Greatness in our midst

Do you realize we have one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time among us? Last season, Tony Romo attempted his 1,500th pass. That qualifies him to be on the list of the most efficient passers in the history of the game. And he came in at third; ahead of names like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Kurt Warner and Drew Brees.

We sure do like to bitch about it when Romo throws an interception or fumbles at a critical moment in a game. And yes, he has a resounding one playoff victory on his resume. But sometimes you need to step back and appreciate talent when you're lucky enough to have it. Count me among those who'll be yelling the loudest if Romo screws the pooch in an important game this season. But at the same time, I'll try and remember that, even when he makes a mistake, Romo is still one of the very best in the game.
