It's Tony Romo Day on ESPN

I'm flipping through the channels on TV when I come across SportsCenter on ESPN. They now show the upcoming stories on the left-hand side of the screen and the next story listed was Tony Romo. Hmm, Tony Romo news? So I stuck around. I thought it was going to be about the chat he held yesterday that Aaron summarized. Or maybe his paring with Tiger in a golf tournament. When the story finally arrived, there was a picture of Romo and T.O. on the screen. Uh oh, what happened now?
I should have known, suckered by ESPN once again.
The anchor started off with the ominous; it's been a drama-filled offseason for the Cowboys once again. Really? And here I was thinking that this is the most boring offseason I've seen from the Cowboys in a while (excepting the practice 'bubble' collapse). On the drama scale, I'd rank this offseason somewhere between a session of Transcendental Meditation and taking a nap while vacationing at a tropical beach. But I figured T.O. or Romo had really stepped in it somehow, since SportsCenter was hyping a conflict.
Turns out, it was Tony Romo taking a kid from the Starlight Foundation to a Yankees game. The kid is battling leukemia and this was his wish. ESPN, at least, did mention this fact and aired a question from everybody's favorite Ed Werder about it with a Romo reply. But we quickly moved to Werder asking Romo about T.O.'s comments on leadership last week. Romo didn't take the bait, chided Werder and the press about misinterpreting what people say, especially T.O., and that he hadn't seen the comment so he's not going to comment. He then went on to praise T.O.'s abilities. All with that "I think you're a total rat" grin on his face while Werder looked for a money quote.
And that was that. Some drama.
Romo also discussed his girlfriend and the idea that he was bottom-heavy. His response to the out-of-shape issue:
"That's just for other people to talk about. All you can do is put your head down and go to work each day and try to achieve. It's all about just trying to achieve a goal and working hard to do it."
Romo is all over SportsCenter this morning. Videos are below so make the jump. BTW, the clip below with the Werder interview is not the same anchor lead-in that I saw this morning.

They took a good story(romo helping terminal children) and tried to get Romo to say something bad about TO. Shameless. Someone should buy stuart scott a pair of sunglasses

Romo is in shape
As I mentioned in another post, I witnessed Romo playing golf with Tiger firsthand this morning. I’ll post pics later today. But I can say that those two hung out most of the day, and Romo looked pretty damn fit standing next to Tiger, who, as we all know, is renowned for keeping in fantastic shape. If anything, Romo just looked taller and more muscular than Tiger. He definitely did not look as lame as this loser:

looked more muscular than Tiiger???!!!!
As Romo’s biggest fan, I even find that hard to believe as Tiger is probably one of the more fit and chiseled athletes on the planet. He routinely benches over 300 lbs and is by far and away the strongest golfer on tour.
However, I guess that just proves the pear shaped comments by Tex are nothing but absolute nonsense and anyone who wasn’t a Romo hater knew that.

Sorry DavidH22
That simply doesn’t comport with other opinions about Romo’s conditioning, opinions based on things like rumor, innuendo and speculation. You’ll need to come up with something better than close personal obeservation to be convincing. A quote from the National Enquirer, perhaps.

Here are a couple more pics of him.
He doesn’t look chunky to me, but also is probably not in peak shape like he will be after training camp. The writer had a funny line about the first pic, that Romo instinctively threw the ball to the safety and fell down because someone touched him.

Ed Turder strikes again
I like how Romo refused to take the bait, he is not going to get into a cross-state word exchange with TO, because both TO and the msm would love that. That kind of situation would become a distraction and would also upset the players that still like TO so Romo needs to take the high road to avoid creating a distraction and to show the guys that still like TO that he is focused on the team not what TO is talking about. I also think that Romo was honest with his statements about TO, he could have been sarcastic or thrown in a few honest jabs about how TO was in the huddle. I think that by Romo being honest and completmentary he makes the TO vs. Romo a one sided argument, leaving TO to muddy the water. I also think that the players who still like TO will see that Romo is not going to degrade or down-play TO’s ability or talent. Of couse, this is only the begining, once the season starts the attention from the msm will shift to whichever side is struggling.

