1. Well, at least the Cowboys made some history in the process: no NFL game has ever ended with a blocked punt in overtime. Doubt that makes the year-end highlight video, though. Also, rare Monday Morning Random Question, and it’s of the yes/no variety: for some reason, Andre Gurode hikes a vial containing the cure for cancer to Tony Romo. There is a slight pass rush, and his first read is covered. Do you think Romo can hold onto it? If it helps make your decision, the Cowboys are in their own territory.
2. The DMN had a nice package on DNA exonerees and the fallibility of eyewitness testimony yesterday. (Paul Kix wrote about this once upon a time, but I’m having trouble talking to the internet.) Anyway, here’s part of it, and there’s more here.
3. And finally, Bingo Gossip now operates out of Dallas. I only draw your attention to that bit of news so you won’t be surprised when 26-year-old Missy Mouser, “publisher, editor, reporter, ad sales representative and most of the circulation department” at Bingo Gossip, announces the hiring of new columnist Eric “Four Corners” Celeste.

….a vial containing a cure for cancer…. oh zac you’re such a giggle. nobody makes me say wtf more than you.
=w=
1. No. He’ll go to throw it, and it will slip out of his hands behind his head, where the opposing teams fattest, slowest player will walk it into the end zone.
Gurode still can’t snap the ball well in a shotgun formation. Why doesn’t Phillips look for a center who can snap it crisply for a change? Same problem as last season…even the season before. But that’s just one of the problems that the Cowboys have.
If Tony Romo treated the football with the same dexterity and care as he does a Metal Skool axe, we’d already be 16-0. Sure, the Cowboys have lots of problems, but it could be *far* worse — we’re still in the NFC East hunt.
There was not one interesting thing in that entire article about Bingo Gossip. It was like reading a narrative of dog’s saturday afternoon except he went on a walk so at least something would have happened in his story.
1) Reports of the fall of Romo are premature.
Yesterday’s game was a bad break following a sloppy afair. Like fathering twins with a one-night stand. Rise to the occasion the morning after! (Or make a Pac-Man with the devil.)
Why doesn’t Romo wear gloves like Rothlisberger does?
Nick Folk makes his 37 yarder and Tony Romo is the hero.
how about the fat five, aka the o-line, try to block someone for a change?!?!?! Arizona was rushing 3-FREAKING LINEMEN the whole game and they were putting Romo on his back more than he does to Jessica!
There should be no “Off Day” this week. Make the team realize that they can’t continue to play Coach Cupcake’s way and still win. Jason Garrett needs to remove his head from Jerry Jones surgically enchanced rectum and run the #@!R$S ball
ok, i’m done.
Agreed. Romo’s fumble-itis is definitely troubling. But I rewatched the game on DVR, and gee whiz, he actually had a fairly good day when you consider that he was getting popped on every play. A couple of downfield throws to TO were way off, but he was getting killed on those, as well.
What happened to the Cowboys’ dominant offensive line?
A better question would be, “If a vial of cancer cure was rushing Tony Romo, could Flozell Adams prevent it from getting around the corner and sacking him?”
/Umm, something like that…
@mh Rothlisberger wears gloves because he’s too much of a meat-head to remember to take them off after dismounting his hog.
Besides, gloves don’t help that much. Just look at Spock in Star Trek II.
