[quote=GMScud;502524]I can't believe Jerry Jones is taking him back. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice....

I don't even think it's debatable- Pacman will F-up again, and Jerry will continue to look foolish for this. I just don't understand. Short of a few nice punt returns in Tennessee, what the hell has this loser done anyway?[/quote]

Jerry Jones is so desparate to try and win a Superbowl that he will do anything no matter what the cost. This is a good thing for us because he will eventually destroy all the work that Parcells did just like he did after getting rid of Jimmy.

I thought Snyder was going to be a Jones clone and at first he was as a new owner. Luckily it seems Snyder has figured it out and lets others make the football decisions.

sand thanks for the 25 years of service that enables all Americans to operate any way they want( as long as its within the boundaries of the law) lots of people take it for granted. i try not to. anyway, thanks for everything

Re: Tony Romo
 

Wow, reading some of these post...is incredible...we shouldnt be hating on this, i mean sure i wouldnt post something like this on a rival teams board, but seriously...hearing about this show one of the few bright spots in todays world of National Sports. So many athletes these days are getting in trouble, selfish, e.t.c and ive seen people (not nesscary on this site) but in other places that they say "Ohh blah this, blah that" but when someone of fame does something nice, people have to start bashing on it.
If im wrong on this then tell me, but this seems to be how it is in todays world

Re: Tony Romo
 

true. that was a good move on his part. but i still hate em 2.

I can't believe you said that. Pacman is supporting college girls by letting it "Rain." lol.

Look at Ricky Williams of Miami supporting the Swiss bars by going over and smoking up. lol.

Re: Tony Romo
 

As long as Romo keeps the 13 year playoff winless streak alive, he can take whoever the wants to the movies.

Well the only thing with that is it Ricky Williams has finally got his issues straight. The same cant be said for Pacman

I left a comment on Cooleys blog about that. Good, good, stuff.

Re: Tony Romo
 

[quote=WaldSkins;502387]Tony Romo sounds like he is a class act. Maybe he should rub up against Pacman and some of the other cowboy standouts so he could give them a little class.[/quote]


Agreed.

Re: Tony Romo
 

[quote=sandtrapjack;502515]It really does not matter if the name is Tony Romo, Clinton Portis or Jo-Jo the dogfaced boy, it is just plain good to hear celebrity giving back and not expecting anything in return. Period.

Sure many big name players have thier "charities" or "foundations" that are named after them, but they do get something back in the huge tax break they get.

But to hear about players that do little things like this is just plain refreshing to see. No matter what uniform they wear. Romo is the same guy that stopped on a busy Dallas highway and changed a flat tire for an elderly couple that was stranded. He also just made a spur-of-the-moment cameo appearance at a Dallas High School Football teams pep-rally (he also took his good friend Will Smith with him).

Lots of players do these things, and I am with the majority when I say that we need to hear more about the good things that happen (like this) and not the bad things (like Pacman Jones or Larry Johnson).

I am a 25 year retired veteran and was asked to speak at a local school here to the students on Veterans Day, and that is just the message I brought to them. That for every bad thing they hear on the evening news about Iraq and Afghanistan, there are 100 good things that are military men and women are doing that you don't hear about.

Would I have started this thread on a rival board? Probably not, but giving D'BOYZ his due, these things are good to hear none-the-less.[/quote]

While I generally agree the points regarding the media. Who would have thought the media would present, and paint untruthful pictures of news and events.
However, regarding the Romo post.
While mowing the grass, I sometimes step in the odd pile of dogshit in my yard. I view this as a misstep on my part, and hope it will wear off during the remainder of the mowing event. I DO NOT however, walk back to that pile and step in it again........

Ricky Williams should not be compared to Pac at all. Ricky made bad personal choices which hurt him (some might say his team mates too) but he did not do things to harm others.

AND Ricky was "passed sentence on" by the league and banished to the CFL, etc. He paid his dues, and is naturally back in Miami doing a good job!

Taking the entire day off to watch a movie explains a lot about this guy's work ethic and why he's homeless...

The more you think about it is Romo caused the guy to skip a days work and was a bad infulence on a person who has little to nothing.

Soooo....by extension, Romo has had a negative influence, NAY...DEMONIC influence on an innocents life, leading him down a path of transgression? ROGER DO YOUR DUTY! To the CFL!
Just another job well done.....
HTTR!

Re: Tony Romo
 

Romo is a little too smug to be doing deeds of this nature. I don't buy it for a second!

Yea he had that smug look on his face when that elderly couple drove off after fixing their flat. Why the smug look? Only he knew that he did not tighten up the lug nuts. He also had a smug look while Doc sat beside him at the movies. Why the smug look? He knew the guy was missing a days work and would be starving for the rest of the night while he kicked back in his five million dollar home.

Re: Tony Romo
 

Hey guys, If you run out and buy Cosmopolitan you can see a picture of Romo inside the latest edition. I saw it today while was looking at my wife's sitting on the pot and just thought "how appropriate".

I think D'BOYZ should do it for the same reasons he started this thread. To show the human factor.

With the way the dallas fans come here I wonder if they even have a site, or maybe the members are so dumb the ones with any sense at all come here.

Re: Tony Romo
 

I'm rather disturbed that this thread has 5 pages.

End of the week, coming off a loss, pregame boredom. :)

Re: Tony Romo
 

I heard that Romo and TO were in the back of the locker room making out after their game now that they are back in love with each other.
