Brett Favre and Tony Romo now share a bound that goes beyond being consistent subjects of scrutiny. Favre sat down with Deion Sanders on the NFL Network to discuss a number of topics, including some of the league's current quarterbacks. During his discussion, Favre praised Romo, and said that he sees a lot of himself in the Cowboys quarterback. "Romo is probably more like me than any of those guys," he said. "I don't know if that's good, because I think way too much is cast upon him. Good or bad." Romo, like Favre, has taken some heat from fans...

Favre: Romo quarterback most like me

Tony Romo grew up in Burlington, Wisconsin idolizing Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre. So what the legendary gun-slinger told Deion Sanders Tuesday on the NFL Network had to bring a huge smile to Romo's face.

Brett Favre says Tony Romo is the quarterback most similar to him

When we think of Brett Favre, there are generally two schools of thought. On one hand, we remember the guy who was one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history and probably the toughest player to ever play the game. On the other, we think of the guy who didn’t know when to call it quits and who made a mockery of himself over the final few years of his career. But do we think...

Pressure is on Tony Romo to Win Now

Via isportsweb.com  |  June 26, 2012
As I was sitting in a cabin in the Smoky Mountains last Thursday, watching Game 5 of the NBA Finals while on vacation, I never thought of who would be next to have the pressure of winning the title in their respective sport. Yet almost immediately after the Heat wrapped up the NBA championship, chatter began about who now has the most pressure to win a title, and talk turned to...

Brett Favre compares Tony Romo to himself

Via 60 Max Power O  |  June 27, 2012
Make or break year for Tony Romo. I truly believe if the Cowboys don’t make a deep run in the playoffs that Jerry Jones will be actively looking for his replacement. I don’t think the Brett Favre comparison makes any sense, but Brett likes hearing himself talk. In an interview with Deion Sanders on NFL Network, Favre discussed what he likes about several active quarterbacks...
