Alright, this time I got the link right lol

Texas is really going all out for Romo, really surprised by this, even being from DFW myself.

Someday a list is going to come out on all the behind the scenes things he's done for the Dallas community.

His goal was to always be fairly anonymous, and he pretty much succeeded.
But there are lot of parks and park upgrades in overlooked areas of the city due to him and others. Not to mention all the boys club and children's' charity stuff.
Some people give a dollar to someone on the street and want headline and photo op for it, others prefer it to be a bit more low key.

I really hope after 5-6 years broadcasting Dallas asks him to come be a QB coach or something... He's got a very technical mind, could work well.

I see a lot of John Elway or John Lynch type of post-careers in the future. It's not like Jack Del Rio or Jim Harbaugh, who made $200,000 a year back in the day.

Half a dozen zone members will be snow flake rioting the state house that day.

With the way broadcasters are being paid these days, who needs 90 hour weeks? Its why Gruden and Cowher never came back, who needs the stress?
