For a guy that can't hit 90 on the radar gun, he sure did make several players…

I'm off of work today, so I'll see what you think about some opinions I have about some sports news I've come across recently.-Tony Romo is now a Pro Bowl quarterback. I'm torn on this one.

I still think he might drop off in the playoffs, or next year. I hope I'm wrong. I hope he goes on to be Tom Brady or even Jake Delhomme would be fine. I just get nervous when people build a guy up, only to bash him on his…
