We take a look back at the career of the young man from Eastern Illinois (photo:chicagonow.com)

When Tony Romo took over for Drew Bledsoe at half-time in October 2006, his first pass was intercepted. We in Cowboys Nation didn’t care, we were tired of Bledsoe. If you watched the game, the game was winnable until Tony’s third interception of the half. Again, and I think I speak for most Cowboys fans, we didn’t care. Tony Romo was new. We were asking for a changing of the guard and we got it.

It’s was OK that he was raw. He was also mobile, fun, and a gun slinger. Always had a smile on his face, our own Brett Favre. For older fans, he reminded us of Roger the Dodger, Roger Staubach. And Romo played well, the game wasn’t too big for the kid. We had found a worthy heir to the Dallas Cowboys QB Thrown. Staubach and Troy Aikman approved, so the bandwagon was quickly assembled and we all jumped on it. The media broke out the anointing oil despite coach Bill Parcells warning them to put it away.

The Cowboys made the playoffs that year, lead by our undrafted free agent out of AA Eastern Illinois. This was a Cinderella story in the making.

Then the fumbled snap… No Cinderella story. (more…)

The above video is part of an ad campaign by Snickers that claims we should forgive Leon Lett for his 1993 Thanksgiving Day blunder due to hungry. The faux documentary, which you can watch in it’s entirety at nfl.com/snickers, claims Lett was encouraged to “play hungry” prior to the big game. Leon apparently took this advice literally.

If 25,000 people can forgive Lett for his mistake, Snickers will honor him during this year’s Thanksgiving rematch between the Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins on November 24th. Although it brings back some bad memories, it’s really funny and worth the watch.  Even if it’s just to see some old familiar faces again.
