Tony Romo: Dak's earned the right to be our QB
In lieu of questions from the press on Tuesday, Tony Romo decided to bear his soul instead.
In a raw statement that touched on his appreciation for the starting quarterback who bypassed him during recovery for a broken bone in his back, and the emotion that accompanies getting older in the NFL, Romo seemed to be bordering on a retirement speech over the course of his five minutes and 58 seconds at the podium.
But the fact that he wants to play again -- in his own words, the desire "burns" more significantly now than ever -- was made quite clear.
"Here you are, sidelined without any real ability to help your teammates win on the field," Romo said. "That's when you're forced to come face to face with what is happening. Seasons are fleeting and games become more precious. Chances for success diminish. Your potential successor has arrived.

Charles Woodson, Tim Brown & Jerry Rice.
This year they have 2 #1s and probably the best offensive line in football

Raiders will get fresh albeit rusty legs back on the d line when Aldon Smith and Mario Edwards return.
Carr gets better every game. He takes command with confidence. The coaches are giving him more leeway in game calling. He's going to be a great one, I think.
Good to see you JonLP24.
Onward with strength, vigilance and attitude.
