“It’s not all lollipops and chocolates and fun times,” Tony Romo wistfully laments
Much to the consternation of their fiery Latino fan-base, the Dallas Cowboys have seen disparate results in their four games this season. Before practice yesterday, quarterback Tony Romo admitted that what many see as a dream job can be vexing at times:
“[T]he quarterback and coach get a lot of the blame and a lot of the credit — whether that is right or wrong. I love to talk to Troy [Aikman] and some of the other guys just to … try and improve and to help yourself,” said Romo. “The neat thing when I talk to them is, they didn’t all have — it wasn’t all lollipops and chocolates and fun times along the way. It was a lot of hard work and effort and people beating you down. You have to have a stronger belief in yourself than the disbelief of others.”
The good news for Romo and the Cowboys is that they play the Chiefs this weekend–so everything should be gummy bears and unicorns and glitter for Romo this weekend. But beware: looming ahead is a visit to the Molasses Swamp (a/k/a Philadelphia).

This is the best. post. ever.
Oh, by the way, I was being sarcastic.

If it wasn’t all chocolate and candy, how the hell did he fatten up his ex so quick?
October 9th, 2009 at 11:12 am
Ve understand, Tony. After all, ve are from the land of chocolate.
October 9th, 2009 at 11:12 am
Heigh-ooooooooooooooooooooooo!
October 9th, 2009 at 11:16 am
Romo is kind of like a lollipop because he sucks you see.

Every time I see that “Land of Chocolate” clip, I REALLY want to go there. Or eat some chocolate. Or both.

I thought the Saints were from the Land of Chocolate?

But why stop at just one gratuitous Simpsons’ reference?
The judges would have also accepted the following:
Homer: It’ll be great to see the old gang again. Potsie, Ralph Malph, the Fonz…
Marge: That wasn’t you, that was “Happy Days”!
Homer: No! They weren’t all happy days. Like the time Pinky Tuscadero crashed her motorcycle, or the night I lost all my money to those card sharks and my dad Tom Bosley had to get it back.

@85:
Numerous 32 oz porterhouse with fully loaded baked potato lunches?

Wait, there’s a shortage of sweet treats at the place Wade Phillips works?
October 9th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
We were discussing the land of chocolate?
That was 10 minutes ago!

Not a single door flew open in this post. I’m so disappointed.
October 9th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
I think this pretty much settles any arguments about Romo being a retard.
October 9th, 2009 at 12:17 pm
I wonder what Aikman told Romo about dealing with Skip Bayless.

I’m sure Aikman was a wealth of information of how to quickly and efficiently pack fudge. Not to mention, how to do it discreetly.
October 9th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
. . . then the lollipops and chocolate dropped back into coverage and Romo threw an interception.
October 9th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
That’s one of my favorite Simpsons scenes ever.
Well done.

It’s beginning to dawn on me that Tony Romo is just your run-of-the-mill shitty quarterback. He’s Aaron Brooks in a Texas-sized stadium.
October 9th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
Well, the Redskins play in Chocolate City . . .
October 9th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
LOLipops dropping into coverage. That D is sticky.
/Unlike the Chiefs.
October 9th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
Tony Romo was expecting sunshine, lollipops and rainbows but he got Guns & Roses.

Isn’t this the same story with Tony Homo EVERY year?
Why can’t sports journalists…I don’t know…write about quarterbacks that are good? As much as I love to read about the Cowboys imploding, I’d rather peruse stories that cover teams with the potential to be more than average-at-best.
October 9th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
To make it more understandable to his fanbase, shouldn’t Tony have said, ” It’s not all vibrating cock rings, sweaty all guy 5 ways, and rimjob dreams.” I’m just saying.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
why haven’t there been more Wade and Jerry posts? WTF? I miss that shit
