I stand all amazed and salute.

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.

Coach Parcells talked about how some of his most successful players were students of NFL history and tried to get as much out of the heritage as possible.

This is one thing we know DeMarcus Ware isn't doing. He didn't even know who Charles Haley was when he first arrived in Dallas.

That's interesting?

Although it is nice, I dont think this fact will make or break a player.

not to burst a bubble but parcels said tony didn't even know who red blaik was.

I heard it that way and confirmed it on a transcript of the pc.

"Did you give Romo the Johnny Unitas book in his locker? I didn't give him the Unitas book, but he wants to know about his predecessors. Some players are like that. Ask Pepper Johnson, ask about players from the 50's or 60's. He'll line them up one after another. Some guys are interested in their predecessors. I, as a coach, wanted to know about other coaches, guys like George Halas and Bud Wilkinson. So I read about them. Tony will come to me after reading the book then ask me about these guys because I know them. He asked about Lombardi at West Point. About Red Blaik, he didn't even know who that was. That's a pretty interesting coaching tree, with Lombardi and Sid Gilman."

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

Simply answered, NO.

I wonder if he's ever rolled dice in Vegas....

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.

:starspin

THAT was very nicely said.

Exactly Stealth, and he had the curiosity to inquire about Red Blaike.

When your quarterback is asking thses kind of questions, it kind of gives you a good feeling.

You cannot have an abundance of love for this game without getting an idea of its history. That is what I like about Tony Romo.
