Any Cowboy fans here?

Even better than listening to ex-players is listening to current players describing the plays they were involved in, which is exactly what we had an opportunity to do when Tony Romo talked in detail about his TD throw to Witten during the post-game press conference on Sunday.

What we'll do for the rest of this post is go through what Romo said word-for-word and see how that fits with the game tape that we have.

Even if not, seeing this broken down is pretty interesting - even for this Football Coach. Figured some may like it.

I guess by the time I was 8, so that’s 1975. I don’t know how much of a ride they’ve got in them this time, but it’s been fun watching. And I haven’t been able to say that for a while. Hell, my son (17 now) has never even seen them win a Super Bowl.

Got to the TV about 10 minutes into the 1st Qtr and was surprised at the 14-0 score.

Romo was fired up. Even Weeden’s throw for a TD was outstanding.

However, it seems if teams have ‘clinched’ their conference, they don’t play as hard. The Colts had already clinched their division. Maybe they were just tuckered out.

Not too sure. Don’t think I’ve seen any Cowpokes fans in these here parts. Bend, have you?

Got you beat there, since the 60’s. Huge Staubach fan.

Always loved the comment by Landry to the question whether they could stop some Green Bay running back: if they stay between the sidelines, Lee Roy (Jordan) will get em.

With Murray healthy and Romo focused, AND the offensive line they’ve been building for the last 5 drafts, the pieces are coming together. I like Jason Garrett’s Landryesque sideline style, and there are fewer thugs and more in the mold of Staubach and Smith (Jason Witten comes to mind).

Now, if we could only fire the owner...

The jargon makes it sound more complicated than it really is. If you’ve been doing a job for 10 plus years, you better be pretty good at it.

Even jobs at McDonalds or Wal-Mart can sound complicated to a novice.

I love cowboys. Also farmers.

Pampered athletes, not so much.

Lifelong. And I do enjoy hearing about things like this -

Washington Redskins fans to hold wake at bar during game against Eagles to mourn the season
