You can't see straight b/c you're too emotionally invested in Tony Romo. For some of you he was not only the perfect quarterback on the field but the perfect teammate off of it. Yet nobody had his back when it came to getting his job back. Even Witten refused to opine on the topic. Several reporters who follow this team for a living and are in that locker room everyday have said that Romo's problem was his aloof nature. Even straight shooters like Todd Archer & David Moore have said it. Are they all making it up?
Also, the party at his house occurred during the bye week in October, a month before his speech.
They had the after christmas party at his house, I remember the players posting on instagram specifically leary talking about his basketball court inside. I also remember dak and zeke didn't go and there ended up being pictures of the two of them at a bar shooting champagne all around some women on the monday night the week of the giants game in ny in december of 16. Dak played like utter garbage.
I believe the october party was a Bar BQ romo threw for the team and most didnt show up.
I can see straight just fine and always did. Romo was a target from day one and most wanted to see him fail, especially media members here locally.
Calvin Watkins, Clarence hill, Bill Jones, Steve Dennis, Gina Miller, Dale Hansen, The Ticket, all of espn etc.....all hated him and used him for attention.
Gina Miller called him a ****** after he held his postgame PC after the bengals pre season game in 2013, he was on his way to the team dinner and didnt want to be late...but he is the ******.
Steve Dennis called him Tony Oh No for years, Bill Jones was and still is nothing but Snarky or sarcastic when talking about him. I could go on and on. You see what you want to see or hear.
The ticket did nothing but goof on him. I remember them going crazy because he went on stage with steel panther and sang Dont Stop Believing in the summer during their time off...>Think about that.
Romo started out as a fun loving great guy. he did great interviews had nothing but fun on the field and was always smiling, always positive. Then they tore him down because that is what gets done to people like him here. After the playoff loss to the giants he became a robot because he was blamed for everything and the locals hung on his every movement in order to go after him. He showed up to a pro am golf event where 10 other fb's were and he was the one under fire. I remember the year Ben R was in legal trouble for raping someone and he was at one of those golf events and no one said nothing but romo got crap because he didn't win it.
I remember the 08 game at pittsburgh, the steelers media went to Big Ben and asked about who Romo was dating and he was like well if you dont want attention dont date girls like Jessica Simpson......He Raped a college student and got less grief.
I could do this all night. You bought into a false narrative that he is "Aloof". The reality was he was carrying the weight of every loss for everyone and learned to shield himself and not allow himself to open up and be his natural self because it brought unwanted distractions.
In his early years he was the way he is on air today on cbs in interviews and on the field. I remember seeing him running around like a little kid interacting with everyone at Training Camp in 2007 and everyone loved it and him.
If everyone on the radio is bagging on him and the national media decides to make him a villain it affects how people perceive him. It's what happened to Romo here.
