Yes, that subject line is sarcasm, but I saw yet another comment in that direction today from a Cowboys fan who needs his head examined.

I'd love for him to be ready to play. I'm excited about Mo, but I actually envisioned Jenkins as the starter until Mo gets more experience.

I don't normally post photo galleries, but there are some nice candid shots of our favorite team, and some very nice pictures of the scenery.

In the not-to-be-taken-seriously realm.

I'm actually sick of the whole debate, but make of it what you will, those of you who think it's dumb to worry and those of you who think the world is ending.

Well, he did say this before he saw his O line play last night.

If you can access ESPN Insider, it's a good read. I'm not familiar with the writer, Chris Sprow, but he does look beyond the usual silly stuff we often get from ESPN and examines Romo's stats, metrics, and decision making. He lays a lot of the team's problems last year on the defense and predicts good things if the D can come together this year. Well, and he thinks they need a dose of good old luck, something they didn't have much of in 2011.

You have to read to the end for the prediction. Very interesting read on the D.

Whew!

"It's going take a little bit of time.." Cool.

At least this time the loudmouthed classlessness is directed at someone else, so it's kind of amusing.

One of the best drives I've seen by a QB. Here's a link to a description of each play in the drive: http://sturminator.blogspot.com/2011/11/breaking-down-great-drive.html

Let's hope Murray and Felix have a good year.

There's a reason why this guy is called The Senator. All of these guys, Romo included, should block out the noise and chatter, good or bad, and concentrate on the job.

This is about a guy who stars on CSI. Hollywood hasn't dimmed his Cowboys love, which is awesome. My dad and I did a lot of bonding over the Cowboys, too, so this story strikes a chord.

I think this is kinda cool.

I don't know much about this process, but it's coming up.

It's been a weird off season. Coming on the heels of (arguably) Romo's best season, negative comments about him from disgruntled former Cowboys and the usual media suspects have gotten a lot of press. The linked slide show highlights some nice comments from former players, current players, some in the media, and ownership (feel free to ignore Canty, Deion, and TO). It's not all bad, folks.

Some will complain he's not ranked higher, but what Jaws says is, nonetheless, very complimentary and on a par with what other QBs have said about him.

Pretty damned impressive.

This is from Brett Favre. I get that he said something nice about Romo in the first part, but the second part totally confuses me. What is he saying? Is he criticizing the coaches? "As for Dallas' Tony Romo, perhaps the most similar to Favre in his tendency to improvise against the grain before and after a play has broken down, the future Hall-of-Famer sees a lot of the young Favre in Romo, of whom more is expected all the time. His comment on Romo was interesting in its seeming dismissal of the Cowboys' offensive coaching staff. "Romo is probably more like me than any of those guys," Favre said. "Way too much is cast upon him — good, bad. It's Dallas and much is expected. He's carried those guys. But I'm watching last year — and I like Tony, I like the way he plays, at times he's underrated — but I'm watching and right before the snap, he's telling guys [to get into position and they don't know what they're doing.] "How in the world are you going to have a positive play when the ball is coming and you're telling a guy [to get into position, the ball is snapped] and then he'll make something out of nothing. That's part of being a great quarterback is sometimes it's not going to go. As a coach, they would love to sit there and say, 'It's going to be five steps, you're going to hitch up into a perfect pocket, you're going to look at number one — no; you're going to go to number two — no.' It doesn't work that way."

Interesting, as always.

Well, interesting, to say the least.
