Romomantic, Ain't It?

If you didn't see that bit of magic Tony Romo pulled off Sunday against the Rams, well, you gotta see it! Third down and four and the ball is snapped a mile over his head. He gives chase, running full out toward his own goalline, boots the ball trying to pick it up, keeps chasing, finally secures it, and begins his 180 degree turn...all of this with the entire Rams' defensive line in hot pursuit. Headed up the left sideline, Romo breaks one tackle, head fakes another would-be tackler out of his jock strap, fakes a pass to avoid another, and scampers for a first down. All told, he ran about seventy yards to pick up the first down. Ultimately, that drive would end in a touchdown...and the game would be inexorably turned in the favor of the 'Boys.

Still, on a local Sunday night sports report, one Dallas sportswriter said, given the choice, he would still take Drew Brees over Tony Romo. Some people are slow learners; others are just plain retarded. Betting on Romo to be a stud for a long time to come right now is tantamount to insider trading. Comparatively speaking, guys like Brees look more ordinary every day. While Brees and the Saints falter, Romo and his Cowboys continue to flourish.

Moreover, Tony Romo may be the fastest rising stock in America. While Jerry Jones and Romo's agent haggle, the kid keeps doing magical things that raise the price of doing business. We could be looking at a nine-figure contract with 20 - 25 million in guaranteed money!

No wonder there is a movement in the gay community to bag this guy. I have read that some are showing up for games wearing shirts that say things like "Homos for Romo," and "I'm a Romosexual." In the 90's, it was Aikman and Steve Young the gay community kept trying to claim. I guess that is some sort of sign you have arrived.

Well, I am no Romosexual, myself. But, I am definitely a Romo Sapien.

Go Cowboys!
