Clayton: Tony Romo to judge Miss Universe contest

[dogunwo]

Well, you can say countdown all you want, count me in as one who gets tired of seeing this stuff. It is obviously his business as to what he does with his off season and his free time in general, but I just think he likes the "perks" of being the Cowboys QB a little too early on the job. He isn't Dan Marino yet. I would much prefer that he be concentrating on football.

Well, those are the perks with being QB of the Dallas Cowboys. He isnt Dan Marino, but Dan wasnt a Cowboys, so it took longer for him to earn it. Romo is actually playing WELL, he isnt testaverde or QC.

 

[theogt]

and who were the judges? : )

Straight men, I'd assume.

 

[dogunwo]

That guy is out of Football because he failed at his job.

Excellent post

Do "attention-seeking" activities take away from his concentration moreso than non "attention-seeking" activities?

Or is this some problem you're alluding to that has nothing to do with his performance on the field?

As I noted earlier -- it isn't a problem YET. Could it develop into a problem? It sure as hell could.

Frankly we don't know if this had an impact on his performance or not. I do know that he started becoming very popular about the time his performance dropped off -- now we could argue back and forth with no resolution as to whether or not one caused the other. However, completely discounting the possibility that his high profile dating etc. affected his focus would be silly.

Five bucks says if Romo struggles even a little bit that this all comes back up and of course it will be a huge problem.

I'm just a little silly, then.

On second thought, if he dated ugly women there'd be less of an effect. Wade and Jerry should get on this ASAP. Only ugly women for players.

I say we cut Romo and get a eunuch as the QB for the Cowboys. Maybe that would make some people happy?

 

[DallasEast]

Let's get this thread back on a more palatable topic, please. Last year's winner.

Was there a pic here? Darn, I missed it. HOSTILE!!!

I wonder if the MC will ask any questions during the contest? Maybe he or she will ask Romo: "Which lady do you think is more beautiful: our winner or American Idol's Carrie Underwood?"

I would love to see the look on Romo's face as he pondered that one.

 

[zrinkill]

This is amazing ...... some of these guys have "concerns" with Romo judging a 2 hour contest, on his free time, 4 months before the season starts?

Is that about right?

I do not think I can stress "<>" enough .......

Are you out of your mind. Eunuchs can play the evil game of golf.

Quadripalegic eunuchs that hibernate during the off-season?

Clearly you are focusing on the wrong aspect here -- it isn't how hot the girl is -- it is how badly Romo wants to get on camera with the hot girl that concerns me. You know it still counts if you hit it and not everyone knows about it.

OK...you and Hostile totally lost me on this "eunuchs golf" thing?




I read the book "Tennis Without Balls" by Billy Jean King, but I don't know nothing about this golf thing...

Tony, you are officially enjoying your new-found celebrity a little too much. I don't remember Troy or Roger having this many hobbies, even when they were at the top of their game--which you're not. Time to rein it in a bit.

Like most things in life, it's 10% about the experience and 90% about the bragging rights. The former lasts for...well...a little while. The latter lasts a life time.

Dandy Don probably did 10 times the amount of things that Troy, Roger and Tony (in his lifetime) combined would ever do.

Troy also dated and I believe was in a movie during his playing days.

Troy Aikman dated Lorrie Morgan in 1993 and was rumored to be dating Sandra Bullock and Janine Turner

Was named eligible Bachelor from Texas Monthly

Was on an episode of Coach in 1993

Was in the movie Jerry Maguire in 1996

Also was in King of the Hill and Simpsons

and all this was before the internet days ......

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I agree.

Call me a sourpuss too if you want, but it's not that he isn't living in an office at Valley Ranch -- that's not the point. Of course these guys need some down time. But it's almost as if he's already accomplished something. The truth is, he hasn't.

going undrafted to the starting QB of America's Team counts as something

 

[Bob Sacamano]

And your point is? Do you wish to engage what I'm saying, or what you would make me out to be saying?

I'll say it again. I don't mean that he is to live, breath, eat, and drink football. I mean, I want a guy who loves the game more than he loves the perks that come to him because of the game. I want a guy who understands how important this season is, both FOR HIM, and for this team. I want a guy who understands he is at the doorstep of a great possibility both for himself and for his team, so that what is uppermost in his mind is not beauty contests and the latest celebrity party, but being a great QB and leading his team to a great year. I want a guy who knows what Lab already pointed out, "I haven't really done anything yet."

So, I'm not saying 100% football, I'm saying, understand what is right in front of you and do everything in your power to make sure you make the most of it on the football field.

And I'm also admitting that ALL OF THIS MAY ALREADY BE THE CASE! He may have his mind in the exact right place. Goodness, I know I don't know the guy. I haven't had a single conversation with him. EVER.

All I was saying is that when I keep hearing about some party he has attended, or some beauty contest he's judging, it concerns me as a Cowboys fan.

Is that allowable?

dude, Henson's not coming back, get over it

Oh thats what this is all about ........

Hey I liked Henson too ...... but he is gone and we got Romo .....
