Romo has possible ligaments torn in thumb too *Not True per Archer - Post 23*

[tunahelper]

I tore all my ligaments in my thumb and you would not grip a football with such an injury. Since we saw him throwing yesterday on ESPN it appears his thumb is not an issue.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Hmmmm...interesting. I think he sits for at least this game. I just can't imagine they'd risk further injury in a game against the Rams.

I emailed one of my favorite DMN reporters. His response:

Was told its absolutely not true.

ok this is what brady said,
romos finger is broken, his thumb is hurt, has ligament problems in his thumb this hasnt been confirmed, but i will tell you this and needs at least a couple of games to get well. This team needs other players on this team to step up,5 probowlers on this defense, like ware or ellis, like ware, he hasnt dominated one game, these players need to step up and play like they are capable on defense.

How did that happen? Hopefully someone did not sit on it?

i dont know, i was posting what brady said, and i talked to another reporter and he said, that a reporter told him during that game, you could see romo grimacing before the half against the cardinals, and he was shaking his thumb,

if you look at the film, she said, you can see this, my point is, if romo does have thumb and pinkie finger issues, to me, he should sit at least 2 weeks, get well, then come back, doesnt make sense to get out there and do further damage, because the rams defenders said they are going to tee off on brad johnson when he plays;

now if romo plays, they know he has a pinkie problem for sure, and they will come after that, thats their style of their head coach who coached at the saints, he is a defense minded headcoach, that comes after you

I'm still surrounded.

I do believe this thread was in direct violation of the 'no fake stories' thread stickied in this here forum.

 

[cowboyjoe]

my other issue, why would 2 reporters say something is wrong with his thumb, and why would media people try to make something up, that doesnt make sense

again dont shoot the poster, was just reporting what brady tinker said, and another reporter said something was wrong with romos thumb,

again i dont know just saying what was said on air, and by another reporter

Not fake, just really bad speculation by the Tinker bells..

I emailed one of my favorite DMN reporters. His response:

Why not write him back and ask if there is anything at all wrong with Romo's right thumb, not if he has torn ligaments, because Tinker didn't say "torn".

 

[PullMyFinger]

Romo hasnt been himself because hes trying to be like Brady. I dont think Ive seen him freelance all year.

 

[WoodysGirl]

Why not write him back and ask if there is anything at all wrong with Romo's right thumb, not if he has torn ligaments, because Tinker didn't say "torn".

Original post suggested torn ligaments, so that's what I asked. I'm satisfied with the response.

If you'd like to know whether he has ANY issues with his right thumb, then go for it. tarcher@***BANNED-URL***

i relistened to the broadcast, and later in the show, brady is talking to spears and he said that he was aware of romo having thumb issues earlier. Possibly what happened, brady jumped on this, and went with it.

Could be possibly that not torn ligaments but stretched or whatever a few games ago, and romo is finally healing over that issue and now he has the pinkie finger. All qbs go through this now and then. I remember roger staubachs pinkie and cant think of the players name but he stomped on rogers hand one game and the cowboy players erupted, roger continued to play with the twisted finger etc, it was bent like at a almost 90 degree.

so maybe brady kinda blew this up, and was thinking this. After what spears said, now spears didnt say when romo had a thumb issue, but he was aware that he went through a thumb issue awhile back.

So, that could be it, the thumb is slowly healing or whatever, and now the pinkie. this i am speculating, and thanks for being satisfied with the answer woody'sgirl, i dont post false rumors never have and never will, was just posting what a media writer was saying. And i was worried that rom's hand could get worse if hit, that i dont want to happen period.

 

[CowboyManDan]

I will say that I've noticed something well before the pinky finger was reported. His spirals haven't been as tight and I haven't seen as much zip on the ball.

That said, he's still been accurate and very productive.

 

[jobberone]

Anyone who is reporting that he has a broken pinkie already demonstrates they haven't investigated it properly. I wouldn't call that accurate reporting.

Yeah, who's EVER heard of a mediot making up a story??

Guess Michael Irvin DID rape Nina Shahravan, right??

You know what I find funny about all this? IF this were true, wouldn't Ed Werder be ALL over it by now?:bang2:
