why so hung-up over golf?

[bbgun]

I am begining to think half the people that ***** about "hollywood" and golf are jealous of tony's life.

nothing but a bunch of haters who wish they could live the life he does and are bitter that thier lives suck compared to Romo's.

Project much? Generally speaking, men don't get jealous of other men. Aspirational? Yes. Jealous? No. And since Warren Sapp is the only person of prominence to raise issues with Tony's avocation, this whole thing is overblown.

He needs to win a SB then it will not matter. Peyton Manning has played in the past 2 Pro Am's in Charlotte at the Wachovia Championship, and I doubt anyone cares.

I'm convinced that people who complain about Tony playing golf don't understand what golf is. Some people who don't play themselves seem to think "golf" means some sort of cushy, celebrity, rich game that takes thousands of hours and 24/7 concentration to play. It's not. You simply take your clubs to the course and you play for four or five hours, then you're done. It's no different than playing any other sport for a few hours.

What's so stupid is that if Tony wasted the same number of hours playing video games, like probably most NFL players do, no one would say a word.

Maybe so, but it shouldn't matter now. I'm sure Manning did wait to take up golf until after he won a SB....and it took him 8 years to do so (with his 1st three playoff games ending in losses).

First time that I've heard that analogy....and so true.

you put sexual connotation on jealousy that I do not.

dudes are jealous of other dudes all the time, I know because most men are jealous of me, I am good looking successful am a great dancer and rich.

I also give great foot massages, most men are jealous of all I have to offer.


I know I would be jealous of me if I saw me walking by, looking all good.

so tony romo plays golf. so what?

michael jordan played golf in the offseason. ben roethlisberger plays golf in the offseason. troy aikman and emmitt smith played golf in the offseason. lots of athletes play golf. so what?!

(personally, i think golf is a waste of time, and athletes would be better doing something like crossfit in the offseason, but whatever.)

kareem abdul-jabbar practiced yoga. herschel walker practiced ballet (!). lots of athletes practice a martial art. having another physical activity outside of their sport helps them stay sharp and refreshed but also stay in tune with their bodies.

romo's quotes about golf helping him improve and focus on football show he's not just fooling around. his quotes about picking the brains of other successful, elite athletes show he has a singular focus on being one of the best. AND, his quotes about realizing how insignificant he is outside his sport show he's NOT a hollywood kind of guy.

i know this is a dead horse, but the latest story on romo and tiger woods stirred up the old canards... i just don't get how anyone can believe he has anything but the right attitude.

Because people are stupid they rather Tony be riding a motorcycle without a helmet I guess.

People get hung up on things they should not; just liek it is all Jessica's fault we lost those games.

People hold on to idiotic things all the time they need something to blame there has to be a reason other than that is just the way it played out.
