Romo Home Game
As the idea that Tony Romo's unofficial homecoming game would be against Green Bay. Yes, Romo grew up a huge Brett Favre fan, but his hometown of Burlington, Wisc. is actually closer to Chicago than Green Bay.
Green Bay is about two hours away from Burlington, which is 30 miles south of Milwaukee, and Chicago is about 75 minutes. Give or take.
Sunday's has become the date for a lot of Romo family and friends to make the quick drive down to Chicago to see their hometown boy do well. He just hasn't been able to come up with a large number of tickets. And he doesn't expect to.
"I've turned the phone off this week. Just gonna' go play," Romo said. "Everyone wants to go to the game. I can't get that many tickets. I'm trying to get 10, but I probably won't even get that many."

Watkins Wants to Take Off Hester's Head
Cowboys defensive back/special teams gunner is usually good for a colorful quote, and he didn't disappoint when asked how to deal with Bears returner Devin Hester.
"If I get the chance I'm going to take his head off," Watkins said. "I'm not playing about that, either. I've known Devin since high school, and I love the guy. He knows. But if I get the chance, I'm going to take his head off."
Watkins and Hester played in a high school all-star game together in Florida against an all-star team from Calilfornia. Watkins also played against Hester when he was at Florida State and Hester was at Miami.
"He never returned one for a score on us then," Watkins said.
Hester has already returned one punt for a touchdown this season. He had two kickoffs for a touchdown last season, as well as three punts for scores. He returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown against the Colts in the Super Bowl. And, oh yeah, he returned a missed field goal for a touchdown, too.
"The key with that guy is to keep him east-and-west," Watkins said. "That guy is really talented, so you have to keep him in front of you."
Good luck.
