  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

     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

  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

  A week into the healing process, how are your wounds? Mine are as raw and nasty as today's weather. Had lots of Cowboys-related thoughts while examining Dallas' autopsy and consuming Wild Card Weekend. Like: *Special teams coach Bruce Read was fired. Better late than never, I guess. *Jason Garrett and Ray Sherman are attracting interest from other NFL teams. Any other 9-7 teams with 0 playoff wins in a dozen years spawn such affection? Seems the league also drinks Dallas' Kool-Aid. *Rememb

• The Top 10 Best Current Rivalries in Sports

  Tonight's the next chapter in one of sports' best rivalries. That's right, I said best.To be a true sports rivalry - more than just a plethora of games between teams in close proximity (see Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals) - the meetings between opponents must: *Take place at an advanced level, with championships on the line. *Feature sustained excellence by both teams over a period of time. *Include some form of contentiousness, be it physical alternations or trash-talking

• Look (and Cringe at) Who's Talking

  Check that, silence is golden.First, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says quarterback Tony Romo is untouchable. "I wouldn't trade Tony for anybody." Now head coach Wade Phillips - who never addressed his team after last season and has been publicly silent since 2008 - says he hasn't talked just because, um, he hasn't wanted to. "I didn't have anything to say." So Jones wouldn't exchange Romo for, say, Peyton Manning or Ben Roethlisberger or Tom Brady or Larry Fitzgerald or ... ? A

In short: The Dallas Cowboys quarterback is no Peyton Manning. Or Joe Montana.
