Last year, when Tony Romo took over for Drew Bledsoe against the Giants on MNF, ESPN went into a Tony Romo lovefest. Every week, NFL Live would anoint Tony Romo a football GOD.Giants, Eagles and ‘Skins fans groaned because they had seen him play in person and he really wasn’t all the hype he was made up to be. I have seen Tony Romo play in person and I don’t think he deserves all the accolades he has received from ESPN talking heads.
My father and I were joking around in the Giants Stadium parking lot and I called the above QB, “Hall of Fame Quarterback Tony Romo”
Tony Romo is a good QB in the National Football League. Is he Peyton Manning? No. Is he Tom Brady? No. Did he deserve to go to the pro bowl? No. He concluded the 2006 regular season with 220 completions on 337 pass attempts for 2,903 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions, with a passer rating of 95.1
There is no doubt that he is a good Quarterback. Giants fans know there is a big question mark when it comes to Eli Manning and this season is the make or break for Giants fans.
Get ready for the ESPN/HoFQB Tony Romo lovefest to heat up as the Giants travel to Dallas to open the season on Sunday Night Football.
And by the way, Romo is a third-generation Mexican American on his father's side. His grandfather, Ramiro Romo Sr., emigrated from Múzquiz, Coahuila, Mexico to San Antonio, Texas as an adolescent.
