Almost too much to believe, as the last person I know with a punctured lung spent 3 days in a hospital. Of course, that was a 45 year old smoker and mother of 3.

I watched the game and he did what he had to do for his team to win even though you could tell he was all fucked up. At the end when he made that big pass in OT he couldn't even lift his arm to celebrate. Might hate the cowshits but I can't hate romo for being such a tough mfer.

He may well have just turned around his entire career, and that team, in that one performance.

Can he play with a punctured lung AND a cracked rib? He's a tough SOB I'll say that for him.

Pretty amazing, and here's another story saying he had a punctured lung: http://www.foxsportssouthwest.com/09/19/11/Report-Romo-suffered-punctured-lung-rib-/landing_cowboys.html?blockID=565821&feedID=3742
Tough guy, knew what was at stake for his team, and probably had enough adrenaline flowing through his blood to jumpstart a truck. I'm with mad--I can't stand the Cowboys but I have a lot of respect for Romo. He's put up with one heck of a lot of media nonsense over the years.

Hospital stay. I think there is more to this story than is currently being reported. You don't re-inflate a lung and then put an bike inner-tube patch on it.

You get your doctor and I'll get mine. Mine will say: Inner tube patch.

All I can say is that Nick Collins better play next week if he doesn't want to look like a pussy.

Or maybe you can:

Cowboys confirm a pneumothroax. Apparently there are different degrees of a pneumothorax and Romo had Degree "Go Back Into Football Game".

I can tell you this, a pneumothorax is better than a hostile lorax.

Isn't that someone who sits in a tower and throws seeds out of the window?

Also a correction: Romo suffered a pneumothorax of Degree Go Back Into Football Game'th.

This is what I was thinking. I think everyone forgot because of who he plays for.
