Jerry Jones has no current plans to honor Tony Romo, for one intriguing reason

[EST_1986]

I agree. Except the name is Dak.

****..... I need to fix this Das tattoo I got

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Its dead and buried. It was hard to bury the corpse when it was still alive.

Looks like he has a bad hangover

 

[NextGenBoys]

I wan to be clear when I say I am NOT rooting for any injuries to Dak. But nothing would make me happier than Romo to come in and get a ring while saving the day.

Love it or hate it...

You gotta hand it to the Jones family for knowing how to work every angle--and as always--they keep themselves at the top of the news cycle.

 

[T-RO]

Because you're suddenly at the center of the spotlight of the top story in the NFL. CBS has tons of people to fill in for a few weeks while you watch your EMPLOYEE play for the Cowboys. Imagine getting to cover an inter-conference game with your colleague quarterbacking in the most watched game of the season?

That's the greatest ratings bonanza imaginable.

The only kink in this take is that the Cowboys play in the NFC--Fox territory.

 

[DallasEast]

Are you kidding? The return of the prodigal son, to grab the reins and save the season.

That is a Hollywood script.

Say it with me.

Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!

lol! No.

I would have a serious problem if Romo gets in the Ring of Honor before Jimmy Johnson. Jerry really needs to do the right thing and put Jimmy in this year.

From pressbox to SB MVP.....it's magical, movie like.

Now wake up and smell the coffee folks....that ship has sailed .

Tony had plenty of chances for the movie ending, it's not in his cards.

If no one is interested in Romo there's only two reasons I can imagine since his appearance in Philly displayed how he can still play.

One , his injuries are worse than anyone has described . Two, he asking too much in a contract.

I felt initially there might have been some interest if Romo was a Free Agent but retaining Romo holding out for some compensation thwarted any interest since it was well known our intent on releasing him eventually which I believe drove Romo to making the TV deal and retirement.

I think there was interest in him but I just don't believe he wants to do everything that goes into the preparation for a season at this point in his life with a new team. Waking up sore every day and having a sore back and figuring out a new city and how to spend time with your family... that's a hard way to live.

I get sore from going to the gym 3-4 times a week. I can't imagine every day, with a bad back and then taking hits on Sundays at age 37.

Favre got around this by skipping training camp as a Viking. It worked the first year but the second year, it did not.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

If they ask Romo to come back, the Titanic will already be sinking it not like they are going to call him because we aren't on an 11 game win streak, I don't think he will come back any ways, if something happen during mini camps or training camp all bets are off

Why in the world would he come back in that case? By the time he's in football shape the season will be over. The chances anything happens in mini or training camp is very slim.

Tony, reportedly, may try his hand a professional golf...his competitiveness flows from him....he HAS to win at something....so, if some catastrophic thing happened to Dak, yeah, I could see Tony getting "the call"....I can also imagine the mrs watching the cowboys on TV while Tony is doing color for a Chiefs game and if Dak gets hurt in a game, Candace yelling ****! at the TV, and then apologizing to the kids that are shocked at her colorful language....let's hope she has no reason to curse

 

[pete026]

You really should have to pay for this kind of entertainment.

 

[Aven8]

Tony had plenty of chances for the movie ending, it's not in his cards.

In his defense, the coaching staff and personnel have been fairly mediocre.

 

[DFWJC]

I can see the first interception DAK throws the camera pans across networks to Tony's CBS booth.

That's bad.

Keep protecting the ball then, Dak.
Tony isn't coming back, though he is working out with a core trainer 3-4 times a week....I think that's just his log term health though.

 

[JoeKing]

Romo may still have some playing to do for the Cowboys. Championship!

 

[Cowboysfan917]

I hadn't heard this. Interesting though and keeps the door open I suppose.
