Dear Mr. Romo

You are the starting quarterback of a professional football team. Not just any professional football team. The Dallas Cowboys. Do you know what this means?


It means you will be held to a higher standard. You will be expected to be perfect. You will not be allowed to have a bad day.


Throughout your journey with the Cowboys, you will be deified and you will be vilified. You will be glorified, and you will be crucified. You will be put on a pedestal, and you will be burned at the stake. It will be an emotional roller coaster ride the like which you have never seen. You will go from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows in an instant. I believe you know this already.

What concerns me, dear Mr Romo, is the choice of your current paramour. Sure, she makes a lovely arm ornament, but will she stand by you through all of this? Will she support you, or will she be more concerned with maintaining her own image? She may be there for the 13-3 seasons, but will she still be around for the 3-13 seasons? Will she still love you when you lose?

Does she have the strength, the substance, the depth of character to be what you will need her to be throughout your career?

I've heard it said that a man can do anything as long as he has someone who believes in him.

Does she believe in you?


Does she really?

I wonder if he really even cares. It seems like all he wants to do is have a little fun with her. So hopefully this "fling" won't last.

One can only hope.

Still, I can't imagine anyone as intelligent and well read as Tony wanting a long term relationship with someone who is dumb as a post and hates what he does for a living.

Pull the door, Jessica.
