Where's Romo?
Among the eight Dallas Cowboys who'll play in Sunday's Pro Bowl, only one was missing from Wednesday's practice and his name was Tony Romo. Travel arrangements caused the Cowboys quarterback to miss practice yesterday. No need to fear... Tony Romo made it to Fort Lauderdale in time for Thursday morning's practice, which only lasted about an hour. This is Tony's third pro bowl appearance. His previous two came in Hawii, after the season was over. So how does tony feel about playing The Pro Bowl, in Miami, while the season is still going?
Tony says, "This is my first day here. So far I mean... the fan support and things of that nature have made the game pretty fun. I do think there's something to be said for playing the game during the football season. I think more people are interested that way. I don't know. So far, so good."
This is the first time since 1980 that The Pro Bowl hasn't been played at Aloha Stadium.

Enjoying The Game
In some ways, Romo is like a magician. During the 2nd quarter of Sunday's 37 to 21 victory over The Falcons, Tony made memories of lackluster performances from earlier in the season... Disappear, by escaping from several tacklers, only to find Patrick Crayton in the back of the end zone for a touchdowns. And at the same time made "The Tony Romo" fans fell in love with reappear.
"I think that run that he had, he kind of got knocked out a little bit," Receiver Roy Williams said. "I think that knocked a little fun into him."
"Certain times in certain games, you might take a chance," said Tony Romo. "Other times you may not. Hopefully there's a lot more good than bad and I think we've had a little bit more of that recently."
Judging by how animated Tony was on the sidelines, it became obvious that he was having fun again. The fact that over the past two games Tony has thrown over 300 yards, has a total of five touchdowns, no interceptions and The Cowboys are now looking for their third win in a row, makes the job more enjoyable.
"You kind of let the up's and down's of whether you're winning or losing closing that side of it sometimes. You know, I'm learning how to enjoy the game and play it. Obviously, it's a little more enjoyable when you're having success and you're winning."
Romo and The Cowboys will host The Seahawks, this Sunday at noon. Last year when the two teams met, Tony was really enjoying himself. He threw for 331 yards and three touchdowns in a 34 to 9 Cowboys victory.
