Does Troy secretly resent Romo's success?

[bbgun]

I think a small part of him enjoys the fact that they've gone through so many guys trying to replace him. Then he calls him "Tony Roma" on Thanksgiving. How can you get that wrong? It ain't "Houshmandzadeh."

 

[theogt]

Absolutely not. The only TV personality that gushes more over Tony than Troy is Michael.

Of course, he is an icon of this franchise, and it makes him giddy when year after year, they continue to look for his replacement.

I would be a bit upset over Romo's success also if I was in Aikman's shoes.

Aikman has an ego, just like every superstar athlete, or former athlete.

Uh, I think a guy with three Super Bowl rings probably isn't jealous of a kid with four lifetime wins.

 

[superpunk]

Troy wishes he could be speculated about with jessica. He probably speculates about himself with Jessica. I know I do.

 

[cowboyz]

the only media guy not on the romo bandwagon is wilbon, who is probably the biggest cowboy hater, the guy refuses to give romo any props at all.

Oh I don't know. It's human nature to think others can't survive without you, whether it's a team or ex-girlfriend.

Yeah, but he’s dating Jessica (BobbleHead) Simpson.

With all due respect, I sometimes wonder what you guys pay attention to? Did you LISTEN to Aikman talk about Romo? Didn't sound like an ounce of jealousy to me.

 

[BeastfromtheEast]

JW do you guys like Aikman as an announcer?

Personally Im not sure I like any announcer, but I honestly cannot stand the MNF announcers, I can't stand ESPN period

Troy is as vain as the rest of us. His uniqueness would be compromised if Romo succeeds. Nor am I one of those morons who posts "Troy hates Dallas!" every time he says something critical of the team on Fox. I'm just saying he's human.

 

[superpunk]

Quick....someone accuse sunshine of being a skins fan....

 

[Dale]

Wow, I got the exact opposite impression.

To me, Troy was gushing left and right over Romo -- all game. He sounded PROUD to have Romo associated with him.

It wouldn't surprise me if a part of him is glad he was so difficult to replace. It must make him feel that much more important, and understandably so.

With that said, he sounds to me like a guy who is very happy that Tony Romo is the guy that appears to be next in line. Every time I've heard Troy talk about him, he's been one of the guy's biggest cheerleaders.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Troy said that our QB search ended w/ Romo

'nuff said

sorry, couldn't find my mind-reader device, so I had to resort to plain ole reason

Of course he is jealous, who wouldn't want to sleep with "Jessica Simpson"---DUHHHH. What an ignorant statement. I am jealous of ROMA, ROMO, HOMO because he is dating a "RICH" dumb blonde, thats every man's dream. Its OK Troy, Its not a reason to hate a **'er, But I understand.

That's his public face. I used the word "secretly" for a reason.
