Troy wears his 3 to his broadcasts, bet he rotates them too. Aikman has huge hands though so they probably fit him pretty good.

they are ceremonial after all although i'd like to see someone wear theirs everyday

won't even have to take it off when they try to pick up women

Tony Romo no. 34 on Top 100

Can't believe they have 7 QB's ahead of him. He was a top 5 QB last year.

Romo hatred runs deep, even amongst Cowboys fans. I will say if we lose Dez as well as Murray, all the pressure will be on Romo for us to succeed in 2015. Even with an improved defense and what I consider an under-rated backfield.

I put on their very first ring..i thought that thing was big..this last one

[Batman1980]

I still can't believe I live in a time where the Patriots are 4 time Super Bowl champions and it was some back-up from the 6th round that was the QB for all of them.

Always like to go to barnes & noble (those cinnamon buns are really good) to check the nfl preview mags that are out already.
Saw lindys, athlon, profootballweekly, usatoday & something else.

afc
east - pats unanimous
north - ravens, some steelers
south - colts unanimous
west - broncs, some chargers

1 colts
2 broncs slight over pats

nfc
east - eagles, some cowboys
north - pack unanimous
south - anyone except bucs
west - seahawks unanimous

1 pack
2 seahawks

super bowl 50
pack over colts

All the yrs ive done this i cant remember when basically only 5 teams stood out over all the rest.
Also its almost like they picked the colts cause they didnt know who else to pick in the afc cause then they all really picked the nfc to beat the afc in the super bowl.

We know how Lynch spent his day yesterday

I think, on paper, the conference title games should be the same this year as they were last season. Locations could be different though.

Packers over Colts is a solid pick. I'm waiting to make my pick until September, but it will likely be Seahawks over Colts or Packers over Colts.

Hate the damn Colts, but the AFC is so weak now, and the Pats took a significant step back while the Colts took a huge step forward. I like Dorsett, but I thought that was a dumb pick for a team trying to win it all THIS season.

Once they give Luck his money, that'll set them back a bit... and I'll love it.

The same guy who was behind Michael Bishop on the depth chart no less. Never heard of him? He was the guy with a cannon arm but incapable of playing the position consistently up here in the CFL.

Yup I think if you swapped Romo and Aikman, Romo would have been the better QB with more rings.

Statistically Romo is by far the best QB the Cowboys have ever had. Much better than Aikman and Staubach.

A big part of me still wishes Romo had left the Cowboys just to see how the Cowboys' fans would react to a 2-14 year.

I actually think Romo carries us early during what should be the gauntlet of our schedule and once teams start dropping the safeties back, Randle should go off. He should be good for about 1100-1200 yards this year if he can stay out of trouble and healthy.

Tom Brady appeal hearing was yesterday. We should know what was said pretty soon since there are so many leaks in the league office.

Nothing new:

A league source tells Profootballtalk.com that Tom Brady "simply reiterated his denial" regarding involvement in or knowledge of deflating footballs during Tuesday's appeal with commissioner Roger Goodell, and "the answers were regarded by some in the room as not entirely credible."

[TitansFan4Life]

At best he can hope for a 2 game reduction. The suspension isn't going away altogether no matter what.

Doubt anything changes. 4 games will likely hold up.

Should've never been suspended in the first place IMO. Language in the Wells report said "more likely than not" Brady was aware... That's not exactly proof. There's reasonable doubt. In court, he'd be found not guilty.
