Tony Romo will be active but he will not start today at St. Louis, according to Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones. Romo, whose consecutive-starts streak will end at 32, has a fractured right pinkie and only saw limited work in Thursday's practice. Brad Johnson will replace Romo. It will be his first start since 2006 in Minnesota. It will also mark the first time since Thanksgiving 2004 the Cowboys will use their backup quarterback because of an injury. What is not clear is whether Romo will be the backup or the third quarterback behind Brooks Bollinger.

How about picking some stories from a team OTHER than the Cowboys FN?

Or how about from a different news source?

Now someone has to tell the coach before the game what was decided.

And he shouldn't start. Good move by the coaching staff. A displaced bone takes a lot less longer to heal than a splintered one.

Perhaps Romo will lose his job??? Would always be concerned especially if the under performing Boys get on a roll.

But I have been a Cowboy fan for 26 years, so i have seen worst teams than this one was today. It will come together eventually I hope

Once Phillips is gone. He's oblivious and won't make changes until it's far too late. You're right though. No one could do a worse job of coaching than Campo. No wonder the secondary is doing so well this year.

You see him on the sidelines during a game and it makes you want to slap him get him riled up, something for christ sakes.

I'm here if anyone wants to make fun of Cowboy fans. Seems about right considering I was saying it was just a phase and they would come out of it. They still may... but... well... but nothing.
