For once, I listened to a fair radio piece about Romo, and from an ESPN radio. If you have a couple of minutes, listen to the Thundering herd podcast from Monday 12/08 . Colin Cowherd is expressing his Monday thoughts about the Cowboys and Romo following the loss and in my opinion, it's worth listening to it.
Especially after sunday's game. For all the people who got tired or mad about Tony, this piece may "ease their pain" to use a famous movie's quote.
If you do, let me know what you think.
thanks

I make it a point
To never, ever even conceive of lending an ear, eye, or finger to the corpulent, disgusting ESPN monster. As objective as they may have in fact been for once, I’ll not allow myself to give this my time.

like I said on another post
I respect your opinion of course. But that may be a way for you to see that not 100% of ESPN is “rotten”. I don’t have much choice in podcast I can get from here, even through the internet and Itunes. So yes I listen to Cowherd and frankly, in my opinion, he makes some good shows.
Colin is great.
By far the best thing on ESPN.

Couldn't agree more...
His is the only ESPN Radio Show I’ll listen to…
He’s not the irrational, overzealous, “the world is falling” type like most everything else on ESPN… He’s the most objective thing they’ve got going…
I can't hear it I am at work
What were some of the highlights/best parts?
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
he said bascially what we've been preaching
Romo is an elite qb and every elite qb in the history of the league has had really bad games every once in a while.
Romo always bounces back from stinkers and will play well against the GMen.
Gotta take the bad with the good because the good is really good…what makes him great and special is the same thing that breaks your heart sometimes.
Its like I said, its like dating a super hot girlfriend with a few warts.
In Romo we Trust
Exactly
I love it. Herd gets it.
Guy throws 6 300 yd games and has a bad one and now he can’t win the big one? I love it, I know Romo will bounce back.
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
The problem with Romo
Is that this “bad game” excuse seems to pop up all too often and at the worst possible times. I don’t care if he throws 10 300 yard games if he/the offense throws up 4-5-6 turnovers in what amounts to a playoff game.
Trying to seal a playoff position? Darn, Romo had a bad game.
Trying to win a playoff game? Ooops, I guess he had a bad game.
Trying to win a playoff game? Shoot, it happened again, poor guy, I bet he feels awful.
etc. etc. etc.
Great Ones don’t have bad games in big games. They have super games. Better yet, even when they don’t do their best, they still find a way to win. That is exactly the opposite of what this team/Romo exhibits. When this team has a chance/excuse to lose, they reach out and grab it with both hands. Fact of the matter is, Romo hasn’t won the big anything. He’s had opportunities, but failed every time. Until he does win something big, then yes, right now, it’s true: “Romo can’t win the big one.”
not true
Romo has won plenty of big games throughout his career.
In his first ever game starting against the panthers in 2006, we needed to win a big game early in the season and he delivered big time.
Last season he came up big in several big game, both Giants games, at Chicago, at Philly, and the GB game which was essentially for the #1 seed in the NFC, the game against the Skins this season when we were 5-4, none of which were any less important or big as the Steelers game.
To say he hasn’t won any big games is simply not true at all.
BTW, he didn’t have bad games in the playoff loses, the reason we lost sure as hell wasn’t Romo’s fault.
In Romo we Trust
eww gross a girlfriend with warts.

well at least
give it a try. Don’t we have to keep an open mind in life ? I don’t always agree with Cowherd, but I find his chronicle this time full of good sense? Probably with a lot more good sense than most of our post reflected after the game.

Got it, Helene. THANKS!
Wow. Colin really put things into perspective.
Now, if only his TV network brethren could follow suit.
I loved his pilot metaphor and radio shock jock metaphor.
And man, I never realized that he excelled on the Wunderlich test. Then again, I’m not surprised.
Great stuff. Thanks for sharing this with us!!!!!!!

Listen to the Herd nearly every day
Not a big fan of the rest of ESPN’s lineup, but Colin is about as objective as any MSM member I can recall. He is a bit of a USC homer but makes very good arguments to back up most of his opinions whether I agree or not. Good stuff.
