Friday night Cowboys link dump

 

Sorry, not a lot of time to post today. Here are some articles that will hopefully spur some conversation.

Long article by Michael Silver at Yahoo about Tony Romo. It definitely had a great start with this line:

Like his girlfriend Jessica Simpson, Tony Romo is known primarily for two things –

 Ha! Stay classy, Silver. But it is funny.

The article chronicles Tony Hollywood’s celebrity status in relation to winning in the postseason; but mainly it’s a re-hash of the Mexican Vacation Situation.

We knew Romo played golf, and some basketball, but we also find out he plays soccer.

Uh, soccer? That's right – Romo, who last October signed a six-year, $67.5-million contract extension, routinely rips it up in the midfield in a Dallas-area rec league. Heaven help the Steve Bartman wannabe who takes him down with an aggressive slide tackle.

Yikes! I could see NFC East teams paying some thugs to infiltrate the Dallas-area rec league.

Hat tip to bluewolf021 for the FanShot.

Another “Romo needs to win in the post-season” story. 

Mickey’s travels.

The Orlando Scandrick deal is official.

This is recommended reading about a plan to keep Cowboys fans from infiltrating the Cardinals stadium for the game there. Complete with this zinger if you break the rules that are suggested:

If you are caught it is punishable by death or having to watch the Cardinals vs. the Saints in the preseason, whatever your preference is.

Give me death.

Standard “it’s almost time for training camp” story.

Dang!

Romo is just an all-around athlete. Maybe Bo Jackson should back for a “Romo Knows” commercial.

Romo knows football.
Romo knows golf.
Romo knows basketball.
Romo knows soccer.
Romo knows the pages of US magazine.
Romo knows to stay away from Britney.
Romo knows how to handle bad snaps.

Anybody want to continue this?

That #38 sure can hit!

Romo knows how to carry a tune?

Eh… maybe not

Romo knows how to sustain a career longer than Bo!

And Grizz

At this point, I’m so desperate for some NFL action, I just might take the AZ/NO game over death. I just might.

Not working very well, but there has been some entertaining games on. They had the USC vs. UT national championship game on last night, that game was money..

I watch most of the NFL Replays.

Even the Dallas losses they’ve been showing the past few weeks. I also TiVo some other games to prep/scout for Fantasy.

That #38 sure can hit!

FanShots

hey, something kind of cool I discovered about FanShots, FYI…

Click on Manage FanPosts in the top right area (top left from the home page), then click on the FanShots tab, and there’s a “Share on SB Nation” button that says “Drag this button to your Bookmarks Bar to quickly post FanShots to SB Nation.”

So this is the cool part… Once you have that in your bookmarks, when you are at a page you want to post as a FanShot, first highlight the section that you want to quote or use as the description in the link, then choose that Share with SB Nation bookmark, and the selected text is automatically filled in as a quote. Click the Link tab and it automatically becomes the description. And the URL and title are automatically filled in as well.

so anyway, that’s a neat trick so you don’t even have to cut and paste, and can do a fan post in just a few seconds.

If others weren’t aware of that, hopefully this will encourage you, when you see things you’d like to share that aren’t worth FanPosts, to use the FanShots more often….
