  Not Tony Romo’s best day. But better than Brad Johnson. By a mile. Okay, I’ve got a long-distance, work-related field trip today so let’s get to it. Just for fun, let’s reveal ‘em in reverse order. Extrapolates the drama and all. Where you guys think Graham Harrell and Sam Bradford would fall on this list? 32. JaMarcus Russell – Raiders 31. Marc Bulger – Rams 30. Matt Hassellbeck -- Seahawks 29. Tyler Thigpen – Chiefs 28. Sage Rosenfels – Texans 27.

  Donovan McNabb benched? Matt Cassel with back-to-back 400-yard games? Just when you think the quarterback world has gone crazier than George Clooney, Tony Romo finally returns to being, well, Tony Romo.   Moving around in the pocket to produce 341 yards and three touchdowns.   Moving up in the rankings to produce more  cries of "Homer!".32. Ryan Fitzpatrick -  Bengals 31. Matt Hassellbeck - Seahawks 30. Marc Bulger - Rams29. Tyler Thigpen - Chiefs28. JaMarcus Russel

• NFL Quarterback Rankings: Week 14

     Homer this.   Despite missing three games with a broken pinkie, Dallas Cowboys' quarterback Tony Romo leads all NFL quarterbacks in:   *QB Rating (103.2)   *Average yards per pass attempt (8.5)   *TD-Interception ratio ( 13)   If you watched his 331-yard, three-touchdown performance on Thanksgiving, there's no doubt Romo is back to being Romo. Which is great news for the Cowboys, and bad news for the quarterbacks he's leap-frogging i

  Okay, I'm swamped up to here penning a cover story about a former Cowboy you haven't thought about in a long time, so let's make this snappy. Besides, isn't it best to eat your crow on the run? After praising Cowboys' quarterback Tony Romo in a swath of I-told-you-so's last week, he went out and looked like the goofball from the worst flag football team you ever played on. Goofy grins. Running to the heater between plays. Sailing passes. Fumbling. Throwing high and wide intercep

• NFL Quarterback Rankings: Week 16

  Tony Romo, all is forgiven. At least for a week. After one of the most Gawd-awful performances of his career - or, let's face it, any career - in Pittsburgh, the Cowboys' quarterback went out Sunday night and padded his legacy with a game straight from Hollywood. Aching back and nagging teammates be damned, Romo willed Dallas to a crucial victory over the Giants by throwing two touchdowns, committing zero turnovers and withstanding four brutal sacks. Two more games like that and

• Final NFL Quarterback Rankings

  According to the Pro Bowl, Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner are the two best NFL quarterbacks of 2008. According to me, nonsense. Warner has the best receivers in the league and throws in the worst division in football. Manning was steady, but hardly spectacular. My rankings, which take into account quarterback rating, team record, TD-to-Int differential and which way the wind's blowing, culminate today. And my winner - surprise - ain't even headed to Hawaii. 32. Dan Orlovsky - Lions 31

• Is Tony Romo Better Than Kurt Warner?

  Arizona Cardinals' geezer quarterback Kurt Warner won a playoff game last Saturday. He'll start for the NFC in the Pro Bowl. But he also wears gloves. On both hands. Even when he plays indoors. Oh yeah, he's also a religious nut who draws a really crappy God/Jesus/Homeless Guy. (Props to Mike Fisher over at DallasBasketball.com for his latest artist's rendering.) In other words, he's the anti-Tony Romo.

• Romembering the Tony We Fell in Love With

  Perhaps our expectations toward an undrafted free agent who suddenly has fame, fortune and a hot female are a tad unrealistic? Perhaps.I bet there were times over the last month when you read Tony Romo's "sun'll come out tomorrow" quotes and profanely muttered, "Man, he needs a $%&*$#@ publicist!" Well, he's got one. Same one he's had since - before, actually - he ascended to the throne of starting quaterback of the Dallas Cowboys. But Dallas-based Vivian Fullerlove is more facilitato

  Apparently, somebody at Dallas City Hall is cleaning out the prize closet to make a few extra dollars during the budget crunch.Every so often, just for grins, I check out the auctions at Lone Star Online, which the city of Dallas, Dallas Area Rapid Transit, the Dallas Independent School District and other municipalities use to move surplus merch. Only, turns out the city of Dallas isn't offloading flat-tire forklifts or Reunion Arena seats this go-round; quite the opposite. Matter of fact, in th
