FOX's call of Romo's ridiculous run


Here's how FOX's Joe Buck and Troy Aikman called Tony Romo's specatacular scramble:

Buck: The snap's over the head of Romo, and now it’s a footrace … Romo can't get on top of it. … Finally does … Will try and make something happen … Tony Romo, doing his thing … First down, Dallas … Unbelievable
(Pause as crowd goes wild)

Aikman (during replay): Andre Gurode, the center, just snaps it clean over Tony Romo’s head. Initially, Romo can’t even pick it up clean. You’ve got two defenders there trying to go for the ball as opposed to Romo. And Romo with the awareness of knowing where he’s got to go for the first down. You don't think they'll be showing this one for years to come, do you?

Buck: The legend just grew.

Aikman: [Laughs] I mean, how embarrassed right now are the St. Louis Rams?

Buck: It was a 4-yard run taking the scenic route.

"Tony Romo, doing his thing"

LOL. These types of ridiculous plays are almost expected of him now.

Greatest 4 yard run in history?

No kidding. We were looking at a 30 yard loss and end up getting 1st and ten then the TD to close out the 1st half.

I did find it funny that when asked at the post game about the play Romo said yeah that play really changed the entire game then rolled his eyes and started laughing.

Buck was great when he said,

"It was a 4-yard run taking the scenic route."

I think it was Chris Collinsworth that said, "I wonder if Tony even realizes that play really did win the game for them."

That play broke the Rams spirit.

You could see it in their faces.

I'm not sure who asked it but it was on ESPN Postgame show after the ball game. No doubt it was a big play but Romo likes to down play things he does. I do think a play like that with so much time left was not what won the game but it clearly sparked the team.

If I remember correctly since last year this is the third time he has made positive yards out of a snap over his head. If that wasn't enough, it has only happen three times that I can remember! Tony is 3-0 on high snaps!
