We haven't made the greatest moves recently but one thing we don't have to worry bout our players being felons.

Aikman: Romo hasn't 'fully grasped' being 'Boys QB

Troy Aikman, who does color commentary for NFL on FOX broadcasts, called out quarterback Tony Romo in a radio interview Tuesday for some questionable actions and comments during the young QB's career.

"I think maybe things happened so quickly for Tony in terms of obscurity to all of a sudden national spotlight that he hasn't fully grasped what being the Cowboys quarterback is all about," Aikman said to former teammate Michael Irvin, who hosts a radio show on ESPN Radio. "And you don't go to Cabo the week before a playoff game. You just don't do it.

"It didn't take away from his preparations. I know that. I mean, everything he says is I think accurate. I don't think that had any bearing. But to say, 'I don't worry about perception,' you better worry about perception, because it's a big part of making it through some very difficult times."

Romo went on a vacation with singer and girlfriend Jessica Simpson during the Cowboys' bye week during the playoffs last season. Dallas lost to the eventual Super-Bowl champion Giants.

Romo ended three weeks of silence Wednesday night..."I'm definitely going to take a more active approach with that as we move forward..." yada, yada, yada...zzzzzzzz.

What's funny about this to me is how many Cowboys fans are on his bandwagon as if he is the best thing since Troy Aikman. Do these people not realize that he has been on the Cowboys roster for, what, 7 years now? If he hasn't figured out what it means to be a starting QB in this league at this point, he never will.

Most Cowboys fans are bandwagon fans. A few months ago I left a comment on an ESPN article, and there was a Cowboys fan talking a bit of smack. I started to ask him why he was a Dallas fan being from California (San Francisco) and being fan of mostly CA teams in other sports (basketball, hockey, baseball). So he told me that during the 90s, the Cowboys were the only good team that he saw on TV. I didn't pursue that matter further, but it seems that this guy was under a rock when the 49ers were a perennial playoff team in the 90s.

You have a point. My brother & I were talking today about how the Redskins are one of those teams where, if you are a fan, you are a fan. You don't jump on & off the bandwagon depending on their w/l columns. The Cowboys on the other hand have more bandwagon jumpers then AA meetings & most of them...well, what I hear in my head is "Rocky...road...?"


That being said, one of my best friends is a die-hard Cowboys fan from DC. When I ask him why he's a Cowboys fan, he says it's because he wanted to be against everyone else. Everyone around him was a Redskins fan growing up & that is simply his personality. He has never jumped on or off simply because they were winning or losing. He is also one of the most knowledgeable football fans that I know...& as a Cowboys fan, he HATES Romo.

I watched this show last night and it was actually pretty good. I can tell you it no tea party and by the end of the workouts half of the guys where blowing grits. Most of the guys where people thought good enough to get drafted but for one reason or another never made it. Some had injury issues, another needed to take care of his family, one had drug issue, some say they just ahd bad agents that cost them spots in the NFL. Last night they worked on special teams as they feel thats their best chance to get on the team. They even did some pretty hard hitting as these guys view this as there last chance to get in the NFL.

Out of sheer, morbid curiousity (and the fact that there was nothing on TV last night) I watched some of it too. Didn't really mind Bates and the other coach, but Irvin makes me want to vomit. I keep thinking when he's giving his motivational rah, rah crap, about teammates depending on you in the 4th qtr., if that applies to teammates whose throat he cut. How about Irvin STFU, go do a couple more lines, and hook up with some high $$$ escorts. F-Irvin and F the Cowgirls and their fair-weather psuedo fans!

This show could be watchable if Irvin wasn't involved.
