Tom Brady vs. Tony Romo


I have a hard time justifying this comparison. Especially in a 48-27 route. The only reason I want to do so is to tell you all the reasons I think Tony Romo is a hack. Sundays game showcased two of the most potent offenses in the NFL. Billed as a matchup between Randy Moss and Terrell Owens it really became a quarterback clinic ran by Tom Brady. 31/46 388 yards and 5 touchdowns without an interception. Its amazing how easy he makes it look. He did it last year with a bunch of "nobody receivers" he is doing it this year with arguably the best wide receving corp in the league. If its not Moss its Stallworth. If its not Stallworth it is Welker. On top of it all he is modest...a great team guy...and he doesnt throw teammates under the bus like some quarterbacks will do (reason 1). Said Tony Romo after Sundays lost. "I would like to see what would have happened if there wasnt a hold on that 4th and 1. The game was over with that holding penalty." Nice Tony.
Tony Romo thinks he is Hollywood (reason 2). Dates Carrie Underwood. Kind of too big for his britches...and you know he hasnt really done a thing yet. Always smiling...appears to be having a good time...all the time (reason 3). I am always weary of the guys who are "always smiling"..."cutting it up" even in a loss. Makes me wonder how much they really care. His numbers were average 18/29 for 199. A couple touchdowns and a pick. Never really made the big play though.
So it looks like Randy got the best of TO. Brady got the best of Romo. And the Patriots got the best of the Cowboys. I wonder...who America's team really is.
