A guy posted this over at StillerNation. I thought you'd like it, Bill.

Turned on the TV the other day, and there was Tony Romo, playing golf.
On another station, there was Romo, warbling Take Me Out to the Ballgame at Wrigley Field.
Another station, more Romo, this time walking out of a restaurant with his girlfriend, Jessica Simpson.
And on yet another channel, there was the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, this time being interviewed about all the things he does when he’s not playing football.
It’s a good thing, Romo said, that he’s always "made a lot of good choices."
Oh, really? The public jury, let me suggest, is still out on that.
Look, I like the guy. Romo’s friendliness has been disarming.
And though his happy-feet style is not my favorite kind of NFL quarterbacking, I get it, I get it. And sometimes it even works. When he quarterbacks the Cowboys, something always seems to happen.
Especially in the playoffs.
Ah, the playoffs. Superman had his kryptonite. Tony Romo has the playoffs.
Did you know that during the three years that he started for Eastern Illinois, his team made it to the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs three times?
It did, and on each of the three occasions, Eastern Illinois lost ... in the first round.
Add the two first-round playoff defeats that he’s had as Cowboys quarterback, and we sense either a horrible trend or some cosmic coincidence.
The man has never won a playoff game in his life.
Am I the only one that seems concerned about that?

That is great.
I have nothing against Romo and actually he does seem like a good guy but I hate the team he plays for so much.
Glad to see the pukes have him as their QB and I hope the no playoff wins continues throughout his career with the cowpukes.
