1) No dating
I did not say no dating, but when football season is on, you dont have time for that as a pro player, You are paid a ton on money, when OTAs, and training camp is there, no dating, period. We all know how or you should what lawrence taylor said once, he and his teammates would send girls to players hotel rooms the night before the game to zap them. Even Tom Brady told Romo once, dont bring your girlfriend to the game, period. YOU need to concentrate on football, not tryinng to impress your gf at the stadium or be thinking about her when your in a big game, etc. Even Nate Newton said, when traning camp is on, no time for gfs, even troy aikman didnt do that. Now as far as fridays, and weekend during OTAs, that time is the players, thats his free time, but when OTAs and training camp is there, thats footbal time., periodEven nate newton said for the players on 4th and long, no dating during this time frame. Period!
2) if you do date it must not be a celebrity
No way did i say such a silly thing that a football player couldnt date whom he wanted. Thats his business, in fact I dont want to know whom he is dating or whom he is seeing on is weekends, etc, thats his business, no one elses.
3) must win SB your second year as starter or your a bust
Lets see now, Romo has been playing since 2006, so thats 2006, 2007, 2008, romo has played, before that, romo was with the team when was he signed as a free agent? 2003 Folks, 2003, now how many years is that since he has been with the cowboys? Can you say 5 years, not counting this year? Thats more then enough time to be ready. Staubach was ready to play when he came from overseas by 1971, since he came to the cowboys in 1969. Now how many years is that folks? thats 3 years and staubach was ready and took the cowboys to a super bowl in 1971. Enough said!
4) cant own a boat I dont care what kind of boat romo gets, I dont care if he buys 10 boats, thats his business.
5) cant golf in the offseason Not during OTAs, period! Now on fridays and weekends during otas thats romos free time, thats his but not during week of otas.
6)must play with broken hand I never said romo had to play with a broken hand, that just plain silly to think i said that.
7)must speak to every reporter then be criticized if you dont say something to satisfy everyone If romo has one fault, its talking too long to reporters, hostile posted something about romo when he was hurt after the phily game, he kept talking even when the bus was ready to go. Again, I never said that romo must speak or be critized to or from reporters. My issue is too many irons in the fire, when he is paid a ton of money to win championships, not doing something else when football is going on.
8)must go to sideline after every series and do nothing but stand looking at print outs smiling .....scratch that ..cant smile it looks like you dont take your job seriously......but if you dont smile then you arent into the game having fun
Again, i never said he cant smile or look at every print out, but doesnt it make sense, he would or should want to look at a print out, when a coach tries to show it to him? If he doesnt want to look at it, why? Thats the wrong attitude to me?
9) must make hudini type getaways on every play cause O-line cant protect or you suck Again, this is another silly remark, i never said such a thing.
10) never let paparazzi take your picture or you are a celebrity QB and dont car about the game I have said, he is too much into paparazzi, the headlines, the glory, before he has won a playoff game. Just like rayfield wright nad some other players have said, he hasnt won those stripes yet and he was given glory probably before he should have been. You have to pay your dues, just like any other job, its all about experience, etc, adn you have to pay the price to get there. If your going out all the time, golf, paparazzi, etc, then do you have enough energy for football? thats the point I am trying to make, why hasnt romo ever finished something? He has never won a playoff game in college to my memory. he hasnt won playoff games in dallas. He hasnt won any golf big time stuff. He gets right on the edge, but doesnt punch through. Why, thats my point.
11) you must handle all the BS from certain players or you are weak for not being able to with stand it
Again romo said, you dont have to be a leader, its not what its all cracked up to be or something like that. But the leader of the offense has to be the QB in the game, the players have to respect that player and want to play for him. Why do you see in films that romo is almost like begging the offensive linemen lets go, but the linemen are dragging their feet so to speak. Why? Isnt the QB suppose to be the leader of that team? Just like the great wr for cardinals said, if it wasnt for kurt warner stepping on his neck and keeping him focused, he wouldnt be where he is today. Thats a leader on the team. Just like the QB for the steelers said, romo is too much papparazzi, thats my point im trying to make, not so much papparazzi, but all of it together, too many irons in the fire.
12) you must be a leader of those who cant be led
i could go on and on.......
The QB is suppose to be the leader of the team, period, especially on offense!
we have a borderline GREAT QB and you should enjoy it why you can cause they are far and few between.....we all want SBs and playoff wins....guess what Romo wants them more than you ever will
I know romo wants superbowls, but at what price does romo want superbowls? Thats my question, and the point im trying to make, too many irons in the fire.
