News: Romo freaks out Cowboys brass sliding into sign

[WoodysGirl]

This is exactly what happened to Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo at the team’s Blue/White Scrimmage on Sunday. Romo reportedly pursued safety Barry Church after a fumble near the goal line. The quarterback ran after Church along the sideline where he slid on his knee right into a padded stand-up advertisement sign. The sign was located along the fence where the fans gather to watch practice.

Talk about a heart-in-your throat moment. Thankfully, Romo was fine and even joked with a kid along the fence after he got up.

“It doesn’t make me comfortable,” Jones said (via The Dallas Morning News). “I don’t think it makes anybody comfortable.”

Head coach Jason Garrett was reportedly not happy about Romo’s carefree decision either.

Church, the man Romo was chasing when it happened, spoke on the play while also taking a poke at his quarterback:

“I definitely thought it was a fumble to begin with. The refs said he crossed the line before the ball got poked out,” Church said. “It was a heck of a play by Randle by jumping over the line to get into the end zone.

“I would have definitely scooped and scored. There was no way in hell Romo was going to catch me over there. It was a heck of a sequence and a good practice play.”

By all accounts - he beat the tag.

Safe!

It's totally understandable to be concerned about your number one financial investment and practically irreplaceable piece of your offense when you're the owner or coach, respectfully. This was one of those carefree mistakes that could have happened to Romo at home chasing Hawkins in the backyard. I'm glad he's okay but anyone will have a difficult time tying Romo to a chair when he's not actively participating with the team. I mean you COULD tie him up but that would just be silly.

Overreaction. Even if romo broke his ankle or injured himself he would play through it as if nothing happened. Shame on you all for questioning romo's toughness. Have you learned nothing!?
