Dallas Morning News writes about TravelGolf.com Tony Romo blog, but homers forget to mention that Romo choked in yet another sport
The
Dallas Morning News wrote a blog about my blog on attention *****
Tony Romo going Woody Austin. Which proves two things.
1). That Texas’ biggest and most prominent newspaper understands who’s the recognized expert on golf, especially
celebrity golf. 2). Most newspaper sports writers really do struggle to come up with blog topics (unlike this completely non self-promoting blog for example).
Interesting how the
Dallas Morning News failed to note how Romo choked in another sport this weekend though. That’s right, it turns out that Jessica Simpson’s dimmer half doesn’t just freeze up in football when something’s big on the line. He gags in golf too.
For there’s
Tony Romo in the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship final round Sunday, shooting an even par 72, doing just enough to insure he can’t win (he finished third, behind the ancient Rick Rhoden and Dan Quinn). Remind you of any playoff games you’ve seen lately, bandwagon Boys’ fan losers?
I don’t know if character is really revealed in golf as the old saying goes, but Tony Romo’s sure was this weekend. He did everything he could to dominate the headlines (no mean feat with Green Bay’s quarterback-in-waiting-limbo Aaron Rodgers in the field) by falling into a pond and having Simpson follow him around everywhere like a lost puppy. Then when winning time came, Romo went belly up.
That’s classic Tony Romo.
This guy couldn’t win a Scrabble tournament against a 3-year-old if he was given a 500-point lead. Heck, Romo couldn’t beat a blind man in tag. (Though that blind man could probably intercept one or two of his playoff passes).
There’s a reason Tony Romo has lost every playoff game he’s ever played, including this last year when everyone knew he had the best team in the NFC.) It’s 0 for 2 and counting for Tony Romo in playoff football, set to be 0 for 3 this winter with PacMan “it’s not Adam, it’s Adam” Jones screaming at him. And it’s 0 for and counting for Romo in big celebrity golf tournaments too. You know when he’s not just playing against Matt Lauer and true class act Justin Timberlake.
Forget about
Terrell Owens crying for Tony Romo. I want to cry for TO, whose heart and guts you have to respect, for being saddled with this no-nerves choke artist.
Of course, you won’t read about any of this in those suddenly sunny-side homer
Dallas Morning News reports. Where’s Skip Bayless when you need him?
