Romo resurrects Cowboys and self

A while back I posted that Tony Romo may be riding into the sunset, at least with the Cowboys, but in the first few games of this season, he has given the long-suffering Big D fans something to get excited about of late.
After enduring a painful back injury last season, he seems to fully healed and having fun again, along with his teammates.  A great running game will do that for you and has been getting fabulous support from his offensive line and a record-tying sixth 100 yard performance on the ground from DeMarco Murray to open the season!
It really is good to see smiles all around from Jerry in the box, to Jason (Garrett) on the sideline as well as Jason (Whitten) on the field.
It has been long enough for the most valuable NFL franchise to sputter around the lower half of the league.  Now they are 5-1 and go up against their NFC East foe New York Giants, who have been as Jekyll and Hyde this season as any of the teams that can't figure out who they are going to be thus far in 2014, but don't be surprised if both Tony Romo and the Cowboys, like Mr. Hyde, revert back to their former selves and stub their toes along this long and winding season.

Tony Romo's Last Ride?

Tony Romo seems like one of the nicer guys and best paid player in pro sports.  He plays QB for "America's Team".  He recently became a husband and even more recently a father.  Romo seemingly has it all and maybe he does, but 2012 may be his last chance to take the Cowboys to the Super Bowl or at least the NFC Championship game or he may just be a quarterback for another team sooner rather than later.

He got Dallas off on the right foot in the NFL's "kickoff" game last Wednesday by beating a inter-division foe in the defending Super Bowl champs.  The next time they play the Giants, I expect a better game from New York, but Romo can do amazing things in the regular season.  His problem has been the playoffs and the Cowboys new stadium is too big and too expensive not to have a team that reaches deep into the playoffs every year.  Cowboys owner Jerry Jones can't charge the big bucks needed to fill all those luxury boxes without great success between the lines on Sundays (well mostly Sundays).

I root for good guys and Tony Romo seems to be one of those good guys.  I hope he takes his current team to the promised land and not start over with another one in another city.