Yeah, obviously I was being sarcastic.
My whole point, is that it shouldn’t matter what someone is doing in their off-off time if they are still doing their job on a week to week basis and working hard at it.
If Romo was playing video games at his house and NO one knew about it, but was trying his best to become the best Halo player of all time, no one would be saying anything because the press doesn’t report it.
It’s just stupid that we are having entire blogs that were being taken over by debates on Romo playing golf. In a league that is swarmed by people beating up women, doing drugs, and vicious cycle of stupidity, are we really hung up on the fact that a trys to qualify for the US Open, in the OFFseason? An offseason where apparently he’s seen at Valley Ranch practicing with Roy Williams and doing things all year long?
Its all about perspective I guess.

he was consistently shot-for-shot with Tiger, at least distance-wise on the drives especially. Tony did find the beach 3 or 4 times, but got out of them easily. One one chip shot from about 30 yards off the green, the ball landed about 20 feet past the pin, and spun back to about six inches. The crowd erupted, it was awesome.

Yup, the kid wanted to meet Romo…and so did Tiger. He invited Romo, and was excited to meet Tony. BTW, J. Simp was looking fine and tasty too. Tony’s a winner, has a killer RICH girlfriend, Supterstars, and regular folks alike want to meet him. Romo is the real deal on every level. Oh, and one more thing. Polish your glasses. The dude looks like a linebacker in those photos. I’m just sitting back and waiting for Tony to prove he can still torch this league without the incredible human mouth.

At one point
someone in the gallery yelled to Tiger “Hey Tiger why don’t you get a Redskin to play with you next year?” Everybody broke out in laughter and Tiger grinned. But like the ESPN clip above observed, Jason Campbell played today but apparently Tiger chose Romo, and there were many Romo #9 jerseys on the course following Tiger around. I did not see a single Redskins jersey. Maybe they showed up after I left at 10am to get back to work. Most Redskins fans probably don’t have anything better to do on a weekday afternoon.
Like I said earlier, for the 12 holes that I observed today, Romo and Tiger were hanging out on the fairways and on the greens for about 95% of the time, to the exclusion of the other people in their foursome (House Minority Leader John Boehner and some dude I’ve never heard of), laughing and clearly having a good time. It appeared to me that they were two professional athletes around the same age and who each have enjoyed success in their respective fields (obviously, Tiger much much more success in his), so they liked hanging out together. Oh, and both are banging hot blondes.

Tiger photo comparison
Great string today, guys…hey, just for grins I went back to compare photos of Tiger now and three years ago – I know you don’t want to hear this, but, holy smokes, he has a completely different physique now – he HAS to be on the juice or something…simply not possible with all his travel and ridiculuous schedule. Seems to me the PGA wanted to introduce performance enhancing drug testing but it got nixed.

Except that...
Everywhere he travels, I’m sure he has gyms at his disposal.
He’s not steroids big, he’s c reatin and working out big.
Plus he had like half a year where all he was doing was working out while he was hurt. I don’t want to turn this into a golf thread, but that’s just silly speculation that really has nothing to back it up.
it was weird, I... I mean you probably didn't hear about it because I went under the name of Mike Honcho. But I just wanted you to know that. If you can hear me, if it got into your brain somehow. That I spread my buttcheeks as Mike Honcho.

No way he got up to 185
WITHOUT THE JUICE! It’s a physical impossibility.

some guy at the golf tournament had a shirt that said "Romo wasnt built in a day."
I hadnt heard or seen one of those.

butt shot
You can tell this is a boring off-season when we are all looking for shots of Tony’s butt or with his shirt off….
(On a serious note, I would point out that this yet another story that shows he is still a classy, down-to-earth guy who cares about others.)
And another story that reminds me how grateful I am for the internet and blogs (this one in particular) so I don’t have to rely on the swill that the mediots at ESPN produce.

I think you are right
But isn’t it amazing how much crap the guy has to take?

Yeah
one thing I like about Tony is that more than being a great football player an athlete, he’s also a great guy and that’s clearly evident.

I commend Romo
Let’s hope he doesn’t take the kids out to a game where he’s playing. Who knows how more sick the poor kids would get.

Hmmm.
I would have went with something like, “I heard Romo collapsed after the 7th inning stretch.” Or, “Romo was supposed to take a Cowboys fan, but that kid intercepted him.”
Anyway, it’s stories like this that make you remember how much cooler our QB is than most other teams’.

Werder is like a tattle tale running between people trying to get them to
dish dirt on each other. We get it; TO is an ass who keeps saying he’s not going to dis his old team anymore and then does it anyway. ESPN and Werder are the freaking National Enquirer of sports for reporting that crap and giving TO the attention he desperately craves. It’s the only reason he keeps shooting his mouth off. If people ignored his words, he’d find some other way to make a fool of himself and leave the Cowboys alone .
