ROMO gets his $$$

[MahiMike]

Yikes!

The Cowboys and quarterback Tony Romo have a deal, and it’s reportedly a deal that will guarantee Romo even more money than Joe Flacco just received in his blockbuster contract with the Ravens.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Cowboys and Romo reached an agreement on a six-year extension that contains even more guaranteed money than the six-year, $120.6 million contract that Joe Flacco got from the Ravens.

As is always the case, the contract details will come out in time. But the initial indication is that Jerry Jones backed up the Brink’s truck to pay Romo. Schefter says the total value of the deal is a six-year contract worth $108 million.

The Cowboys have been trying for weeks to get a new deal done with Romo, who would have counted $16.8 million against this year’s salary cap if he didn’t have a new contract. The new deal will reduce Romo’s cap number for 2013.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has long said he believes Romo can lead his team to a Super Bowl, and that he wants Romo to remain a Cowboy for the rest of his career. It appears that will happen: Romo and the Cowboys are tied together for years to come.

Most of your posts are filed under the "tl;dr" tab in my mind. I would never consider writing a ****ing dissertation on Tony Romo's contract. Most of my productive brainpower goes into my education, and what's seen here is mindless drivel I am not afforded as a grad student.

Sounds like you could use a little more brainpower, then. I have plenty of schoolin' and plenty of work responsibilities and yet somehow find a way to be able to speak intelligently to most things that occupy my time.

It's really not much harder than posting an emoticon and spewing inanities if you're up for it. I'm sorry to hear that you aren't.

Championing Huard in anyway is funny.

Your Priest Holmes fiasco was hilarious, too.

where I guaranteed he wouldn't get 20 carries because he was only there for a paycheck? Yeah. I was dead wrong. I think he got 33 before he retired for good.

God damn I crushed that argument. Shit, I even ran THE MAQ off the board because I guaranteed him Huard would start the next year over Croyle. Croyle.

Croyle the guy who never won an NFL game and never caught on with another NFL team after KC.

I mean, JFC...if you guys want to try and "pwn me", at least "pwn me" on things I was wrong about.

One time on this board I said I thought the Cubs were the perfect team...and they got swept. I made fun of the Cardinals terrible farm system (it turned out to be fantastic). I said Tyrus Thomas was the next Kevin Garnett. I wanted the Bulls to resign Eddy Curry.

I wanted the Chiefs to trade their 1st round pick for Brady Quinn.

It's not that hard. Just search.

Don't forget when you said that the Bulls should never trade Luol Deng for Kobe Bryant.

C'mon guys - he's right. Hootie says a LOT of stupid shit.

I'd have to see that post. Deng for Kobe straight up? It was probably Deng + Noah in which case I never would have wanted to do in a million years. Just like I didn't want Garnett for Noah, either.

[houstonwhodat]

This contract is not about Romo.

It's about Jerry Jones.

He's just trying to make news and he did.

Aaron Rodgers' new deal is going to blow em all out of the water, even Brees.

My recollection was Deng and Tyrus Thomas.

In either event, you were pretty sure the Lakers were going to trade him for a plugged nickle and were willing to give up something like Thomas and Heinrich for him before the Lakers "Had to let him walk".

People were all pretty stupid about that deal.

lol yeah

that was probably right around the time I thought Thomas was the next Garnett.

I had a big time mancrush on Tyrus Thomas.

and I hate Kobe, always have; always will. Probably didn't help the matter. I could never cheer for Kobe wearing the same uniform Michael wore. **** that. Stay in LA. I still think he's terribly overrated anyways. Top 15 all time? Yep. Top 10? Not sure, I wouldn't put him there.

In the same breath as LeBron James? No ****ing way. LeBron from 2011 on is playing at a level I don't even know if Michael ever got to...I mean, he'll never be captain omg clutch like Michael...but in terms of basketball ability? JFC.

James will always irritate me for having to be shamed into greatness.

He was a slackass that got by on obscene amounts of talent until he got embarrassed by "the decision" and losing in the finals. Had he stayed in Cleveland, he'd still be rolling with his posse and hitting air-jumpers in Vegas.

With no rings.

It isn't just his cast that got better; had those guys joined him in Cleveland, I don't think they'd have won. No, James got tired of being the butt of jokes so he finally dedicated himself to his game instead of his brand. That kind of motivation pisses me off.

I don't see how Jordan fans can dislike Kobe - Kobe's the only competitor that's come close to Jordan in terms of sheer ferocity and desire. That guy carries himself so much like Jordan that it's not even funny. Jordan fans call him a poser, but I don't get it. Jordan was a pathologically competitive sociopath and Kobe's cut from a very similar cloth.

If you loved Jordan's fire and intensity, you should absolutely love Kobe's as well. Anyone that thinks it's all an act must think that the guy is the greatest actor of all time. You can't keep up that kind of intensity for 15 years if it's not real.

Kobe's an assassin, just as Jordan was before him. LeBron's just an otherwordly talented man-child that had to be shamed into working on his game.

[Hootie]

When has Kobe ever been a closer? Isn't that the definition of an assassin? What has he ever closed? Name a defining Kobe Finals moment. Name 3. I can name 3 from just about every Finals Michael was in.

I think Kobe may have been the most valuable player on his team 1 team (and that's being generous) on his 5 championships. (In the postseason, not over the entire course of the season)

Game 4 against the Pacers in his first NBA finals is the easiest example.

Jalen Rose slid his leg in under Kobe during a jumper in Game 2 and sprained his ankle (because Jalen Rose is a punk). Kobe missed game 3 and the Pacers won to draw it to a 2-1 series.

Game 4 was pivotal as hell and ended up in overtime where Shaq fouled out. Kobe completely owned that overtime period, made 3 huge baskets and stole the win on the road to make it a 3-1 series. Had they lost that, the Pacers would've won 2 in a row to tie the series at 2-2 and the Pacers throttled the Lakers in game 5 which would've given them a 3 game winning streak and all the momentum in the world.

Without that win, without that performance from Kobe, the Lakers very likely don't win the 2000 NBA Championship and suddenly that era could've gone very very differently.

Oh there are other examples as well, but that's the most glaring.

People that don't want to like Kobe don't ever remember stuff like that, but there's a ton of it. It doesn't bother me - it is what it is. The Jordan fans think they have to belittle Kobe to make sure that there remains separation between them. I don't get it; there's going to be separation between the two even if you give Bryant every drop of credit he's earned.

It just is what it is.
