Fraley: Tony Romo 'too self-absorbed' to be taken seriously as a leader


Gerry Fraley, writer for The Dallas Morning News and SportsDayDFW.com, answered your Cowboys and Rangers questions in a chat Tuesday. Here are some highlights from the chat:

On if everyone quit last night after Tony Romo got hurt because Romo is the team's leader ...

Fraley: More of a case that he plays the most important position. I'd never call Romo a leader. He's too self-absorbed.

More on Romo being self-absorbed ...

Fraley: He's a little too concerned, for me, about image and letting people know that he is familiar with Tiger Woods.

On if the Cowboys should sign another quarterback ...

I refuse to take seriously any Dallas sportswacko.

 

[Aikmaniac]

One of the most off-the-wall statements I've ever read.

 

[BAZ]

Solid reporting.

 

[JPM]

Congrat Gerry, this is one of the stupidest articles I have ever read and I have read some by Galloway, Jenn Engle, and Jason Whitlock.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Mo-Ran.

Who is this guy? Seriously everything he writes is utter trash....I mean its not anything I can say "well I disagree but yeah...."

Me thinks this guy is trying to get a call from ESPN...seriously.

 

[aikemirv]

So self absorbed that he randomly stops on the sid eof the road to help people change their flat tire.

I hate people like that!!!

He only did that to tell them how he knew Tioger Woods.

I guess Manning can't be a leader either ... too self absorbed, making 75 television commercials every offseason to be taken seriously as a leader. And Brady, too self absorbed with his super model wife and his Justin Bieber haircut.

Fraley is an old bitter baseball beat writer who can't get over the fact that his profession, medium and favorite sport are going extinct.

Fraley has been and is now garbage (and he is a has been as well).

Tony Romo Press Conference #1:

Romo: Well, we didn't play a good enough game to win, too many mistakes on both sides of the ball, but were' working hard, like my man Tiger Woods!

Tony Romo Press Conference #2:

Romo: Did I tell you all I know the legendary Tiger, last name Woods? You know the guy who won the Masters in 20 under par?!! He's my man!

Tony Romo Press Conference #3:

Romo: Who cares about the game! I'm going to Vegas with Tiger to hook up with some babes...if you know what I mean, .

What a doofus this reporter is.

 

[utrunner07]

Are other cities' sports writiers this stupid and annoying?

 

[DCBoysfan]

Where did that come from?

 

[Marktui]

Any big time athlete is going to be somewhat self absorbed, but that comes with the territory. But Romo, does other things that does not seem arrogant or stand offish. I bet there is some history between those two, where he was dissed and now he is taking his shot at him.

For the media taking shots at him for staying down on the field after getting his clavicle busted, that is just absurd. Romo always gets up, even after taking some brutal hits, except this last one and I cannot blame him for that. They should try getting hit at 35 miles an hour and have their shoulder driven into the turf and see how it feels. The guy even tried to go back in there to play, but got horse collared by the trainers.

 

[Dodger]

Where did that come from?

The garbage can.

This...

Or more likely that the Rangers finally make the World Series and he has to be on the Cowboys' beat.

So I expect him to be extra bitter this week.

Stopped reading right there. This is the dumbest article I've ever read. Good lord.

 

[Hostile]

Oh brother. If anything Romo is too down to earth.
