• Cowboys 14, Redskins 10

  The Cowboys season was saved by ... Martellus Bennett?! You shittin' me? With one foot in the grave, the Dallas Cowboys not only climbed out of a death-trap deficit tonight in Washington but also resurrected their season. Admit it, with Tony Romo short-arming wobblers and Wade Phillips’ 3-4 defense surrendering a touchdown on the Redskins’ opening drive you were beginning to kick dirt on Dallas’ coffin. Give them credit, the Cowboys did not want to die. After the opening poss

• Tony Romo Is, Indeed, a Role Model

  Tony Romo needs a nickname -- something like Mother Teresa, only more ... manly. Because just two months after the Dallas Cowboys' QB stopped to help a couple fix their flat -- only hours after getting 13 stitches in his chin following the Browns game -- today The Dallas Morning News' Cowboys Blog brings news of his latest random act of kindness. Seems Tony bought a homeless man named Doc a ticket to the movies, then invited Doc to sit with him. Best part: They went to see Role Models. (As a

• 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

• Cowboys 115, Steelers 55

  I hear we've matriculated from MySpace to Facebook, right?Well, screw me. I never got around to creating a MySpace page. Was reminded why today.Don't tell the teens and the 'tweens - or my wife - but something about the whole deal strikes as, um, ridiculously fraudulent.Like, for example, the fact that there are  exactly 72 profiles using the handle, photos and persona of "Tony Romo".A little digging and I uncovered that the Cowboys may no longer be America's Team, but, compared to Sunday's

• Stealers 20, Cowbrrrs 13

  On a day when Wade Phillips looked like George Costanza stuffed in his Gortex coat and on a day when Tony Romo looked like Brad Johnson draped in his four turnovers, the Dallas Cowboys still looked like a playoff team. Until the final 12 minutes, that is. On a brutally Pittsburghish day, the Cowboys outplayed the Steelers until it mattered in a demoralizing 20-13 loss. Dallas led 13-3 and stopped Pittsburgh on fourth-and-goal from the 1 with 12:20 remaining. Rookie Tashard Choice was surp

• The Jessica Jinx? Okay, What Then?

  How do you explain Tony Romo's worst game as a Dallas Cowboy? A) Cold, windy, atrocious throwing weather. B) Absence of his pinkie splint. C) Steelers' No. 1-ranked defense. D) The Jessica Jinx. In yesterday's excruciating 20-13 loss in Pittsburgh, Romo was down right putrid. He looked like a kid running around just to keep warm, not necessarily to make positive plays. He was like a baseball pitcher with a flaw in his mechanics. High and wide all day. Worse, his ball security was amateurish.

• One Thing Tony Romo Can't Fumble Away: The Top-Selling Sports Jersey

  Forbes this morning guesstimates that some half a million Tony Romo jerseys have been sold this year, would would make the Cowboys QB's No. 9 the top-selling top of 2008, even when you factor in baseball, basketball and that other sport that involves some kind of frozen liquid and a circle made of vulcanized rubber. Also on the Top 10 list of jerseys sold this year: Marion Barber (at N0. 8, with some 100,000 sold) and Terrell Owens, who brings up the rear at 75,000. Still, one must wonder if Jas

• 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.

• Jason Garrett: Red Jesus or Red-headed Stepchild?

  As you'll read in this week's dead-tree version of The Sportatorium, hitting newstands tomorrow, I think Wade Phillips should be fired. Immediately. No, actually, I think Jerry Jones should've walked down to the sideline in the third quarter of the Philadelphia debacle after Tony Romo unceremoniously stripped Phillips of his credibility/authority and yanked the coach right off The Gong Show. Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett? That's a different story. No doubt the Cowboys' offense - record-se

• 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

• Tony Romo Talks a Little Tougher. A Little, I Said.

  While waiting for Tony Romo's sitdown interview with Channel 11's Babe Laufenberg last night I learned a couple things. On The Grammy's, that Robert Plant and Allison Krauss are, like, together. And over on NBC5, that Roy (Safety) Williams is willing to move to linebacker. What'd I learn once Romo started talking? That someone has talked a little sense into the Cowboys' quarterback and that he's sounding a little more like a leader and a little less like an apathetic shrugger. You can watch

• 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

  Eminem's new video for "We Made You" went viral this morning. That's a blurry screen grab above. Tony Romo probably thinks it's awesome, except maybe that part where he's throwing Jessica Simpson a hamburger touchdown toward the end. I except the video should be on DC9 any moment now.

  Quick takes from a Wednesday's minicamp workout at Carrollton's Standridge Stadium: *Tony Romo says the story that appeared in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram about him being told to lose weight is total bullshit. "That never happened," Romo said with a smile. "It just didn't." ... *From what I could tell, the defense was kicking the offense's ass. Patrick Watkins intercepted Romo's deep pass off a flea-flicker, and rookie Mike Mickens picked off a deflected Jon Kitna pass over the middle ...

• Cowboys On The Verge of Signing New Receiver

  Now that Tony Romo is done with his girlfriend, his golfing and his goofs, hopefully he can start concentrating on his gift: A new wide receiver. While I was out on vacation, the Dallas Cowboys' quarterback dumped Jessica Simpson, created a buzz with this extremely unfunny video and finished second in a celebrity golf tournament. Tonight, after the finale of Spike TV's 4th and Long, Romo will have a new target as one of the show's four remaining players survives to get a cool door

  Playmaker and his pupil.​Pass along your questions or suggestions of who/what you'd like a report on and I'll watch it at tomorrow's practices. Thursday is the first day of two-a-days. Who knows, we might even see pads. 10. So much for the new-and-improved-and-tougher Wade Phillips. The Cowboys worked out for two hours in shorts and jerseys and helmets. After the leisurely practice, Phillips put them through conditioning drills - consisting of two sprints across the width of the field.

Marty B doesn't catch. He plucks. Expect to see plenty two-tight end sets with him and Jason Witten 9. At 6-2, 322, offensive lineman Montrae Holland is built like SpongeBob SquarePants. 8. Noticed something about rookie kickoff specialist David Buehler. When he kicks to the right, he steps of

That's about $11 a slice by my sportswriter math. However, Dallas Only Daily's Todd Archer says not so fast Mr. Husker Rumor Starter. 9.

And though Marion Barber played just one snap in the second half, we never received an update. 9. Not only is Kyle Orton not a good quarterback, he looks like Foo Fighters' lead singer Dave Grohl. 8.

• Should Tony Romo Re-Shuffle His Deck?

  Way back from the good ol' days.​Something's up with the Dallas Cowboys quarterback. Tony Romo's not the frolicking, free-wheeling player we fell in love with back in 2006 and '07. These days he stays in the pocket. He sulks on the sideline. Most importantly, he sucks in the game. It's different. And it ain't better. It's like when you started dating the girl and she surprised and pleased you with g-strings and heels and erotic massages and filet mignon. Then, couple years down the

  ​Thanks to this video shot by our good friend Larry Rodriguez over at Fox4, we have to question not only Tony Romo's play late in the game at Denver - but also his mind-set. You tell me, did Romo think it was third down? Was he telling the refs he had only thrown three incompletions? Is he coming out as a fan of Dale Earnhardt, Sr.?
