Mr. September
Posted on 19. Sep, 2009 by Jesse in Articles
Every year Tony Romo starts out looking really enticing for fantasy owners and Cowboys fans alike. He’s the picture perfect playboy, and QB of America’s team. He loves the limelight, and dates starlets as the envy of adolescent men everywhere. Then, just as predictably, he falters down the stretch.
We all know Reggie Jackson is Mr. October, but October baseball actually means something. Romo’s problem as Mr. September is that nobody remembers September at all when the Super Bowl kicks off in February. Some around the Cowboys organization swear that things will be different this year. They believe that the team will be more Romo-centric without Terrell Owens in the mix, and that as a result Romo will finally succeed. We’ll see.
Nevertheless, we can’t deny that Romo is awesome in September. He has tossed 22 TD’s in nine career games in the NFL’s opening month, and has an impressive 8-1 record in those game. But still, like any good QB, his season will be deemed a success or a failure based solely upon the outcome of the Cowboys final game.
So for the time being, the skeletons will remain in the closet. It’s September now, and Tony knows how to smile when the cameras are on him early. This weekend’s primetime showdown with the Giants should be no different. Remember, Mr. September torched the G-Men for 345 yards and 4 scores just two years ago in the home opener, which was also broadcast on Sunday night.
I only wonder if this pic was taken of Tony while he and Witten were vacationing two years ago with Jessica in Mexico. If you’ll remember, that was also before a pretty big game against the Giants, and things didn’t go so well.
Of course not, that was January.
