1. Well one piece of news makes me sad..the other not so much..

I'm sad to see no Big Brown matchup with Curlin..as for the other....:P

[charlie and algernon]

3. this could determine the NFC East race

with it so tight, no team can afford an injury like this. The eagles got lucky in that Buckhalter has been an adequate replacement to Westbrook.

6. Gee, I wonder which piece of news is

just ripping you up inside. :P

[madinmaryland]

8. Typical of a deadskins fan. Gloat over someone getting wounded.

Very "Philly" of you!

If you may recall, I was very upset when your Sean Taylor was murdered last year.

:grr:

[TZ]

9. Well a broken finger is a little different my friend

I've actually had a broken finger..Mine was fine in two weeks...
Its just seems such a little thing to keep Romo out for a whole month...

[madinmaryland]

11. Nice post, McCain. Don't "my friend" me!!1!!

:rofl:

I think the Cowboys have a bye week coming out, so Tony will probably miss only a couple of games.

22. Maybe it was a Joe Theisman-type broken finger ...

Could you hear it snap on TV?

2. Brad Johnson, starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. Hey, Vike fans!!!

You finally got us back for the Herschell thing!! :rofl:

[Shakespeare]

4. Aw, fuck.

5. So is Jessica going to dump him now?

That would seem in with her character - I can just hear her dad "That Romo is washed up - you need star power to boost your career. How about Toby Keith?"

[charlie and algernon]

7. you mean Brad Johnson doesn't have any star power?

he leaves the Vikings and everyone forgets about him :P

[TZ]

10. Hey don't forget..he used to be a Redskin too!

Boy he's sure gotten around...

[madinmaryland]

12. Isn't he the only QB during Snyder's reign to have a winning record??

:rofl:

And now he is a Cowboy!!

[sarahdemva]

13. Tony Romo is very hot!!

I hope he recovers soon.

[madinmaryland]

14. Welcome to DU. He should be back soon.

[sarahdemva]

15. Thank you

I was looking for a place for new people to post and i saw a post about Tony Romo. Anyway, i hope to contribute more once i see whats going on.

[LSK]

16. oh shit!!! Romo is my fantasy QB

Good thing I got Orton on the bench and I am 6-0.

[jobycom]

17. Next four weeks: St Louis, Tampa Bay, Giants, bye week.

I think Brad Johnson can handle St Louis and Tampa Bay, and the way Romo has played this year, he may not be able to handle the Giants, anyway. After a little rest, a bye week, and a skipped spanking by the Giants, he should be better than ever.

Just in time to avenge himself on the Redskins!

[TZ]

19. Ha! I wouldn't assume anything

Skins beat the Cards but lost to St. Louis....And Tampa/John Gruden being his old team..they probably will be able to defend agaisnt him well...

[littlebit]

18. Well there went any hope for a playoff run.

Brad Johnson sucks. Dallas will probably lose their next four games. Now I am going to be depressed for the next four weeks.

[Awsi Dooger]

20. Picture of Big Brown's injury

[TZ]

21. Ouch!

Thats gotta hurt...Oh well at least its not gonna cripple him....:(

[Bake]

23. Apparently his "important parts" still work ...

I assume he's retiring to stud service?

Bake

[TZ]

24. Yep. I believe its a 40 million dollar stud deal

Nice life huh?

[Bake]

25. Hey, **I** could do that, too.

Of course I could. Sigh.
