Hey there Tony Romo what’s it like in Dallas, Texas
I’m a thousand miles away
But tonight you look so witty, yes you do
Cowboys Stadium’s lights can’t shine as bright as you, I swear it’s true
Why do I reference a song by a group called Plain White T’s and the best quarterback on the face of the planet in the same stanza? Well let me finish.
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me
I’ve never loved anyone as polarizing as Antonio Ramiro Romo. It’s an enjoyable roller coaster ride, but occasionally we get jerked around so much that I get nauseous.
Even after losing my lunch, I keep getting back in the long line that takes forever just to make substantial progress towards the destination. Pray tell us, why submit to never-ending torment?
Quite simply he is the best quarterback to wear the star on his helmet since a three-time super bowl winner had the reigns.
Good news: it appears he is playing on a team with a defense capable of creating turnovers!
Line: Cowboys at Chiefs (-3)
I like the Cowboys to give the points. My personal bias accounts for exactly three points, so thanks to my undying love of the most unproven superstar quarterback ever, I am certain of at least a push.
I was in Peru last time they played, so unfortunately I have no luck when trying to conjure up happy thoughts in Arrowhead. Yes I remember Todd Haley was coaching the Chiefs, and Miles blew up. It might’ve single-handedly earned him $57 million.
Even by dismissing my bias, I like the Boys in this one. Silly to say right? Well, the Chiefs were 2-14 last year. I like Andy Reid, and his new team already looks poised to win at least five more games than they did last year, but all we have to go on is a 28-2 win against Alabama’s arch rival, the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Again the prospects of playing in Arrowhead horrify me, but I just think the Cowboys are at least a 7-10 point better team than the Chiefs at this point. They are more talented, and their vaunted pass rush might get Anthony “namesake” Spencer back.
Prediction: Cowboys 24, Chiefs 17
The Cowboys did remind the world last week that despite how many turnovers they accumulate, their defense is never actually putting you away until you throw an elevated pass that bounces off your receiver’s hands and is returned for a touchdown.
Alex Smith will find holes between Barry “if you a scared mofo go to” Church and Will.I.Am.just.slightly.better.than.Sensabaugh.Allen. So let’s just hope Dwayne Bowe only catches one or two deeps balls.
Regardless, The “I swear Monte Kiffin is in charge (let’s be serious - Rod is the mastermind)” defense will pick off Smith at least once, and rush him often.
Tony will throw for 200+, even if he has to do it with Bill Callahan trying to turn him into Rich
Gannon, and Dez will haul in his first TD of the season. You know J Wit is getting another, and Demarco should be able to find holes behind T Fed and co.
OK, so my bias isn’t being put aside at all, but I’m confident. Wow, I just sounded a lot like JJ.
Speaking of Jay-ree Joanz, how about his history with wide receivers? Dez is really the only player drafter at the position in the past decade to ever become anything. Getting Miles was like catching lightning in a bottle twice when you consider he and America’s quarterback were discovered around the same time (albeit this was during the Parcells era, which I would rank only below Landry’s and Jimmy’s).
Jerry traded a first and a third for the right to own a receiver who is only remembered for flashing hook’em horns after the seldom occurrence that he would score a touchdown. He gave up two firsts for a burner that everyone swore was still coming into his prime even though his style of play always destined him to an injury prone career.
Hey let’s not forget about Raghib Ismail, who Jerry gave $21 million to in a move that proved his inability to separate his pre-draft ratings and reality when evaluating personnel (really could be better summed up as personal bias - see Quincy Carter, Marion Barber, etc).
That’s right Jerry, I detest almost every decision you make. But to finish on a more positive note…
You’ll know it’s all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Antonio here’s to you
This one’s for you
