Cowboys playoff choker Tony Romo should be ashamed not proud of his seven-hour-round

[bbgun]

I see "sportsanalyzer" is writing under a pen name.

Factually inaccurate... so I am ok with it.

Fact is we lost both playoff games by a TOTAL OF FOUR points. Tony didnt make any CRUCIAL QB mistakes in either of those games.

Game 1 - was not on Tony's QB play... it could be argued that it was the holding play... its debateable.

Game 2 - only missed TO on a cross into endzone... yeah it would have been nice to make.... but it didnt cost them the game. The bottom line in that game is... the 2nd to last play of game TONY NEEDED to make a gamewinning play and HE DID... you guys know the rest of that play/story.

I will say... if in a year or two we have gone and lost again in playoffs... then this guy will be right... but right now its just SPEW

That quite possibly might have been one of more useless articles I have ever read.

Golf is not a sport. Yet, this imbecile thinks he can define "choker"?

And someone who blogs--about golf?

:laugh2:

I really hope nobody is clicking on this guys site to give him some hits.

Tony Romo is a monster, seven hours for one round!! |What a scumbag, when Jerry hears about this he will be off the team. I am so disgusted right now.

...I don't think he realizes how much of a grueling test it is for anyone let alone Romo to suffer through a 7 hour round.

I think Tony did his part to promote the game of golf and give the cancer victim his day in the sun.

How can you praise Timberlake and then rag on Romo? Was Tony hogging the camera lens?

Sheesh!

Chris Baldwin, you are the example of what is wrong with internet blogging.

Like he's any different from numerous newspaper sports writers out there. He's the example of what's wrong with people who state opinions with very little facts or logic and with an obvious vendetta.

Sure, he could've played 2 1/2 rounds....of course he's playing by himself while they were in a foursome.

You had four guys playing with the lowest score being Romo's...an 84....and the second lowest being a score of 98. Factoring in that and that it was a celebrity tournament...I'd say that it's probably going to take 6 hours to play.

Sounds like Baldwin is jealous that he didn't get to play the course.

Not for most of us. You hit the ball, you lose the ball, then you drop a new ball and tell everyone you found the ball.

Then you hit it and lose it again and quickly run out of new balls.

Then you peruse the driving range for range balls and then hit one of those and lose it, only to drop a new one and tell everyone you found it.

Yes, I suck at golf.

Yawn!

NEVER has a crazy cowboy post said so much

I'd much rather play with you cheating than some idiot actually trying to find his ball all day.

I have played Torrey Pines. You can go there on any given weekend and the best you can hope for is to be done in 5 to 5-1/2 hours. Not really sure what this guys angle is but I know he has one. Commander fan maybe?

A good portion of the follow-along-with-anything mainstream golf media has gone gaga over the Dallas Cowboys’ playoff-choking specialist Tony Romo shooting an 84 at Torrey Pines in supposed U.S. Open conditions. What’s gone largely unnoticed though is that it took Romo nearly seven hours to play his round and record that 84.

Seven hours for a round in which the foursome of Romo, real celebrity (and all-around good golf guy) Justin Timberlake, news reader Matt Lauer and courageous regular guy John Atkinson basically had the course to themselves. Sure, there were NBC TV cameras there and maybe they had to wait a few times for the TV guys, but nearly seven freaking hours to play one round of golf? A round in which Romo had nothing on the line except his seemingly unquenchable desire to make a public spectacle of himself?

And people get on PGA Tour guys for playing slow? At least, they’re playing for a living. Romo’s out there, trying to make sure that everyone knows he once dated - or is still dating (who cares either way) Jessica Simpson, hoping they caught him singing - ok, that’s the wrong word for it - Take Me Out to the Ballgame at Wrigley Field and just genuinely pleading for people to notice him for something besides his great playoff choke jobs.

Tony Romo didn’t do something great by shooting a birdie-less 84. He set golf back nearly 100 years by showing the worst of the game - some self-important gasbag who thinks his every meaningless putt is for the Masters turning golf into an endless crawl. Yeah, great 84. Maybe if you took 16 hours, you could have shaved it down to a 79.

Are you kidding? Almost seven hours for a celebrity golf exhibition.

I could play two and half rounds on that U.S. Open tricked-up Torrey Pines in that same time span Romo spent trying to catch a reflection of himself on one of those TV cameras. Sure I’d shoot a 125, 114, losing about 54 balls in the kikuyu grass rough, but I guarantee you my playing partners would appreciate the pace a lot more than an afternoon with someone like the turtle Romo.

And don’t try to tell me that Justin Timberlake slowed the group down. I’ve seen Timberlake play golf and he doesn’t take himself too seriously. He understands he’s there to entertain people - many who don’t care at all about golf. No, there is only one prima donna in that foursome. And I don’t think it’s the regular guy fighting lung cancer.

Shame on you Romo. You’re not just the author of two of the NFL’s greatest gag jobs ever - the Bill Buckner muffed extra point hold and the fling-the-ball-everywhere freeze up vs. the Giants. You are the example of all that’s wrong with golf: A guy who’s so self important that he ruins the game for every other group on the course.

From another post...

His own personal gallery included an estimated 60 people, family and friends from his hometown of Omaha, who spent the six hours, 15 minutes it took the foursome to complete the round loudly encouraging his every swing. So did the the celebrities in his group and their caddies, who included Greg Norman (looping for Lauer) and Butch Harmon (working for Timberlake).

Seems like numb nuts can't tell time either...

I would disagree about golf not being a sport. To play well you have to play everyday in general. But I don't want to distract from the lunacy of the article. I am a little jealous that someone could get paid to do that tribble.

That's not cheating... I thought it was allowed. [/Belichick]
