Cowboys/Packers Showdown Breakdown

It’s time for another supergood partytime local athletic team preview with me, your Resident Sports Expert. This time, the city is atwitter with tonight’s match-up between your Dallas Cowboys and those cheeseheads from the north, the Green Bay Packers. Both teams are 10-1 and are vying for a spot in the most super of all bowls—that’s right, the Super Bowl.

So who will walk away victorious from tonight’s game? Hard to say, even for me, your Resident Sports Expert. But as everyone knows, behind every good team is a great quarterback. Let’s take a look at tonight’s starting QBs, Tony Romo and Brett Favre, in a head-to-head comparison, after which, I’ll make my prediction.

What he brings to the table:
Favre: The seasoned veteran. Older, and presumably wiser. He brings with him experience, maturity, and know-how.
Romo: The boy wonder. Seemingly can do no wrong. (Besides that whole fumbling the snap thing last year. That was pretty bad.) He brings with him youthful exuberance, enthusiasm, and dimples.
Advantage: Favre

Claim to Fame:
Favre: Has won three Associated Press NFL MVP trophies (1995-1997).
Romo: Has been linked to three trophy girlfriends (Carrie Underwood, Sophia Bush, Jessica Simpson).
Advantage: Though he loses points for the Britney Spears blip, Romo still takes this one.

Things Outside of Football I’ve Seen Him In:
Favre: The Farrelly brothers’ 1998 comedy, There’s Something About Mary.
Romo: Diet Pepsi Max and ESPN SportsCenter commercials; YouTube video singing “Don’t Stop Believin’” with rock cover band, Metal Skool.
Advantage: Favre

Trademark look:
Favre: Wrangler Jeans.
Romo: Backwards hat. With dimples.
Advantage: Romo

What I Imagine He Smells Like:
Favre: Three fingers of Glenlivet, with a little bit of pepper and some cheese.
Romo: Drakkar Noir.
Advantage: Draw

Marital Status:
Favre: Married, with two daughters.
Romo: Single, and ready to mingle.
Advantage: Romo

Reason I Think He Deserves to Win:
Favre: Let’s face it, Favre’s no spring chicken. He may retire soon, and it’s been a while since he’s won a ring. He doesn’t have many opportunities left.
Romo: Because he’s led the Cowboys to their best start in franchise history. Also, dimples.
Advantage: Romo

Prediction:
Romo wins in a close one. The Cowboys will defeat the Packers 21-17. Count it.
