Cliff Avril followed through with plans to reach out to Tony Romo and received an optimistic response from the Cowboys quarterback, who suffered a fractured bone in his back after a hit by the Seahawks defensive end.

"You take care of the NFC West, we will see yall in the playoffs," Romo texted to Avril, the defensive end told the Star-Telegram on Friday.

Avril said on Aug. 28 that he would reach out to Romo after learning the severity of his injury. He told the newspaper that he sent texts and left voicemails for the quarterback.

"I hit him up to see how he was doing and to let him know it wasn't intentional," Avril told the newspaper. "He hit me back saying it was football and it was a freak accident. He started joking and saying 'You take care of the NFC West and we will see you in the playoffs.'"

People are so foolish.

The point being missed by everyone is that romo told him it was just football and that he was JOKING.

Its click bait thread titles and sites like pro football talk that put this out there like Romo was making some huge declaration.

Go read the comments on the crap PFT site. Nothing but hate for Romo.....and why? Because people are dumb and just read the headline and missed the whole part about what romo was saying.

this is why we never got to have fun joking around Romo....because fans are so incredibly stupid that they can't handle it.

So frustrating. Its like when I go to a school function and the teachers asked the parents and people in the audience not to clap until the end after every kid sings or whatever and immediately half the room claps instantly. Everybody is stupid.

Hopefully he meant we will be playing them and not him sitting at home while the Seabags are on TV playing. Guess Tony doesn't believe in stacking days and games lol

If Romo is talking about seeing him while he watches from the Cowboys luxury suite, then I would agree.

Dude has a broken back. Lucky he isn't in a wheelchair.

I'm sorry. Just is what it is.

The isn't isn't whether he was trying to hurt Romo intentially. Rather, it's the fact he was clearly celebrating after seeing Romo grabbing his back in pain.

Pretty cool of Avril, though, to follow up. I've broken bones before in sporting events---not mine, but guys I was playing against. I have a pretty much alls-fair-in-wrestling-or-football attitude, but you still feel horrible watching them cry after you took them out and broke something on them.

Also, you feel a bit like a boss, but you don't want anybody to know that part.

They both did the right. Avrils hit wasnt dirty or even very hard. Tony fell in an awkward way. End of story. Injuries happen to every player and every team. It was just bad luck. The Cowboys always seem snakebit.
