Anybody else have a better option? No team in professional football could tempt the Dallas Cowboys into having better faith in their QB. The dude is what we’re going with in ’09.

At the kickoff event tonight, after Romo was cheered, there was a bitch-ass low chorus of boos. No other player or coach was booed. Not even a little. Nobody probably has in years been booed…check me if I’m wrong. But they were uncalled for. It was a party atmosphere and little kids didn’t need real team fans cursing those obligatory jerks that are Skins fans in disguise. I deleted alot during this post. You don’t even know.

And no offense to those who were there tonight and booed—it’s understandable that you have some weird personal negative vibe with the dude. He’s just a member of the Cowboys, and by the amount of #9 jerseys I saw everywhere you might as well root for another team. He’s a Cowboy.

Eli, McNabb, Campbell, and Romo…take your pick…for this team…take your pick. I know who I’m picking.

This will be an awesome year. Great to hear the cheers for the stars: TR, MB and Felix, Rat, Ware and Witt gets a ton of love. Great to hear it for the locals: McGee, Hurd, RW, B. Williams, Bigg. I cheered the loudest (maybe some of the only cheers) for my Ducks: Igor and Siavii.
Miles seems to have his own crowd going too.

Fun stuff.

and I never saw even half the neg press for their failed number one draft pick QBs as I have seen with Romo.

This cannot be squandered. It’s gonna be a good year!!!!!!!

After the June minicamp, Romo kept a bag of footballs with him most of the time. If he was home in Burlington, Wis., he would throw passes to his father, Ramiro. If he was vacationing, he would throw passes to one of his high school buddies traveling with him. If he was alone, he would throw passes on a field by himself.

“I remember reading something Ben Hogan said, ‘The secret is in the dirt,’ " Romo said last month. “Are you willing to put in the time, the effort to grind it out year after year, day after day? If you do that, success will happen. You don’t luck your way into it. That’s all I know how to do it.”

Witten can catch! Now, it’s Chris Not-so-Cooley.

When he’s good (his level of good) he’s as good as anybody. He plays at that level most of the time. When he’s bad, it just looks like avoidable/knucklehead stuff. To me that’s the small difference between Romo and Brady and Manning. Their mistakes don’t look as bad to me.

He tells it like it is and doesn’t get caught up in the hoopla. Whenever he speaks, I always listen.

Maybe it’s a wolf, or coyote.

He rid himself of the distraction of a publicity-crazed celebrity freak (plus he broke up with Jessica)

I just got it, that was good Oskie!

Oskie has a positive feeling about Romo!

Got news for you, Romo has been working hard and doing all the right things since he became a FA in 2003 and Jessica Simpson was never, ever a distraction to his focus on football, to think otherwise is simply nonsense.

They’re both apparently really competitive and will probably have a lot of fun together.

A lot of passes looked wobbly at the end of the year last season.
Hopefully the finger’s healed and the arm is strong.

I almost went with “urinates in Cooley’s Gatorade” but then thought nah, Cooley would probably like it…

I don’t think it’s possible he could have done anymore what he has already done this off season.

when they split the sheets.

It’s just that the ones who are are very vocal and the other side of the spectrum the “I love Romo with all my heart and feel like we should probably get a room together, spoon, and in the meantime I’ll worship the shrine of him, tucked away in my closet” crowd gets so up and arms about anything said about him. (BTW that crowd is pretty exclusive), it causes scrolling debates that have maybe 30-40 % actual factual information going towards either side while the other 60 percent is based on totally subjective information like how much of a leader he is, his focus, or if he’ll ever be a great QB.

It’s entertaining.

If you think that someone is only a fan if they think that he is infallible, and that any criticism of any aspect of his game makes you a hater, then yes, there are a lot of anti-Romo fans.

If you think that wanting him to play more consistently, play better late in the season, or cut down on careless turnovers does not mean that you are saying that he is a no talent bum that should be replaced, then no, there aren’t many.

I think a lot of Cowboys fans forget how rare it is to have a QB who can actually make you competitive to win. Eli went through the same crap until the 2007 season, and so has McNabb. I think both are really good and their teams are lucky to have them.

By the way, Simms to McConkey was an excellent connection.
