Honestly I think if he would have focused on golf and not football he would be much more wealthy and his body would be in better shape…but still Thankful he was a cowboy and probably my favorite announcer of all time
If you’ve seen him putt, you’d know that’s not true. He’s an amazing golfer for a guy who can’t putt for beans. The putter is what let’s him down all the time. If he was even an average putter, he’d be winning all the amateur events.

I understand at the ceremony he tossed the trophy to his caddy to share the moment, but it was intercepted by a fan. Tony was quoted as saying, "I just didn't see the guy. Reminded me of Bobby Carpenter for a minute."

The trophy was returned to Romo, but showed dents when the fan spiked the award after scoring on the pick six at the eighteenth hole.

Terrell Owens was quoted as saying, "Dat's my quarterback."

Did Dane Cook help you with this post?

yeah his putting was poor this week. A little better today. I will say he doesn't miss the short ones. But can't make much over 8 feet.

If he had extra time to practice his putting....he has the skill set, imagine 20 hours a week to golf over 20 years....and that's underestimate

Body would of been better but he'd have a low chance of making more money. He made just slightly over 125 million playing in the NFL and as of right now is signed for another 180 million in broadcasting money (which doesn't include his 2017-2019 salary) largely because of his playing career and the exposure of the team he played for.

You include endorsements and Romo is probably close to a 400 million dollar man right now in terms of his overall career contracts. Just to put that in prespective Dallas native Jordan Speith already has the accolades for the golf hall of fame (3x major winner, over 10 professional wins) and he just barely passed the $50 million dollar career mark a few months ago.

Oh no. Did he... did he accept the championship trophy from his hospital bed? He's paralyzed right?

HE WON ONE FOR THE GIPPER!!!

I just hope his last words will not be "Rosebud."

/extra thick sarcasm for all the past Romo's back comments

More wealthy? He made about $175 million as a player, and he'll make far more than that as a broadcaster.

One of the greatest mistakes this franchise has made was not giving Romo his starting job back. It may have cost them a Super Bowl.

Romo, like Dak today, was inconsistent, and I mean as in leadership in the playoffs or lack of it.
I recall mediocre seasons with Romo, and when he got to the playoffs, he was ...well, old boy, a failure and certainly not Super Bowl material as you proclaim. Here is what SportsFanfare concluded re Romo.

"In his career, Romo has played in 5 Divisional Round games and 4 Conference Championship Games. Unfortunately, the Dallas Cowboys QB has a 3-2 overall record in those games but he’s never been able to win a Super Bowl with them. In both of his NFC Championship Game appearances against the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers, Romo was unable to lead his team past those opponents. In this year’s Conference Championship loss, Romo threw a costly interception that led to the Packers’ winning points by way of a field goal. He finished the game with 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions in total."

Then there was Mr. Bobble in Seattle. Tear our me heart, Tony!

Face it, we have nor have an elite QB since 1998.
But one of these days we shall, and our wrath will be known in the NFL!
