T.O., Romo, Uh-Oh
I know, I know, the Dallas Cowboys are America’s Team. And yeah, I also am aware that they lost the game for themselves last night with Tony Romo’s ill advised bobble at the end of the game that would have pushed “How ’bout them Cowboys?” into another round of the playoffs. Instead, once again, we see that one bad play can change the course of a history and create an on-going public nightmare for Romo because the mainstream sports media is going to show this clip for the rest of his career.
And I have no feelings, positive or negative, on the Seattle Seahawks win. I also saw Peyton Manning have a terrible game yesterday that, if his play continues at this level, is, once again, not going to get him in yet another Super Bowl and I like Peyton just fine (Vols fan here.)
But that was a cluster you-know-what last night. And although I know that people love the Cowboys just like other people love the Yankees, I couldn’t help but go “HA” because of one player having to watch the playoffs from home.
Terrell Owens, I know this wasn’t your fault last night but I can’t help but be glad that you are going to be sitting home with the rest of us, because, sir, you are an asshat. Good receiver but an asshat nonetheless.
Although it was sad that Tony Romo cried and Owens wasn’t a complete jerk at last night’s press conference, I still hope Owens puts on his Spongebob Squarepants pajamas and eats popcorn from his couch and reflect that his attitude of negative publicity is better than no publicity at all is so tedious and that you are not a rebel without a cause, but a tedious overpaid football player whose mouth has a perpetual problem of verbal diarrhea.
Let’s be frank, T.O., you are not amusing or in the least bit entertaining.
As for Romo, I’d buy him a beer if I ever met him. Sometimes those little guys that hit the big time feel-good stories don’t always have a fairy tale ending. Next year will be better because God knows it can’t get any worse for him right now.
You are most certainly right, NC. There is no way in the world that the Colts will be lucky enough to defeat the Baltimore Ravens if Peyton is that unreliable. Just imagine if the Colts’ defense hadn’t been uncharacteristically stellar yesterday to pick up the slack. Scary, isn’t it?
I normally hate the Ravens. This year, because of McNair and Mason and Rolle, and the fact that the beloved Titans didn’t make the playoffs, I’m rooting for the Ravens. I’m also pulling for the Saints in a one-time only solidarity with the poor souls in NOLA kinda deal.
But..I can’t wait for the Ravens to shut Peyton and the coltish ones down COLD. It’s OVER for the Colts…we get to see the Peyton Manning ‘face’ at the end of the game, and it will be so delicious. GO RAVENS.
btw..sorry to Kerry, Sharon, and Thomas McKenzie, but i really really hate the Cowboys. I didn’t see the game because i was listening to Slarti’s band up in Ashland City, but I was delighted on many levels by the outcome. TaTA Tuna, T.O. Tony ‘one in the ribs’ Romo…heh heh heh.
NC..you and the RQ need to see Slarti!
We want to.
He is on my list to meet this year if he’s cool with it.
And I dig good music.
Kerry Woo may be crying BooHoo, but the Squirrel Queen screams WooHoo!
I don’t hate the Cowboys. I just don’t like ‘em either.
Apathy rules for the ‘coma’s feelings on Big D.
may i just say that i love the SQ just a little bit more after her comment…(ol
She hates the Cowboys.
And he really doesn’t like Parcells as a coach. I thought he was okay as an analyst on ESPN because he kept busting everybody’s balls in a psuedo classy way but I don’t dig him on the field either.
I’ve passed your message along. She is sitting next to me on the couch.
With the Cowboys, I have such a long loyalty to this – my first NFL game that I ever saw was the Ice Bowl against the Packers – and I fell in love with the game right then and there… Nine years old and still following the Cowboys… there the great DNA from the Tom Landry years and the great Super Bowl runs with Jimmy Johnson. So love ‘em or hate ‘em, the Cowboys are too ingrained in my blood to give up on them… so that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
sorry for the goofy post errors above – I’m typing on a Mac and my comments run off to the right as the word wrap is a bit funky …
Pick a team and love them warts and all…
