Deadspin
Another reason YouTube is changing our lives in new and exciting ways: The already infamous Tony Romo fumble moment from Saturday night is being reenacted by spasming lonely fools in their bedrooms. You're totally wrong, Cuban: YouTube is Allah's gift to us all!
Anyway, we're not sure what much more we can say about Mr. Romo's folly that hasn't been mentioned already — though we appreciate the Eastern Illinois alumni blog Old Man Vein doing what they can to rally the troops — so we, along with everyone else, wonder what's next for the plucky soul. If he can't recover mentally, hey, they could always bring back Chad Hutchinson.

I feel that guys pain.
I would like a follow-up video from this guy: http://www.deadspin.com/sports/nfl/football-is-so-painful-...
Nice PJs
I feel bad for Tony. I think his problem of late has been letting this crap go to his head. He used to live, eat, and breathe football. It seemed that once everyone in Dallas worshiped the ground he walked on, he studied less and it started to show.
He will bounce back.

Say what you like about dude and his mental and emotional capacity, but you gotta respect those jammies.
Does that make Peter King the Scotty to Tony Romo's Dirk Diggler? And the Ewing Theory doesn't become the Bledsoe Theory anymore?

In times like these, you just want somebody who will hold you, love you, make it all feel better. Which is why Peter King's voicemail had about twelve messages on it after the game.
Goathair - You mean Romomentum.
TastesLikeBurning, it's on Kissing Suzy Kolber.
Maybe one of those "warts" Parcells was talking about was on Romo's hand.
Finally one of the writters on SI.com mentioned if Gramatica had even sneezed on the Seattle guy who tackled Romo - Romo would have had the first down.
In all seriousness though, shouldn't this (meaning the final play only) just mean that he loses his holding job? And wasn't he due to lose said job anyway? That's why you have the punter do that shit - so that when an earth-shattering fumble happens, you just get rid of him... now you have a starting qb with a ruined psyche - all because he failed at his secondary job
Romomentum will return. I'm also hoping that Jerry Jones unloads TO and his dropped passes for some draft picks or secondary players, because our secondary is pretty bad.
If he does recover mentally he'll be the next Drew Henson...nah Quincy Carter.
As a Romosexual, this pains me.
Let's not forget: Only 10 games started, weak O-line, etc.
I hope BurghGirl is right.
woof
combat chuck,
thank you. just thank you. words are just too much sometimes.
Mom, I can't come to supper. I'm re-enacting Tony Romo botching the snap for You Tube!
1990 called, they want their Zubaz pants back..
Laugh all you want at Tony Romo, but he gets to go home and fuck Carrie Underwood so you can't totally feel bad for the guy
"Finally one of the writters on SI.com mentioned if Gramatica had even sneezed on the Seattle guy who tackled Romo - Romo would have had the first down."
i was saying the same thing, then one of my friends made a good point about grammatica: he's a KICKER.
Go Gators!
In elementary school, we all had a "helmet head". The kid with "special needs" that wore a helmet in class for his own protection.
Yeah, well . . .
he gets to go home and fuck Carrie Underwood so you can't totally feel bad for the guy
Yes, because hugging once on a field = going home to fuck her.
And Will, how'd you find video of me?
Seriously, am I the only one who thought this guy reminded me of David Putty (one of Elaine's ex's) from Seinfield? All we were missing was for him to end that act with an old "gotta support the team" reference. Still funny.
Ever since I long-snapped in HS, I've always wondered why NFL punters are holders. If they were needed to throw a pass or a block they seem like the worst candidate on the field. We usually had a receiver hold, just in case.
This guy is only redeemed by the fact that he's wearing the shirt of the soon-to-be National Champion Florida Gators.
Well seeing that he is also wearing a Florida Gators shirt, he could very well take his own life by midnight.
Even if he's not fucking Carrie Underwood, he's fucking something young and comely.
Only 1 more hour for SHOTY voting, with Barbaro holding a small lead. Stuff those ballot boxes, people.
[/threadjack]
Redeemed by that? You're not embarassed MORE by that?
So does this mean he'll be filming Gator bloopers for tomorrow's posts?
InReggiesBush - you're friend made a good point, but here's a better point. He's a Grammatica.
I bet Vanderjagt was sitting at home with no pants on getting drunk and screaming to everyone that he would have made the block.
I'm with Homer on this one. Carrie Underwood versus playing against the Bears D. I'm taking CU.
Grammatica actually looks smaller than when I remember him kicking at K-State.
The defender would have taken his head off if he tried to block.
Blame Romo all you want, but this falls squarely on Parcells. If Dallas has anyone but the dwarfish Grammatica as a kicker, a better block gets thrown on whoever it was that Grammatica tried to block (same guy that made the tackle) and Tony Romo makes it to the end zone, adding to the inevitable legend that will be Tony Romo.
So Parcells, you cut Vanderjagt, this is your fault.
Oops... Sorry I forgot it's a good idea to read a post or two before saying something that's been, you know, covered.
I'm not positive, but wasn't the guy who made the tackle a db? Now I understand that Grammatica is a small, even for a kicker, but we aren't talking about throwing a block on the Fridge
Wow, there is some real homer-delusion on this post today. It is the kicker's fault for not throwing a better block whilst in the motion of kicking on a perfect long-snap?
Right.
They say Gramatica weighs 175, it wouldn't surprise me if he's under 160.
You're really blaming this on a kicker? Romo threw for a whole 189 yards. Dallas only had one offensive touchdown. Against a sceondary missing about 4 people.
Umm... or Dallas isn't all that good.
Run, you stupid fucking overrated quarterback, run!
How about blaming Glenn for that awesome fumble that set everything up... and Dallas probably would've benefitted more from a TD than a safety.
how did parcells think cutting a career 90% kicker, for a less than 80% kicker was a good idea?
vanderjagt will be laughing even harder next week when vinateri misses a game tying field goal at the end of the game
Saturday night, I went out with my girlfriend and some of the people she works with.
We were at the Common Ground in Allston, and watching the Dallas game. Turns out, a kid she works with grew up in Dallas and is a huge Cowboys fan.
No shit, he was bawling when Romo blew the snap to end the game. It was pretty much the best thing I have ever seen.
Because as soon as the game ended, the DJ started to play music for 80s Night. So this kid is sitting there, all pissed and crying, while the DJ is blaring "Rock Me Amadeus." I wish I had a video camera.
Why not blame TO? Seems like a popular thing to do.

