ESPN.com: Skip Bayless giving up on Romo

[Hitman21ST]

As I type this sentence, I'm nearly ready to concede there's just … something … missing … in … Tony Romo.

Coaches who knew Romo's coach at the time, Bill Parcells, told me Parcells loved the kid's potential and believed Romo was coachable enough to be "reined in." But I was even less convinced the night of Jan. 6, 2007 -- a night that will live in Cowboys playoff infamy. In Seattle, all they needed was a 19-yard field goal -- a virtual extra point -- to take a 23-21 lead with just more than a minute left. And Romo butterfingered the snap! But wait, he scooped it up, took off for the flank … all he needed was 1 yard for a first down, 2 for a touchdown … and … it … was … as … if … he … was … running … in … slow … motion. Romo got tackled from behind for no gain!

Tony Romo had played well enough to win. And Tony Romo had lost the game.

...

OK, that's it. I give up. He has torn me apart long enough.

Tony Romo will never, ever win a Super Bowl for the Dallas Cowboys. So much will go right. But in the end, something always will go wrong.

When Skip Bayless finally throws the towel in on him, you know something is wrong.

Same dude that called Aikman g*y? I respect his opinion, LOL.

Besides, don't most people on here always bash Skip?

[Dirt]

lol. Skip thinks he's so important that everyone cares what he thinks about Tony Romo. Another example of why he ought to just be a Dallas beat reporter and not the voice of the daytime espn talk show. His bias is irritating, and everyone else that moves on to national TV knows how to curb it.

He says a lot of dumb stuff, too. "No, Tony, don't go to Dez!"....okay, so just don't throw to Dez, ever, because he might screw up his route? hah.

Whatever, the more Cowboys failures, the better.

I have no idea why anyone cares about anything Bayless says. He is the Howard Stern of sports journalism - but without the self awareness and element of humour.

"Tony Romo will never,ever lead the Dallas Cowboys to an NFC Championship game, much less a Super Bowl"

I was about to post the same thing. I watched 5 minutes of 1st Take yesterday w Bayless and Stephen Smith and wanted to choke them both. ESPN makes billions showcasing jackasses spewing nonsense 24/7, its ridiculous.

I could quote every post so far & give you all a . **** the Plowboys.

[Boss_Hogg]

I thought Romo and Bayless were broskies.

Smells like a hook to get more readers/viewers.

**** Skip Bayless.

In 2012 this moron finally figures out what we were all saying way back in 2007-2008. And he's the one likely getting paid 7 figures to spew his moronic BS?

[HailToTheRedskins14]

I usually watch First Take once, maybe twice a week. It really, really is amazing. I watched it last week because they had Calipari and Coach K on, and I kept watching. They just skim over the most basic "sports talk". Here's what they talk about when they talked about the Redskins/Giants matchup. 1) RG3 runs and might need to get down so he doesn't take a hit and 2) The Giants have a good pass rush and QB. That's it. They spent about 10-15 minutes regurgitating this crap over and over and over. I didn't hear any other player's name for the Redskins. Not one. And they NEVER talk about matchups or anything in depth. They just skim over the basics.

And a week or two ago I saw Skip Bayless getting some award for best sportswriter of the year. These guys are okay in doses for the drama and arguing and crap, but you look at guys like Om and LavarLeap and others that we have here, and they're much, much better. It is kinda sad, ESPN could be awesome with all the money they have. But they realized some time ago that people just wanna hear people yelling. NFL Network blows 'em out of the water, but I only get to see it NFLN when I'm at my girlfriend's.

Anyway, sorry. /rant that had really nothing to do with the topic.

On topic, when will Bayless give up on Tebow? TEEEEEEBOOOOOWWWWWW

and the same dude who called him "Tony Romeo" and said he would never win the big game just a few years ago.

Skip is good for ratings. Terrible "analyst", along with that pig Stephen Smith.

I have no idea what Skip is talking about. Tony's doing a great job.
