Ah thanks ith. Was it your teams choice to use Hurd and Romo or did you have other players in mind? well i can see Romo and i like Hurd alot but was there player X you wanted but he politely declinded?
No, It was Romo and Hurd from day 1.... actually from the last of last season...
we have been doing these shows for 15 years and have always looked for two things.
1. who do we think is an up and coming player and
2. who has aspirations of being in broadcasting after their career is over
we have had Romo on our show as a guest several times over the years before we signed him to do last seasons shows. We knew he was about to break out and wanted to get him before that time.
I think the Sam will be said for Sam Hurd. Things (in my opinion) are not looking good for Terry Glenn and if he does not return and for some reason Crayton was to be traded, Hurd would be the #2 receiver and in the spotlight just like what happened with Tony.
I know a lot of you dont think Hurd is a legit #2 guy but I am with him 3-4 days a week and I will go out on the limb and say "you aint seen nothin yet"
Honestly after the show last week with Chris Canty, I am seriously considering him for hosting some shows next season as he was very outspoken and eloquent.
If you look at our past hosts that are now doing either local or national work it is impressive
Emmitt Smith Hosted 1 season - National
Daryl Johnston - Hosted 5 seasons - National
Troy Aikman - Hosted 1 season - National
Tony Casillas - Hosted 1 season - Local
Jason Garret - Hosted 3 seasons - (now Coaching)
Joey Galloway - Hosted 1 season - (still playing)
Dan Campbell - Hosted 1 season - (still playing)
Jason Witten - Hosted 1 season - (still playing)
La'Roi Glover - Hosted 2 seasons - (still playing)
Bradie James - Hosted 1 season - (still playing)
Tony Romo - Hosted 2 seasons - (still playing)
Sam Hurd - Hosted 1 season - (still playing)
Chad Hennings - Hosted 1 season
George Teague - Hoste 1 season
There are some others in there but my old brain forgets everyone over a 15 year span of time
