Fraley is a moron, what the hell does he know

He’s just some fat reporter who never played football or any other sport in his life.

In Romo we Trust

It gets even more vitriolic here:

http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/dallas-cowboys/headlines/20120220-fraley-romo-wants-accoutrements-of-success-none-of-the-responsibility.ece

Romo, by nature of his position, should be [a leader], but he doesn’t want any part of it. He wants the accoutrements of success but none of the responsibilities.

Did Romo run over this guy’s dog or something? So, organizing the workouts last year, working with the WRs on his own time, playing injured, taking the blame for pretty much everything that goes wrong and never complaining or even really defending himself from his critics is all fun and games? Who is Fraley, and what did Romo do to put a burr up his ass? I have to assume it’s personal, or else he’s just looking to stir up a reaction. I’m guessing it’s the latter.

Haha

you get so upset. Just ignore these guys and the comments. I do. If I don’t they seriously annoy me. That’s why I like this blog :)

I dunno. I hate that kind of unfair jibber jabber, particularly from the Dallas

media. To be honest, in this case, I’m not that annoyed; it’s too outlandish to take really seriously.

1000% Agree with everything you said.

You don’t have to be a loud mouth like Ray Lewis to be a leader. If only more guys were like Tony…lead by example and keep your mouth shut to the media. Ask his players if he is a leader and I think you will find out that they think he is. Fraley is an ass.

rah rah speeches don't win games...talented football teams do

Since we have neither I guess that explains 8-8.

And the last 16 years.

Wait, something just occurred to me. Have Fraley and Montecito Tex ever

been seen in the same place at the same time? Hmmmm. :)

If there's a QB that doesn't say squat ever on the sidelines it's Eli...and how did that work out this year?

by TheCowboyFan on Feb 21, 2012 2:52 PM CST reply actions

There are different type of leaders.

The Giants themselves would tell you when Eli speaks they listen.

Gosselin: I guess he hates him also.

Gosselin : Aikman was a quiet leader. Michael Irvin was the vocal leader of that team, but Troy Aikman could go up to a teammate and get the point across. He knew when it was time to say something, and he said it. With Romo, you just don’t feel that he ever knows that time.

You guys have to stop letting the truth and facts get in the way of your belief system.

Your reminding me of Republicans. .

Ouch. That's a pretty personal take right there.

I for one am just glad Tony doesn’t lead those stupid yelling huddles that Drew Brees does (and Keith Brooking used to) haha.

If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.

I guess Gosselin hate's him also.

As I’ve said before. I like Romo. He’s got the cool gene. He just doesn’t have the leader of men genes. I kind of read him when he chose to date Jessica. To me that was just a bad move. It showed me a lot about his mentality. It showed me that he had no understanding of the position he was in. It takes a party guy to date the dumbest woman in America. To expect him to lead men is laughable.

I have a knack of reading people. Being able to tell what makes them tick.

I’ve raised more than 20 young men in North Philly. All of them have turned out to be great people and productive in society. I met two brothers that dropped out of the 7th grade. Today they run their own business. I have one who caught a drug charge right in front of me. He was the youngest of the bunch he was around 13 at the time. He got locked up on a drug charge right in front of me and they weren’t his drugs. I reached out to his mother. Testified for him court. Took him under my wing. Today he’s a millionaire.

Far as the comments by these two. i hate to say it. But I’m pretty sure you can find a couple of my posts on this site that basically said the same thing about Romo.

He’s just not a leader guys. It is what it is. Just like this team doesn’t have any leaders.

If Brady James is a leader then your team is in trouble.
