In Other Tony Romo-Related News...

And only cuz it's been a pretty slow news day, we have one more Tony Romo post. For those who don't know, ever since Romo took over the starting job in Dallas, a blog popped up called TonyHomo.com.

The premise of the blog was somebody pretending to be Drew Bledsoe, the man whose job Romo took. It really was one of the funniest things on the internet, and we say was, cuz it's retired.

TonyHomo.com made its last post yesterday since the Cowboys season is now over, but they didn't leave without getting one final dig in at Romo.

As Homo sat by his locker, with this head in his hands shivering from sadness, tears rolling off of his elbows and onto his knees, I almost felt bad enough not to mess with him... But I couldn't resist!

I walked up to him, put my hand on his shoulder and said "Hey Buddy. I know how you're feeling. This is probably the low point in your life. You look around and you're surrounded by a room full of people you've disappointed today. It's tough to look any one of us in the eye and say "Thanks for practicing all year long and preparing, but it doesn't matter because I couldn't hold onto a football." As an athlete there is nothing worse than letting your team down. It's hard, I know. It's really hard. But on the plus side I saved a lot of money on my car insurance by switching to Geiko. Also -- Did you get my letter? Because I think I forgot to STAMP IT!"

He moved his foot as I went to stomp on it, but I think I got him pretty good otherwise.
It turns out that the site was a production by Amir of Straight Cash, Homey! Of course Amir is known to most as one of the guys from College Humor. He's just a really busy man, and we'd like to thank Amir for amusing us the last few months with TonyHomo, it was fun.

Ballhype: hype it up!
