Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo might not be long for Dallas. But the Romo-backed National Fantasy Football Convention will call Dallas home this year as it finally gets off the ground.

The event is scheduled for July 14-16, roughly a week before the Cowboys begin training camp. The location and time will be determined at a later date.

ESPN fantasy football expert Matthew Berry will serve as host of three-day event that will include fantasy strategy sessions, autograph sessions, question-and-answer sessions, parties, and tailgates, along with over 100 current and former NFL players and personalities among the participants.

In addition to Romo, several Cowboys are committed to the event, including tight end Jason Witten, receiver Dez Bryant, and running back Ezekiel Elliott as well as stars from across the league.

"Our main goal has always been to give the fans a chance to interact with the players during a truly unforgettable experience," NFFC Executive Director Andy Alberth said. "And after three years of hardwork were unbelievably excited to see it all come together this summer in Dallas. were also excited about the impact the convention is going to have on local businesses and the overall economic benefit it will have on the city of Dallas. We want to thank all of the fans for there continuing support."

Tony, just stop it.

I'm for a bill on Capitol Hill to federally abolish fantasy football forever.

Nobody gives a crap who you're starting at wide receiver this weekend, "random guy at work" dude.

I'm not much into fantasy football but I would go to this for the opportunity to meet some of the players. I think this is a great way for the players to get out there and interact with fans which is something the NFL doesn't do nearly enough.

This is all a favor for some buddies and relatives. He told them he'd help 3 years ago and is not one to break his word.
Little did he know it'd not go away.:muttley:

Exactly, whether or not you play fantasy football, it's a great way for fans to interact with the players. Props to Tony for doing something cool for the fans.
