Romo's Lone Defender
With all the media, current players and past players trashing Romo whenever they get near a mic, I was surprised to hear an ex-Giant QB defend him.
While listening to XM ch 86 I caught some of the Mad Dog show while he was interviewing Phil Simms.
Mr. Simms was adamant in his defense of Romo as if he was defending his own son. He chastised the ESPN talking head (he couldn't remember his name) for saying the regular season means nothing Romo will only be judged on the playoffs.
He brought up the Seattle game and stated he drove the team for the winning score but failed as a "holder"
He mentioned the Giants game and challenged MadDog to remember the real reason Dallas lost that game (The Crayton 3rd down possibly scoring drop) Then reminded the host that the INT he threw at the end was a 4th down, last play desperation throw.
Phil then went on to question why doesn't Vick, M.Ryan and other QB's who have failed with worse INTs to cost their team games are never scrutinized like Rom0
The interview ended with Phil saying something like if I'm the GM or coach and you tell me I have Romo as my QB......I know I'm going to win a Super Bowl. :wha?
On a side note: It was obvious that Mad Dog expected something negative from Simms and he tried to keep bringing up the negative but Simms stood his ground better our own Playmaker could on his best day....Phil Simms was in Romo Hater attack mode.
