T Time - Romo Picks Golf Over Media

Although quarterback Tony Romo was expected to chat with reporters after Sunday’s second practice – and he still might – he made a beeline into the locker room to do something he likes much better than talking to the media: Golf.

Rumor has it, Romo is inside watching the end of the PGA Championship, which is shaping up to be quite a battle to the end between Tiger Woods and Y.E. Yang.

We’ll see if Romo returns for a little face time.

Crayton, Austin Swap Jerseys

We must be nearing the end of camp, because Patrick Crayton and Miles Austin tried to break up the monotony by trading practice jerseys in Sunday's afternoon practice.

Austin wore Crayton's No. 84. Crayton wore Austin's No. 19. Neither player inherited the other's skills, though, and quarterback Tony Romo didn't bite on the switch.

"He's going to throw it to the open guy regardless," Austin said. "At the end of the day we've both got to be open. We just did it to joke around a little bit. We kind of came up with it together."

The confusion will end Monday, Austin said.

Is it wrong of me to say I'm kind of glad Romo blew them off like that?

I look forward to the crybabies' reaction.

Good to see the players having some fun in camp...

oh and Miles, stay healthy please.

Seriously, I totally agree. I'd sneak out too if I was in their shoes.

I hope he wasn't rooting for Tiger.

I am still in shock that Tiger blew it.

Oy...Anybody wanna bet that Bayless jumps on this and rants about Romo's lack of football focus? haha

I am still in shock that Tiger blew it.

He did not blow anything, finally someone had the baalls to not wilt. Great shots at 14 and 18 by Yang- he won it!

Romo More Than A Tiger Fan Now
Posted by nickeatman

While a crowd of reporters waited (mostly impatiently) for Tony Romo to return to the practice field for an interview, the Cowboys quarterback was inside the locker room. He had found a TV and was glued to the set, rooting for Tiger Woods to pull out the PGA Championship.
While it wasn’t to be for Woods on this day, Romo finally made his way out to the field and spoke to the media, discussing the difference between pulling for the best golfer in the world, and now someone he calls a friend.

“It doesn’t happen very often, especially with a 54-hole lead,” Romo said of Tiger Woods losing in a Major after controlling most of the tournament. “But that’s sports. It can happen to everyone.”

Romo and Tiger Woods played a round of golf together back on July 1 during a Pro-Am at Tiger’s golf tournament. Romo said he has met the golf icon a few times in the past and has learned to appreciate more about Tiger Woods than just his ability on the links.

“You watched as a fan before. Now you get out there and root form someone that you know the effort and time and things . . . you appreciate it,” Romo said. “You just root for the guy. Not only is he a genuine person, but he’s also a great athlete and great competitor. He played great in a lot of areas, but the other guy played great, too.”

Tiger played great for such a hard course. He did although lucked out on some of his puts. Yang's eagle on 14th? sealed the deal.

His new gimmick is to toot the Cowboys horn now. Anti TO is one of his main agendas and has to not waver on saying the Cowboys are better without him. He has been on Martellus Bennett though.
