Oh Snap!


My favorite fantasy QB Tony Romo re-upped with the Dallas Cowboys - America's team - for six years, and $67.5 million, and $31 million in guaranteed money.

One year after replacing Drew Bledsoe, less than a year since his "snap, cackle, drop" that knocked the Cowboys out of the playoffs - and prompted this action figure of Romo after he was tackled while he scrambled to recover the botched snap:


and now he's the golden boy. (If I weren't so nice, I might have put that picture at the top of this post.). It's amazing how a little success makes everyone forget the bad times. I just hope he earns his keep.

Well, he has already taken a page from the Tom Brady school of dating celebutantes ( . . . and Brady took it a step further), so he should be on his way to several Super Bowls like Brady, too. (Or did the ladies start showing up after the Super Bowls. . .?)

For all my annoyance with him for ruining my first fantasy matchup, he does seem to have all the trappings of being a good guy (in public anyway) after that crying and apologizing to his teammates right after "Snap-gate" and asking to be the holder at the Pro Bowl shortly thereafter. And he seems quite humbled by the contract he received.

Congrats, Romo. No pressure or anything.
