I here ya Dooms, I guess in my opinion it shows a mindset ( and I know this is getting into the fan extreme, etc.) that they were "comfortable." In a way, acting as if they had done it before and many more were a comin kind've thing. We know that wasn't the case so it makes paranoid fans like me look at that period and wonder if they didn' let that 13-3 go their heads a little bit; causing them to lose that mean streak.

On the other hand it was a way to relieve pressure and did not interfere with any preparation since again all players had those 3 days off which is not uncommon for any team in that situation for the HC to give guys a few days off. Had Romo travel to Wis to visit his mom and dad I doubt anyone would care. In my view where Romo went on his 3 days off has never been an issue for me. Maybe Miles should have gone with him and Witten who knows maybe he runs the correct rout. lol

Not by being dead wrong. Hell no you won't.

And all anyone else is saying is that this topic comes up every year and then the guy goes out and plays his *** off and you all look stupid every year.

Yeah, every report that Tony is a gym rat, one of the first to arrive at VR and one of the last to leave must mean that he shows up to play video games and nap.

No, they are irrelavant to you because you have no idea what you are talking about.

You're a guy who in this thread basically bragged about the physical shape you are in. I got a thousand bucks says that "out of shape" guy would school your whiny *** in football, basketball, soccer, and golf. Probably a few more sports too.

Oh, by all means post some of these pics if you have already seen. I know, I know, you aren't going to do that because you can't and you'll hide behind the commentary that you're not going to look stuff up for me. Then don't claim what we both know you can't prove.
I never bragged about the physical shape I was in. You ignored the deriding comment from the other poster which led me to mention a tidbit about my credentials. If I really wanted to brag, I'd post a pic of my physique but there are far too few female posters on this board for that.

The only person who has said that Romo is a gym rat, is Romo himself. Otherwise, I have heard people compliment him on his film study but never for being a gym rat.

I'm not going to google pics for you but here are some of Big Ben's "piggy" numbers a year before that first Super Bowl. 4.75 in the 40-yard dash...340-pound bench press...410-pound bench press...316-pound power clean...32-inch vertical jump...32 -inch arm length...9 7/8-inch hands.

I think from a preception view point your right but given that players were off he did not miss any time nor did Witten who was there as well it was no bigger deal to me than had he gone home to Wis to visit his family or stayed in Dallas sitting at home. Had Romo skipped practice to party in Cabo or in Dallas or anywheres else I would have been pissed but fact is that was 3 days the players had off and it frankly did not bother me in the least.

The team was very flat and the coaching staff told them to all stay away from the facility for a few days and relax. You're right, Cabo is extremely easy to get to from Dallas....really no different than driving two hours to Oklahoma (or getting stuck in 2-3 hours of traffic on your way to Frisco..lol. It was the perception of it all. They could have just as easily been partying by a pool in a Dallas suburb.
But Romo has said that he's learned a lot about public perception since then...I mean that was only his second year as a starter, so he was a bit naïve.
Really same thing when his dad had had cancer earlier and they lost a big playoff game and he made the comment about there are worse things in life. Total morons took that as if he didn't care when he said what 100% of any intelligent person would be thinking given the situation. Believe me, someone like Richard Sherman (loose tongue but also a high IQ) would have said what Romo said if the situation was the same. But for Romo and most people, it's one thing to think it (and know it is of course 100% true) and another to give the dull brain ones low hanging fruit to hate with. Some still cling to that comment. He has said since that he should have kept his mouth shut there.

Ah, so you just aren't listening. Figures.

I called it. You won't because you can't prove it. Eli has never been ripped and Ben has never been svelte. You failed.

That's not true at all Z.

Parcells said it first and said it often.
Dez, Aikman, Garrett, Witten, Owens, Gurode, Murray, MB3, Dat....and I bet many, many more that I'm not thinking of.

I wasn't aware that the quote was relating to his father (or timespan wise). It does shed a completely different light on that quote within that context. I didn't particularly fault him for saying it, just the timing in general. But it is understandalbe that he wouldn't use his father's condition as a way to "take back" that comment.

I agree it was more of a case of public perception. For me I don't get into what something looks like I just deal in the facts and fact is going to Cabo for your 3 days off was no big deal no different than as you said having a pool party there in Dallas or doing any number of things. I'm sure most players who get the bye week take some time to enjoy themselves and to relax given the high pressure they are under some may go out and play golf but in my view who really cares. I guess the answer to that are some people but then some people have the enquiring minds what to know syndrome that is why National Enquirer is able to make money. lol

In fact, in his first off-season as the Cowboys starting quarterback, Romo, always a football gym rat who Bill Parcells first fell in love with because of his work ethic, has never worked harder.

And when you talk to the Cowboys players this offseason, they gush about their quarterback. Bradie James tells us that you see Romo working longer hours as new offensive coordinator Jason Garrett tries to install a game plan featuring more of a West Coast Offense. And James reveals that the signal caller has looked razor sharp in that new offense.

Marc Colombo says that Romo's confidence and work ethic are contagious. Julius Jones reports that you absolutely see a different Romo in minicamps this year, one who walks and talks and practices with the responsibility and moxie of being the quarterback and leader in Dallas. Marcus Spears says the entire team takes its lead from Romo, and he's the player to lead Dallas back to the Super Bowl.

Dude, at least be consistent with your argument. You basically criticized Romo's physique and work ethic based off one picture and said he looked weak, flabby, blah blah blah.

Then you go on to say you won't post a single picture of Roethlisberger, but here's his combine numbers, when more than half of the people in this thread are already telling you that superior physique doesn't necessarily equate to athletic performance or true strength.

There's so much wrong with this thread, at least the jokes were somewhat amusing.
