Romo to play Sunday?

[Brando19]

From PFT:

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who suffered a broken pinkie on Sunday and who was supposed to miss four-to-five weeks, has informed coaches that he plans to play on Sunday, according to Matt Mosley of ESPN.com.

Romo didn’t practice on Wednesday, but threw balls on the side. Eyewitnesses told Mosley that Romo threw the ball with “good velocity” and “appeared confident.”

The final decision apparently will be made by someone other than Romo. For his part, however, he’s apparently willing to try to play.

The Cowboys face the Rams on Sunday in St. Louis.

I guess Favre telling Romo to not act like a pussy has payed off...

From PFT:

Though the Ronnie Lott/some guy from some small college we’ve never heard of amputation option isn’t viable for Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and his fractured pinkie, biting the bullet and playing through the injury is.

Jets quarterback Brett Favre reportedly has advised Romo to suck it up and play, and Romo was scheduled to try to throw the ball in practice on Wednesday.

During this week’s Monday Night Countdown on ESPN, Trent Dilfer was explaining that Romo’s throwing motion will make it harder to play with a broken pinkie, and that quarterbacks who use a different motion wouldn’t be as limited. We’d be more specific, but we were partially hypnotized by Dilfer’s gigantic head.

Regardless of whether the quarterback is Romo or Brad Johnson or Brooks Bollinger or Babe Laufenberg, we’re troubled by the addition of Roy Williams to a lengthy cast of skill-position players. Unless the league revises its rules to permit a multiball option, the Cowboys quarterback will have a hard time keeping everyone happy.

Better hope you have a better waiver position than I do

I'm history but I'm just going to be the pest that makes things harder on everybody else.

BTW, I want Slaton Back; Grant has been a bum

Matt Ryan is on a bye week...

Gee, thanks Favre! Make life harder for the Packers why don't you.

I know your comment was tongue-in-cheek, but, I am somewhat ticked that he would call Romo and ignore A-Rod.

Sure, the Packers owe Favre a tonne (apart from the fact that he was compensated excellently) of gratitude. But the Packers made Favre, too. He was a 3rd stringer in Atlanta and a bum until Wolf drafted and Holmgren moulded him.

I respect the hell out of the guy. I loved watching him play live last year. I just wish he'd have the same decency towards A-Rod as he has to a frickin' Cowpuke.

I completely agree with you. Rodgers has said that he and Favre hadn't talked since he retired. They also didn't talk to each other at the ESPYs, even though they were in the same venue.

What could possibly have prevented that?

I think there's some beef between the two.

Oh shit! I didn't know it was definitively true.

Wow, an article saying they dont talk. Man, talk about stirring up drama. That should be National Inquirer news not USA today.

What run over your liver, Mad?

Brett is a prick for not calling an old team mate and calling a cowpuke. Even if the cowpuke involved stems from Cheeseland.

th87 isn't "starting" anything. He (AND I) are merely observers. I don't know why you're going after him over this.

My liver is fine. The lungs might be getting jacked up though.

I recall reading where Romo and Favre would speak a few times during the season. Maybe Favre likes something about him who knows. But to call him on not calling Rodgers about being injured is insane and ridiculous in my mind. Could it be perceived as shit talking? Maybe reminding ARod what the standard in Green Bay at QB is? Maybe he is pressuring ARod to play through an injury when ARod is already feeling a huge monkey on his back about missing a game??? You think about it that way and in this situation Favre cannot call Rodgers.

Youre right I shouldn't be going after TH on this, I should be going after both of you. You are crazy and will take flight without notice but I am extremely surprised TH hasn't seen the big picture on this like he usually does. Either way I just dont see how you both can realistically expect that call to happen. I would bet Rodgers wouldn't want the call anyways.

[Tarlam!]

Well, in my mind, Brett not calling A-Rod and calling Romo is crapola.

In fact, everything Brett didn't do with A-Rod sucks.

He is prepared to mentor a cowpuke, but not a Packer?? Did Majic-Man ignore Favre, too? Is that where he lea´rned how to be a dick?

I respect all of Favre's achievements, but the guy is really pissing me off with his anti-Packers stance of late.
