Tony Romo plays quarterback as if Keanu Reeves or maybe Adam Sandler turned down the part first.
The story gets better every week: Undrafted kid out of Eastern Illinois rises slowly from obscurity, surviving apprenticeship under wicked head coach who won't let him practice his magic; finally given his shot, commits faux pas that might do in a lesser action hero; comes back with a vengeance; dates celebrities, stars in commercials, capitalizes on most famous dimple since Kirk Douglas' chin; is seen smiling Sunday as he ambles onto the field with 2 minutes, 15 seconds left, down by six, 83 yards to cover.
What if the Cowboys had led the entire game and simply withstood a late rush by the Lions for a 28-27 victory?
Where's the drama? Who's a hero?
What's the fun in that?
In bringing the Cowboys from behind nine times in a 12-1 start that clinched the club's first division title in nine years, Romo has forged a legend at warp speed.

Yeah, it was right to wait with him.

The thing is, I am practically suffering from cardiac arrest and poor Quality's dog thinks he's going to get beat, and that darn Romo thinks its fun. I saw him smiling and laughing during those 2 minutes. Sure has got confidence.
