Tony Romo: NYT profile

Sunday's Cowboys/Patriots game will be Tony Romo's 16th consecutive regular-season start. With a full season under his belt and the Cowboys at 5-0 for the first time in nearly 25 years, the New York Times pulled back the curtain on the 27-year-old QB who went undrafted out of Eastern Illinois. "As if he were a teenager alone in his bedroom, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo stands at his locker and belts out his signature tune, Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'," one of several 1980s pop songs in his off-key repertory." The article spends too much time on Romo's karaoke skills (Cowboys TE Jason Witten: "He does silly little things like sing Journey all the time....") and it's littered with hackneyed he-works-so-hard-blah-blah-blah commentary, but overall it's a good profile, and if you're a Cowboys fan it's definitely worth reading. It also sheds light on his positive relationship with Terrell Owens, who called him nearly every day for two weeks after last year's bobbled snap.
