Dear Romo Sadists,
To be fair, I should make it known that I am a HUGE Cowboy fan. Been so since I can remember.
That being said, I am also one of the biggest critics on the planet when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys.
I wanted to make it known how upset I am that all you paid NFL "analysts/critics" and "Monday Morning Quarterbacks" are unfairly critcizing Tony Romo.
We've ONLY yet completed but one NFL game so far in this here 2011/2012 NFL season and it seems as though you critics/football fans; nay, VULTURES, just want to perch yourselves on the most obscure branch while eagerly and impatiently waiting for Tony Romo to make a mere mistake.
I'm gonna go so far as to call said VULTURES, "Romo Sadists."
Allow me to stand up and shout, PUT DOWN THE HATERADE and GET OFF HIS BACK!
Now, I would be lying if I said I wasnt incredibly disappointed that he fumbled the ball at the 2 yard line and threw a most innoportune I.N.T. late in the fourth quarter after having a chance to go up against the NY football Jets by 14 points ON THE ROAD...on Sunday Night Football...after playing only 5 games in 2010 due to a season ending broken collarbone during this historic, momentus, heart wrenching 10th anniversary of 9/11 just outside our beloved NY City.
However, the last time I checked there are 11 guys on a football "team;" not just one.
Granted, it didnt help the "team" win when Tony threw the pick and fumbled the ball at the 2 yard line.
But it didnt help the Cowboys win when they chose to start 3 rookies on the offensive line against the immensely feared, oft bally-hooed, aggressive Rex Ryan Jet defense. It didnt help them win when the very same young offensive line missed blocking assignments resulting in a blocked punt which ended in a TD. It didnt help that they acquired a new defensive coordinator in the offseason and had VERY little time to become acclimated to the new leaders complicated scheme before the start of the regular season. On top of THAT, it didnt help them win with a completely decimated secondary. It didnt help that the very same secondary was seemingly confused on pass plays; pointing and screaming, yelling out assignments, still scrambling to get into position as the ball was being snapped. All whilst trying to master and grasp the scheme of thier newly found defensive coordinator despite enduring a lockout resulting in a shortened offseason and training camp. It didnt help that their best wide receiver and offensive weapon, Dez Bryant, was hurt in the first quarter after making a mere 3 catches AND A TD only to play the rest of the game at 50% capacity.
All you "Romo Sadists" want to condemn Tony Romo and burn him at the stake. Dont worry about all the aforementioned constituents that allowed the Jets to stay in the game. Just find Romo, find the nearest Great Basin Bristlecone Pine Tree, the strongest rope, and string his ass from the highest branch.
Here's what I know: The QB is viewed as the most valuable part of the football team; however, the operative word here is: Team......TEAM, dammit!
You win as a team, you lose as a team.
If you want to talk about Romo, here is what else i know: he has a 95.6 career QB rating which is ranked 4th ALL-TIME. Among active QB's; Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Big Ben have lower QB ratings than Tony. Only Aaron Rogers and Philip Rivers have a higher rating.
Yet, all you "Romo Sadists" insist on violently and visciously shoving his head in the FISH T4NK and never letting him up for air until the violent squirming and muffled desperate screams for help subside - just like something out of your favorite mob movie. Sad!!
Brady, Manning, Brees, and Big Ben all have Super Bowl rings.
Here is what else they had when they won the big prize: a better organization around them, and, further, better coaches (namely, Bill Belichik)!
You cant win Super Bowls if you dont have the right pieces in place; from the front office, to the scouts, to the coaches and thier schemes, right down to the players on the field.
Just ask Dan Marino, Warren Moon, Fran Tarkenton, Dan Fouts, or Jim Kelly. All Hall of Fame quarterbacks!
Let's face facts, Tony hasnt had a good coach for the bulk of his career as a starter. He had Bill Parcells who drafted him, believed in him, worked him slowly into the lineup after a few years, only to leave the organization because of the idiot billionaire owner and his ego.
That left him with Howdy Doody for four years! Uh um, sorry, Wade Phillips for crying out Pete's sake!!
Now he has Jason Garrett, and, frankly, its too early to know exactly how he will turn out as the head coach.... but the early prognosis sure is good.
Not to mention, there is STILL the very same egostistal oil tycoon and NFL team owner who has billions of dollars in his pockete - yet no real football acumen - who also insists on running the organziation on the field as well as in the front office. We ALL know that doesnt help. It's an NFL no-no. A feaux-pas, if you will. I dont have to tell you that.
Fact: IT ALL STARTS FROM THE "TOP".
Despite all this, Romo is still 39-22 in his career as a starter with a 2:1 TD to INT ratio. And, YES, he did finally get a playoff win. This is an undrafted Division 1-AA Walter Payton Award (division 1 version of the coveted Heisman Trophy) winning QB from Eastern Illinois whom we are talking about. It took him time to get his shot in the NFL and it may take him some time to get his Lombardi Trophy.
...Good things take time. Rome wasnt built in a day. All good things come to those who wait [and work hard].
Romo is a terrific NFL QB, scratch golfer, frequent pickup basketball and soccer player, and great overall athlete.
Most of all, he is a competetitor. All competitors compete. And compete he will.
He will fight, scratch, kick, claw, and scrape his way to that final whistle. Putting it all on the field before he makes that last stroll to the locker room. The reality is: its not whether you get knocked off the horse in the heat of battle before you fade into the lockerroom, but whether you live to fight another day. You gotta stand back up, dust yourself off, and climb back up on that sum bitch. Grab er by the mane, slam Percy in her playpen, and ride her screamin into the sunset. We all fall down from time to time, but its those who dont get back up on that horse that we forget about. This Cowboy will be back on that horse for this weeks road tilt at San Francisco. He will bounce back. He will live to fight another day. And this Cowboy may not get his trophy this year, but its not too far away.
Sometimes you gotta fight and dig your way through a pile of crap to get to the shimmering pot of gold.
That will quiet all the unsubstantiated allegations against our beloved Tony Romo. Eh?
Signed,
Matt Mon-ROMO

'Oh look, Tony threw an imcompletion. Let us stone him!'
'Hey, look, Tony got a delay of game penalty. Bench him, I say!'
'Oh my God, Tony got a cup of Gatorade on the sideline...does somebody need to tell him that he is playing a NFL football game and there is no time for quenching of thine thirst? Where is his head?'
