pr0d1gy Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 There are some specific reasons as to why Romo is a star already. A surprising stat I heard the other day is that his career QB rating puts him in the top 5 all-time if he retired today, even with all his turnovers.Linky for non-believers.That alone would make him a star, but playing for the Cowboys only helps to increase that status. Added to this is the Jessica Simpson story, him earning the starting job without being a high pick, and the fact that T.O. cried in Romo's defense; and you have a superstar media darling. The question shouldn't be why is Romo is a star, it should be how uninformed do you have to be to think he isn't a star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstiary Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I am going to try and bring some sanity to this thread, because I am seeing some really smart people say some really silly things.If Tony Romo put up his numbers as an Atlanta Falcon, he would be the franchise record holder in:Career passer ratingPassing yards in a season300 yard games (18)300 yard games in a singe season (7)Career competion percentageCareer passer ratingPassing TDs in a seasonMost TD passes in a game - tiedMost wins as QB in a season - tiedCareer Best win percentage as QBCareer most yards per attemptCareer passing TD percentageSo if he were a Falcons player, and he had done all of this in less than 3 seasons, would we be calling him overrated or overhyped?I doubt it.No man, it's only because he has a star on his helmet /sarcasm.

Firstiary Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Not well, but I know that making fun of someone's name by calling them a homo isn't a Christian thing to do. You could just go with:"Yeah, you're right." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in church the other day and the sermon was about living your life as a christian all the time rather than just some of the time, and I wanted to see what your thought process was when you made a comment like that, since you present yourself as a christian on the board.

You could just go with:"Yeah, you're right."How about, "I felt like making a joke on a guy who plays on a rival team and no real ill was meant." or "I actually have tons of respect for his accomplishments coming from nothing and not even being drafted." or "I'm on a board amongst friends and decided to go half cocked." Am I not allowed to have fun because I am a Christian? This is why my job is so difficult. Context man. It would be very different if I heckled him in person with the same comment, but I did not and would not and thats out of love for the guys. Romo and Delhomme. I don't understand why a joke can cause so much ill on THIS board, but I assure you that no true harm was meant and if either saw it they would laugh. My Pastor has called me "Under-WARE" for my last name and I take no offense from it. NONE. Why? Because I'm not going to take ANYTHING like that personal.Calling out my faith, however, is personal. Think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gacowboy Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I know its all in fun, but someone needs to come up with a funnier nickname for Romo that Tony Homo............ooooo change the first letter nice!. Same could be said about the Falcons:Shoddy WhiteInjurious NorwoodMicheal Clinkens. Then Chris Houston is just Toast Jr, cause he is always getting burnt. And Toast Sr. was D. Hall.We can all make fun of names, but instead of that, lets just discuss some real football and look forward to the game this week, which the Cowboys will win!

This was on Saturday. I am no longer known for joking, but I'm feeling a little like it today. I go through a lot and would like to have more fun sometimes. My wife is due any second and I'm all over the place having slept very little. Please cut me some slack. Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the name of originality, I would take a different route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gacowboy Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 That one's not too bad, actually.As for your boys, OT vs the Chiefs and you're talking smack to us? Well we should have blown the Chiefs out, but ill be the first to admit we played sloppy. Im thinking they will get a lot of those issue resolved in the bye week. Because we had something like 13 penalties, several on 4th down. And ONE HORRIBLE CALL, when the Boys had the Chiefs backed up at the end of the game, 3rd and 26 and the ref called unessecary roughness on the Cowboys, on a very clean hit.Im hoping for a good game, but of course a different result than you guys. Plus im friends with several Falcons fans, that I would love to rag about how we beat them, as im sure many of you would love to Rag some Cowboys.
