What struck me while watching that was how good Austin was for a short time.
Yeah, Austin used to be great.

Thank you, ABQ, for your hearfelt and well-written post. Have a nice day, sirEasily one of the most frustrating times in my life, with regards to being a Cowboy Fan. Let me say that I was not a believer in Tony being the future, when he first arrived in Dallas. We talk a lot about Dak and him being a 4th Rd pick and coming in and having the season he had, as well we should but think about it. Think about a kid from a small school, never even got invited to the Draft, until they needed somebody to throw to all the guys who were actually invited. Think about that. Think about an Undrafted Kid coming in and becoming the career leader for virtually all the passing records in Dallas, to say nothing of where he finished in the NFL Record Book. Think about that. Think about how rare, how uncommon it is to overcome all of that and still be the kind of person, we have seen Tony Romo be, throughout his career. Think about how rare all of that is. Tony won't be considered one of the Greatest QBs of all time because he never won a Super Bowl but that's not entirely his fault. The team kinda used him and never really did the things needed to be able to truly contend. Maybe there were reasons but to me, a team can go their entire existence and not see a situation like Tony come there way. We really should have done more for him to help win a championship.
Too late now. I was fortunate to be able to watch him play. I hope Tony enjoys life the rest of the way....
What a great memoryI was there too, I couldn't believe it.