On a side note to this thread...I was at the game (season tickets, north endzone where Romo botched the hold) and sitting behind me was a huge redneck wearing a mint condition Brian Bosworth jersey. When Dallas lined up for the field goal the guy said, "if the Seahawks pull this one off, I'm going streaking." He then tapped on my shoulder and said, "you in the green hat, you're coming with me." The moment the game was over, he started to take off his jersey and I ran away from him as fast as possible.
Guess that's why you never hear of the film school at UF. But on the bright side, looks like some lucky Gator got his honors project done early.
A satire of contemporary mores
A spoof aimed more at the heart than the head.
crying cause the cowboys lost? there's no crying in football.
i will admit, i cried when Aryton Senna died. He was the shit.
If Romo didn't drop the snap, Grammatica doesn't miss the block.
Wrap your mind around that one.
At least the Brian Bozworth supporter had the sense to take his Old School reference to the "bring your green hat" levels.
Art Hartman was unavailable for comment.
Kudos to anyone who gets THAT reference.
The loss is without question on Romo but football is about reducing negative plays. Gramatica could have turned the play into a positive and all 11 guys should play to the whistle - hence the Gramatica discussion. Hell even if Gramatica would have tackled the guy - they would have had a chance at rekicking (from 15 yards further out). Posts like these make me realize I should be wearing bike shorts and a backwards hat instead of a suit and tie - damn $13k starting salary (in coaching)!
Reducing negative plays = TO not dropping passes. Glenn not fumbling. Defense not giving up big plays to guys named Jerramy Stevens.
Nope. Still not putting any of this on Marvin the Martian.
