RainMan;2842623 said:I hate to jump on a guy and tell him who to date and all that mumbo jumbo. But if Romo or anyone ever wonders why he receives such hate, it's because of things like this. People get tired of having a good QB, but one who has never won a playoff game, constantly shoved down their throats. And when he's constantly on the covers of magazines for dating famous women and such stuff, he enters that category.
Romo might not care what others think. And maybe that's a good thing. But there's no question things like this just bring out the hate.

I'm going to say it again: What is with the Hollywood stuff anyway? Did he fall into this because of Jessica and now he just has friends out there, or is there something about him that enjoys the place? Someone (Gemini Dolly?) said he was already going out there when he was third string, but no one noticed then. I don't know.
It's just weird to me. As much as I think Big Ben is a degenerate whose brainpower couldn't light up an LED -- and he has been photographed drunk out of his mind like an idiot several times -- at least he comes off as a tough guy, an actual football player. Jay Cutler supposedly likes to drink his fair share of beer, but it's in town in Chicago. Sure, the average guy might say "I'd jet out there all the time and hit the hotties too!!1!!", but you do have to be concerned about what your teammates think about you. IMO QBs have to especially consider the way their teammates see them because they already play a so-called "soft" position and their teammates, well, don't.
Basically, Parcells was right. You have to be a battlefield commander and not a celebrity QB. And the whole reason for that isn't because you'll know the offense or throw the ball better, it's so your teammates will have the utmost respect for you.

He's in California for a sports memorabilia event; and the ESPYs and while he's there, he going out with his buddies. He broke up with his girlfriend, which is his business. He's also an avid golfer. I just don't see the crime in it all. Maybe he should just lay low for a while, but not because he's doing anything wrong, but because everyone (media and fans) has lost their damn minds.
Chocolate Lab;2843209 said:I dunno, this almost sounds like one of those male/female things. WG and Mamacita see nothing wrong with loving the Hollywood scene and going shopping with a cute little dainty bag.
Me? I think that picture is an embarrassment and I wish I'd never seen it. Ugh.
And no, none of this means I think Tony can't play, or we're doomed, or any of that. But I still don't like it.
CL, this isn't a male/female thing. There have been a ton of "Romo's gone hollywood"-type threads to which there's almost been blood drawn in them by males and females alike.Chocolate Lab;2843209 said:I dunno, this almost sounds like one of those male/female things.

He could hook up with Britney Spears.
Gemini Dolly said:I look at it this way, I rather see pix of him shopping than getting photographed with Paris Hilton or something.
This is true. His future could be either a) rich, but crazy or b) shallow, but rich.Chief;2843257 said:Hey, at the rate he's going, they could be next.
He's not in Dallas and there are cameras. That means he is Hollywood, anti-Parcells, and evil. It never ceases to amaze me how silly people can be.Boyzmamacita;2843172 said:Maybe I'm naive, but Romo doesn't seem to be doing anything wrong.

Tony is Hollywood, will always be Hollywood, and Ive accepted that. I still believe, in spite of his celebrity lifestyle, hes still our guy to bring us a championship..or at least a darn playoff win.
