Michael Irvin is fed up...

...with all the fans who have jumped off Tony Romo's bandwagon.
The Playmaker was at practice yesterday to check out "4th and Long" winner Jesse Holley. After talking about the long-shot receiver, Irvin fielded a few other questions.
Here's what he had to say about Romo.
"I don't know anyone at anytime, especially in the NFL, who wouldn't take a quarterback who is 27-12 over 39 games," Irvin said. "Every coach, every GM, every owner would raise their hand and say, 'Give me that guy.' Give me that guy, that's the bottom line. I come through the airport and I have people come up to me and say, 'Do you think we should get rid of Romo?' I want to ground all the planes and get on the microphone and say, 'Are you people serious? Are you people serious? Stop it already. Will you stop with this mess? You are reading too much into the Jessica (Simpson) stuff.' "
Irvin, the Cowboys Hall of Fame receiver, went on to say that Romo didn't help his cause with his philosophical take after the Philadelphia flop last season.
"That being said, to be talking about getting rid of Tony is absolutely...Can we get Drew Bledsoe back out here just for a week, so you guys can fall back in love with Tony?" Irvin said. "Let's sign Drew Bledsoe back for a week. Because sometimes when you have a pretty girl for so long, you forget how pretty she is. But when you put an ugly girl next to her, 'Oh, no, I'm really doing well.' And maybe we need to bring Drew back, so we can back to 'Oh, no, we're really doing well.' Because 27-12 over the first 39, come on, guys."
But what about the fact Romo is 0-2 in the playoffs?
"At least you get an opportunity at a playoff win when you are 27-12. When you are 12-27, you don't even get the opportunity for a playoff win...You have a young guy, 39 games, that's not much experience, so you see there is a whole lot of room to get better. You got to give it time. These things were being said about (New York Giants quarterback) Eli (Manning) two years ago, and Eli went on and won a Super Bowl. No one says that now about him."
