  But we sure need you to play that smiling, pitch and catch, ball that you have taught us to admire, and even love. 

Just go out there and play ball.  And most of all...

Smile.

That's life as QB of the Dallas Cowboys

it’s one of the most public positions in sports and it doesn’t help that he has a public girlfriend whose been exploiting their relationship to boost her career.
