Football Humor
So I've not been able to keep with football (nor has Chip) as much as we'd like since the arrival of our precious daughter but I did happen to catch this article by Jason Whitlock about Dallas QB Tony Romo and T.O. - I have nothing against Dallas, other than they aren't San Diego :) but I found this to be very well written and fit my sense of humor fabulously! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and even get a chuckle or two out of it!
Tony Romo is starting to develop quite the reputation: big-game choke artist.
His three-interception afternoon against the Pittsburgh Steelers sparked a couple of friends to text me disparaging remarks about Jessica Simpson's boy toy.
"Romo most overrated QB in history!"
"Don't get Romo hype. Sucks"
I like Romo and have a theory that he's just the latest talented QB to be undermined by a dysfunctional, bipolar relationship with Terrell Owens. It's just a theory. I'm not ready to swear to it.
But T.O. and his sideline histrionics wear on a quarterback. He's like the hot stripper you tried to clean up and convert into a real girlfriend. It's a lot of fun until the moment she has her second drink while out to eat with your parents. You unravel quicker than she does.
Romo appears to come unglued in December when the outcomes meant the most.
In three seasons as Dallas' starter, Romo's numbers the final four games of the regular season and playoffs are rather revealing. The Cowboys are 3-8 in those games. Romo has tossed 12 TDs and 15 INTs. His completion percentage drops to 58, a full six points lower than his career average.
Throw in his fumbled PAT snap in the Seattle playoff loss - his first season as a starter - and it's easy to argue that Romo struggles in the clutch.
It's probably unfair, but I blame T.O. The environment he creates with all of his ranting and raving is not one conducive to consistent QB play. Can we agree that Joe Montana was the best big-game QB in NFL history? Do you remember Jerry Rice acting like a deranged idiot on the sideline?
You can't turn T.O. into a housewife.
