I decided to put this together just for fun. Sort of like the Lincoln and JFK coincidences....ENJOY!!!

Tony Romo was born in San Diego, California
Tom Brady was born in San Mateo, California

The Henson Connection...

Tom Brady Supplanted Drew Henson in college.
Tony Romo Supplanted Drew Henson in the NFL.

Both Romo and Brady were preceded by Drew Bledsoe in the pros.

Tom Brady took the starting job from Drew Bledsoe on the 23rd of September.
Tony Romo took the starting job from Drew Bledsoe on the 23rd of October.
...Both were in games against their New York Division Rivals (Giants and Jets).

2007...

Tony Romo's offense is #1 in the NFL in YPG. Tom Brady's offense is 2nd.
Tom Brady's offense is #1 in the NFL in PPG. Tony Romo's offense is 2nd.
...Both teams are 5-0.

The teamates....

Brady's RB, Lawrence Maroney shared carries with Marion Barber III in College.
Romo's RB, Marion Barber now shares carries with Julius Jones in the NFL.
...Both Defenses have only allowed 1 Rushing TD this season.

Romo's #1 receiver is Terrell Owens, who is now a model citizen and great teamate.
Brady's #1 receiver is Randy Moss, who is now a model citizen and great teamate.
....Both Wrs are ranked 4th and 5th respectively is Career Receiving TDs.

The useless comparison.....

The names "Tony Romo" and "Tom Brady" have eight letters.

The Montana connection...

Tom Brady, as a child, enjoyed watching Joe Montana.
Joe Montana, as an adult, enjoys watching Tony Romo.
...None of the 3 QBs were highly coveted in the NFL draft.

Here's a couple of the links I used to compile the info....

What did Montana tell you?
Romo: He actually said I enjoy watching you. Any time a guy like that says something like that, there are very few times I sit back and go 'Wow,' but that was one of them. I thought that was really amazing.

LOL...Or how about this one...

Romo protects his girlfriend from pregnancy.

Brady protects himself by running away when his girlfriend gets pregnant.

BTW..Thanks for the props guys...This took awhile to put together. Much appreciated.

Great one...Forgot about that. Perfect, thanks!

Yeah Superpunk, Brady's chin looks like the cartoon "The Family Guy"....Looks like his chin belongs somewhere else. :laugh2: Could go in the look-alike thread.

Montana's last game in a 49er uniform was the 1992 NFC championship game loss to the Cowboys.

Dude, the term "Ice Water" is horrible! You would get made fun of in school and likely catch a beat down for being.... Well, you know.
