I didn’t realize Tony Romo had been injured in the Cowboys’ 30-24 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. But according to ESPN, the sprained pinkie I didn’t know he had has now been upgraded (downgraded?) to a broken pinkie, and he will miss four weeks. While Romo’s throwing hand heals, Brad Johnson has the reins. Even in light of this, I refuse to take back the joke I made in Leading Off.

Didn’t he break his pinkie last season? He played anyway. I remember because of all the “Tony Romo is healing his pinkie by sticking it in cider” jokes.
The Jessification of the Cowboys… part II
how do you spell schadenfreude? oh, yeah, like this: ‘boys and skins lose (hopefully the jints tonight, as well) as the Birds trounce the niners to climb back in the hunt for the NFC East crown
if Romo misses the next three games before the bye, your beloved ‘boys could be 4-5 at the turn
at the Rams next week, should win but now…
then Tampa at home and at the Giants and looks like yous are in trouble
oh, happy day
I wanna puke.
The boys have a lot more problems than just Romo. The daunted D gave up a lot of yards the past 2 weeks to weak teams. And Special Teams has been practically non-existent. When you have wholesale problems on a team with so much talent, someone needs to look at the top.
I like cider.
Please kill me.
Can someone tell jrp to crawl back inside whatever greasy cardbox he came out of? I’m sure the other patrons at the public library don’t appreciate his odor.
stay classy, SB
Funny coming from anyone associated with the city of Philadelphia.
Hey, the Eagles are great! They have as many Super Bowl wins as my dead granny.
Yo, I hear ya jrp. E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
Isn’t it sad when all the hopes and dreams of a team are tied to one or two players?
But now for the fantasy visual: Jessica dressed up and playing nurse.
Not to say “I told you so,” but someone around here predicted DOOM when it was announced that “Hard Knocks” was going to be filming training camp. Now I can see Trey coming in here and repeating that bromide about coincidence not equalling causation, but I’d argue that we have some evidence of causation. Not with Romo’s finger, obviously, but the laconic attitude that was pervasive during Camp Marshmallow has borne its poisoned fruit. I said 10-6 at the start of the season and at this point, the Boys will be lucky to get the wild card. Good luck selling out the overpriced PSL-bound season tix in the new JerryDome when you can’t put a winner on the field.
Am I pi$$ed? Yeah, that puts it mildly. How on earth do you let that guy block that punt untouched, just let him run right inside you and take the outside guy? Argh!
No need to write off Brad Johnson. After all, he has won a Super Bowl(XXVII). Aside, did anyone else catch the apathetic inaction of Tony after the game tying field goal?
JRP,
Eagles trounced the 49ers? The 49ers were trailing by 7, with 2 & 10 at the 50 with 48 seconds left. A late INT returned for a TD pushed the score to 14. Hardly call a football game in which a team had a shot to tie it in the last minute being trounced.
Tony Blowmo Part III.
a 23-0 4Q to win 40-26 on the road qualifies as decisive
birds only had two penaties and two punts, three sacks and a flukey blocked FG run back for a TD at the end of the half in a game they had to insert cliche here
at least McBriar averaged 47.9 yards per punt in the seven he did get off…it was that 8th one that lowered his avg for the day to 41.9
and i’ll say Mr. Mantooth did told us so and has since the show was announced in whenever that was
So a game in doubt with 48 ticks remaining qualifies as decisive?
Guess that means the shocker is out of play now.
