    everyone says which teams are going to win. i say every team is in the spotlight as well as every player when you are on the field you can feel every eye watching you. if one player qb, rb, or just a tackle does not do the job he was hired to do the team suffers. all of us fans can blame romo for dallas or the girl they date, but if you have no team all will lose. i loved watching as aikmen and emmitt smith said i couldn't have made it without the line and the other players knew they were needed. dallas will come back and when they do every person dallas fan or not will say i was backing them. we are fans and want our team to win. we like the football teams are a team also we want a win and no matter which team. we are jumping with joy that they pulled it off, while telling each other why the other team lost. i tell you put on the equipment, go out and stand on the field, take a few passes, take a few hits, or miss either and them i ask for you to tell me what was done wrong. did we run wrong route, did line not block, did romo throw to slow, or what. all players are important as well as all fans so let's go play football and once again see we got a winner.

    # 79, Aikman did not win a single game his 1st year, and the cowboys only won 1 game, Aikmans 2nd year missed the playoffs, 3rd year lost the 1st playoff game. outside of that, i agree with you on Romo, he gave his all, the team as a whole lost, missed blocks, dropped passes, injuries, stopping short on routes, missed tackles, blown coverages....
    # 73, i mostly agree with you, but i have to admit, we sports fans know a little more than absolutely nothing about the game, c'mon we all watch it, but there are so many of us that think we know more than the people that actually have a job in the NFL, that have reality problems. so in short we see enough to form an opinion, but lack the discipline to keep them to ourselves, to keep from sounding like complete morons. LOL

    and Jason G., you might want to check out California, Massachusetts, or New York if your looking for a mate !!!!, and stop fantasizing about Romo, he don't seem to be your type, he dates women !!!!

    Lets set the record straight for the uninformed.

    Bob Ryan, the Vice President and editor-in-chief of NFL Films, coined this for the Cowboys in 1979. After preparing and editing the team’s 1978 season highlight film he had to come up with a title for the film. [7] He was quoted as saying:

    I wanted to come up with a different twist on their team highlight film. I noticed then, and had noticed earlier, that wherever the Cowboys played, you saw people in the stands with Cowboys jerseys and hats and pennants. Plus, they were always the national game on television.

    During the Cowboys' first game of the 1979 season, a nationally televised game against the St. Louis Cardinals (which Dallas won 22-21), the television announcer for CBS introduced the Cowboys as America’s Team and the name stuck.

    Dallas's Hall of Fame coach Tom Landry originally did not approve of the appellation of America's Team. He felt that it would give opposing teams extra incentive to play harder. Eventually he gave in and actually came to like the name.

    I can't wait for the season to start so we can disect the game results. These BS off season stories lack any merit they could have contained. Just a few more weeks!

    Most of the comment I have read are stupid and has nothing to with the out come of a football game. Romo's trip to Mexico before a play off game had nothing to do with the results of the game. Romo having a celebrity girlfriend has nothing with how he plays the game of football. You're (all) idiots if you think it does. The out come of a football is not completely upon the shoulders of the quarterback. If you will remember the injuries this past season, 2 running backs injured. You don't think that played an important part in the out come of each game? You're an idiot! When Romo said losing a football game was not the end of the world...that comment is the truth and has nothing to do with how hard he competes. You're stupid if you think Romo should be all tearful and crying like a little baby over the Dallas Cowboys losing a football game. Did he put out the effort? Did he try hard? That's all that counts. Most of you (except the Dallas haters) know how good Troy Aikman was but didn't the Cowboys only win 2 game his first year as the Dallas Cowboy quarterback? They didn't even get to the playoffs During Aikmans first year. Did they make it to the playoff in Aikmans second year? Every quarterback in every game makes a mistake, or two. Like YOU don't make mistakes? You're an idiot!

    Wade, TONY is the one who needs to go to the other players who are slacking off and jump their butt, not you! He needs to take charge and get in their faces and tell them to get it together! And his teammates need to back him up. We need players who can lead and inspire the other players. The Cowboys biggest need is leadership.

    Willie C, Tony Romo is Latino. I don't think color has anything to do with anything as far as Cowboy controversy goes.

    Ken, do your research. DALLAS did not name themselves America's Team. A sports writer, (go figure, always causing problems) came up with the label, and it just stuck. So before you go spouting off things you don't know about, get your facts straight.

    How many of you have played in the NFL? My guess is, 0. Therefore, you know nothing about the game. You can be a sports writer, be a fan, even be a family member of the player, and you will still have no idea what it's like. Until you've put on those pads, and performed out there on the field, keep your mouth shut. Same goes for Jaime Aron, the writer of this article.

    All of you are so quick to judge these players, but have no basis to make any real judgement. I'd like to come to each and every one of your offices and critique every single move you make. I'd like to critize you for every fight you get in with your spouse, or every meeting you've been late for. I want to be able to tell you how fat and digusting most of you are because all you do is sit on the computer and on your couches and play video games and think you know something about football. Just because you can muster up enough strength to change the channel, while simultaneously shoving a handful of cheetos in your mouth, does not make you a football expert.

    Some of you want to talk about leadership? Odds are you can't even lead a phone call, much less a NFL game with 100,000 people in the stadium, and an entire nation watching. You couldn't lead your way out of a wet paper bag.

    There are those who are going to say I'm just defending Romo, but reality is I'm talking about all athletes out there. Yes, they are in the spotlight. Yes, they know what they're getting in to. And yes, some even deserve SOME of the grief. For those who are out there working hard, not shooting themselves, not dog fighting, not hitting people with their cars, not doing drugs, back off.

    Sad thing is if and when Dallas whens a Super Bowl, all these sports writers, and fans who don't support Romo now will suddenly be his biggest fan. Everyone wants to be on the winning team, and there are very few who will take a step back and say, "I was wrong".

    to willc...you are a jerk...what does color have to do with it? Let's not go there homey...Romo will do his thing, TO was good, jerks like you and the media keep putting the spotlight back on him. If you are a "COWBOYS" fan roll with the colors of blue, silver and white and let that skin color roll off of your back ya dig?
