I just listened to the press conference. Coach Parcells just said something that just floored me.

The media was focusing in on Tony Romo (surprise, surprise). One person (I think it was Steve Dennis) referenced the book on Johnny Unitas in Romo's locker. So he brought that up to Coach Parcells.

Coach then went onto say how Tony asks him about the great players back in yesterdecades. He, Romo, wants to know what made them so successful.

Tony speciaically asked Coach Parcells about Red Blaike (the legendary coach at Army and had guys like Vince Lombardi and Sid Gillman as assistants).

See people, THIS is what will make Tony Romo successful! I absolutely LOVED that when I heard he is so concerned over the NFL's heritage.

I love stuff like this. Is there anything better than when a young player respects the foundation success was built upon?

I guess this is what BP means when he talks about there being certain players who "leave no stone unturned."

Romo is saying and doing all the right things to suggest he's true student of the game. He knows this is a one in a lifetime opportunity and it appears he's doing everything he can to become successful.

Whether he becomes successful remains to be seen but from what we're seeing and reading, it appears he truly loves and embraces the game.

Absolutely agree with this analogy. Seems to be a forgotten, shall I say, value.

Tony wants to be the greatest ever. I have no problem with that.

I was very pleased to read a few weeks ago how Romo is such a student of the game, putting in above and beyond hours watching film and how he read the Tom Brady/Patriots book.

Hmm, I wouldn't mind if he repeated Joe Montana's history :D

So you're saying she's the offensive genius behind our 3 game winning streak and 4 out of 5 offensive explosion?

Link?

I think it is exactly what will make Romo so successful. Not what he's reading but the whole mindset that causes him to go above and beyond.
