Tony Romo, who had a sick day yesterday, has reported to Valley Ranch and will practice today.

"I feel like 100 dollars," Romo said as he walked by reporters.

I'm not sure exactly what that means coming from a guy with a $67.5 million contract. Romo showed outstanding burst by scooting into the coaches' offices before anybody could fire off a follow-up question.

Wade Phillips, showing off that wry sense of humor of his, vowed to make Romo practice double today to make up for missing yesterday. Phillips doesn't expect TE Jason Witten (ankle) to practice today. He wasn't sure about RB Marion Barber (toe), who had limited participation in yesterday's workout.


Romo’s Status Improving; Expected To Practice

After missing Wednesday’s practices because of an illness, quarterback Tony Romo returned to Valley Ranch Thursday and was expected to practice later in the day.

Head coach Wade Phillips said the Cowboys’ training staff has been keeping tabs on Romo and monitoring his health. Romo might not be 100 percent currently, but has been progressing to the point where his status for Sunday’s game is not in question.

Romo did walk by a group of reporters before the team meeting, kept his head down but did say, rather sarcastically, “I’m feeling great. I feel like a hundred bucks.”

For a guy that just signed a $67.5 million contract last year, that doesn’t seem like a lot.

That doesn't sound very good, since you are supposed to say you feel like a million $.

A hundred bucks. :laugh2:

Maybe he just got done reading this forum?

Who cares if Romo is 100%. He is terrible. Here's a guy who is making 60 million, takes no blame anything and casts blame on the o -line and coaches. Sorry...but Romo is the next JP Lossman. Call Bledsoe.. at least he has the balls to answer tough questions, doesn't ***** and will stay IN THE POCKET!. Put Romo on another team with lesser talent (recievers) and he is second string. 3 years now....I thought the QB change was the answer.....good grief!

There have been rumors of players checking this board in particular.

Maybe a more seasoned member of the zone could elaborate.

Ive been pretty critical of Romo's latest performances but this just made me bust out laughing at how stupid this is.

100 live Bucks, 100 dead Bucks, or 100 Milwaukee Bucks.....

I guess we really are suffering from sever deflation. does this mean gas prices will go even lower?

 

[VietCowboy]

100 bucks is 1.7 MILLION Dong (vietnamese currency).

 

[Gemini Dolly]

He must feel like crap. Just 100 bucks?

 

[Hailmary]

They have to practice on Christmas day? I guess the money these guys are making, it's expected of them, but sux for their friends and families...especially the little ones.

I'd probably be inclined to look if I was a player.

I wonder if any of them have ever posted an argument in their defense. :laugh2:
