Win or go home!

O.k. friends, if you are not a football
fan, you might want to sit this one out. Even more so, if you are driven by
political correctness and nicety, Please stop reading this particular post
because this post specifically deals with a great passion and love of my life;
NFL football. Even further, this blog post deals with the Dallas Cowboys; the
football team I have followed with intense passion my entire life.
You see, since the days
of my youth I have loved “America’s Team,” the Dallas Cowboys. I have followed
them through thick and thin and now as we are on the very verge of greatness, I
am taking this time to call QB Tony Romo out.
Mr. Romo, you performed
well under pressure against the Lions yesterday. It was a good start towards
your redemption. It was a good start, but you are not even close to football
redemption. You must win in Green Bay next week and then win the game after
that. If you do that, you will finally reach the Super Bowl that has eluded you
your entire career.
The time has come my
friend, to step into greatness and achieve your destiny. The time has come now
for you to shut up all the Dallas Cowboy haters in this world. The time has
come for you to rise and be counted for.
Tony Romo, this entire
season, this entire playoff run rests on your shoulders and it is time for you
to finally prove your worth. The time has come and next weekend against Green
Bay, will be your high noon. There will be no place on earth for you to hide.
You must win. You must rise up, take this team and the entire Cowboy nation on
your shoulders and play the best game of your freaking life. Go out now and earn your 100 million dollar contract!
Year after year after
year you have not gotten it done. Frankly you have dropped the ball in the
playoffs literally and figuratively. Almost every season in your entire career,
you have folded and choked when your moment of truth has come. Well, Mr. Tony
Romo, the time has come. The day has arrived. Your moment is now. Not next year.
You must win now.
I am very bitter against
you for choking when it matters the most, but all will be forgiven if you beat
Green Bay on Sunday and then take this team to Superbowl glory.
Tony, for the last
several years I have sat alone in Dallas in front of the television set, screaming at you
and that TV, angry that you guys could not get it done against Philadelphia,
New York and Washington. I have sat alone, wanting to believe that, “next year
will be better.”
Well, Mr. Romo, you must
dig deep and realize that you are not getting younger and your back is not
getting any better. You must believe that the game against Green Bay is your
last chance at sports redemption, and as Al Davis always said, “just win baby.”
Tony Romo, this is your
last stand. Win or go home. If you lose you may never get a chance at
redemption again. Win and you may sit in the hallowed halls of Dallas Cowboy immortality.
It is time for you to
take your seat in sports valhalla with Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman.
I believe in you Tony.
The entire Dallas Cowboy empire believes in you. For once in your life, dig
deep and put your big boy pants on and will this team to victory.
There are no tomorrows,
there are no second chances, this is your last stand Mr. Romo. Win or go home.
