Romo in Mavericks Uniform

[Alexander]

Garrett seemed to enjoy it.

Wait. That is his facial expression all of the time.

I'm not a mavs fan. I was making a joke. They never should won that. That's why I said handed to them.

They did in 2011 what 29 others teams did not, so you have to give them some credit for their one and only NBA championship. That said, what the Mavs have done in any other season is really beside the point. The Mavs were terrible this season and now Romo is honorarily terrible by association.

They talked about this on talking Cowboys today. And Rumblings around the NBA are that the Mavs put on a Clown show with Romo. Did it only to sell tickets and jerseys. To have Romo out on the court during warmups made alot of owners mad.

They won. It was just like the falcon patriots though. The heat blew that series.

Dirk and Romos careers are near mirror images of each other. People glorify Dirk now, but before he drug his team to a championship, he was just an awkward white guy who wasn't good enough to get it done when it mattered. He was unfairly criticized in the same way Romo has been. After he won though, everyone acts as if those things weren't said. He's one of the greatest ever now. He's also been surrounded by horrible rosters for the majority of his career. The only difference is he won a ring and people act like he's a different player because of it.

Sadly, people can be fickle and sometimes are.

I don't know if it was mentioned in this thread.

Mark Cuban tried to get Romo signed to a one day contract to retire with Mavericks.

Per Craig Carton on a Boomer & Carton on the fan.

Talking Cowboys sound butthurt.

Who cares. Red Sox had Brady and Gronk on the field playing grabass recently.

It's fun. I thought it was cool. Anyone who has a problem with it probably has a stick they need to remove.

Yep
As a Mavs season ticket holder for nearly 20 years, I know Dirk's story very well.
I remember so many saying he was a choker and a loser.
Tragic comedy, until it was proven orherwise.

Unfortunately, one player can FAR more dictate a basketball game.
5 starters who play offense AND defense
Vs
24+ starters (with kickers and not including the rest of special teams) who only play either offense or defense or kicker.

No sport is more interdependent than football.
Its one of the things that makes it such a great team sport.

I wouldnt put Tony on Dirk's level regardless of playoff success though.

But at one time, yes, the stories were very similar and both totally unjust.

As long as they are mad every game when fans are shooting half court shots during a break in the game, but not actually playing in the game.

Or when Mike Madono and Pudge Rodequiz also sat on the Mavs bench.
The only difference was the layup line.

Not surprising that you would be all over the negative side of this harmless thing....especially given it's Romo.

Hey, its your right.

Yeah, wouldn't want to upset the purity of the game. It's not like 15 teams haven't been tanking for over a month or anything.

That's DFW sports fans for you. Just like Darvish doesn't have "the will to win" when he was losing games 0-1 multiple times. Or how he didn't care enough because he sat out the last month of a bad season with elbow inflammation only to need Tommy John before the next season even started. I've only known DFW fans, but they thoroughly annoy me with their stupidity sometimes.

Did nothing for ten years, gets congradulated. Glad we've moved on.

The game they honored Romo they lost to the Denver Chicken Nuggets, 91-109.

Be assured that logic has sometimes escaped the comprehension of sports fans (and people in general) all over the world. No one community or sub-community lacks or exceeds any other in that sense--although one community may appear more expressive about not knowing something than the next.

So Romo enters with his family but leaves with Zeke...this can't be good news.

Can see his man boobs through his shirt. Whats the excuse now? Nothing to do but work out for 6 months. This dude is gonna get real fat when he retires if he cant even get in shape w a pro training regimen imo,

Hes a funny and honest guy tho, he admitted he looks like a turtle lol
