Who the hell would buy this?


It's time to start getting excited about the 2009 season, and I don't want to be negative once training camp really kicks in, so let me get this out of the way now: Who would buy a piece of memorabilia like this? It's a tribute collage of Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman and Tony Romo. Sorry, but Romo does not belong in this company. Staubach and Aikman are Hall of Famers who helped the Cowboys win five Super Bowls and eight NFC titles. Romo has never even won one playoff game. He is not even the third greatest quarterback in Dallas history. As of today, both Don Merideth and Danny White were better. Don't you think memorabilia like this is jumping the gun a bit? I support Tony and obvioulsy want him to do well, and even if he wins just one Super Bowl someday I could deal with it, but right now, stuff like this is just plan stupid. Agree?

What was it Bill Parcells said three years ago about Romo? "Don't get out the anointing oil just yet." Cleary, some have gone far beyond that. Danny White won some big playoff games and took them to the NFC Championship Game three times, and he's not even talked about that much or in the Ring of Honor. I have no idea who would buy this.

Absolutely agree. Hell, Danny White is more of an Cowboys icon than Romo is, as of now.
