Tony Romo Wants To Play Sunday?
Tony Romo broke his right pinkie finger and it was estimated that he would miss roughly 4 weeks.
Brett Favre has called Romo telling him that he should try to play through it (if he could).
"The only thing I said was, it's worth trying [to play] if you can deal with the pain and can function good enough with a splint,'' Favre said. "If not, don't try.''And Romo has reportedly told coaches that he wants to play Sunday.
Romo did not practice on Wednesday but did throw the ball on the side with his fractured pinkie in a splint, and according to eyewitnesses, he was able to throw the ball with good velocity and appeared confident after throwing. The session was not open to reporters.
There is no assurance he can protect the ball, take a snap or deliver the ball accurately under game conditions.
The Cowboys' biggest concern is...

Tiger Fans May Soon Regret Bowden Departure
Ah, yes! Finally! The moment we've all been waiting for. After a decade on the sidelines, Tommy Bowden and Clemson have parted ways.
Cheers abound on campus. Tiger Band strikes up and parades down Fort Hill street. Everyone is jubilant, as the coach that has failed to bring us to our first title game in almost twenty years leaves us for good.
There's the buzz, now get ready for the hangover.
What Clemson has done is put the football program in the hands of a no-name, receivers coach Dabo Swinney. While all the talent is still there (minus an injured C.J. Spiller), the Tigers look to have a decent finish to '08. A conference title is a foregone conclusion, but a good bowl game and potentially an 8-win season are still on the horizon.
But what about next year? 2010? 2011?
Clemson will begin feeling...

No Love For Tommy Bowden
Not only has Tommy Bowden been shown the door, his former players are leaning out the windows to mock him, while he slowly retires down a lane of wilted yellow jessamines (the South Carolina state flower, for any non-botanists).
At season's outset, no one would have predicted this. The #9 Tigers were ACC favorites and national title contenders. Really, with traditional conference powers like Florida State and Miami recently taking residence in the ACC cellar, Clemson looked to be the team to beat for the next few years. Bowden, already in his ninth season at the school, must have been envisioning a career at Clemson not unlike his father's at Florida State
But it wasn't to be, and Bowden's fate got me thinking about other coaches whose times at their respective universities were cut shorter than some may have expected:
5. Ron Zook - In 2002,...

Confident Tony Romo Nowhere To Be Found
The Dallas Morning News
GLENDALE, Ariz. - His right hand packed in ice afterward, Tony Romo hid the famous dimples behind a mask.
Nothing to smile about anyway, right?
Not after you lose a sloppy overtime game to the Cardinals, 30-24, in front of a schizoid crowd of 64,389, half Cards, half Cowboys, polar opposites forced by wayward allegiances to sit side by side, cheek to cheek.
And if that scene wasn't weird enough, you witnessed the Cowboys quarterback's continued retreat into a shell.
The numbers say he completed 61 percent of his passes for 321 yards and three touchdowns in a 30-24 overtime loss to Arizona.
The body language? This is not the quarterback we thought we knew.
When he's feeling it, Romo wears his heart on his sleeve. He's an infectious presence on a team that has thrived on his...

Romo Has Broken Finger
The Dallas Cowboys' nightmare of a week just got even worse this morning, as news is filtering out of Big D that star quarterback Tony Romo has a broken pinkie finger on his throwing hand and is expected to be sidelined around four weeks.
Romo is believed to have suffered the injury on the first play of overtime of Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss at Arizona, when he was sacked by the Cardinals' Chike Okeafor. The Pro Bowl signal-caller had thrown for 321 yards and three touchdowns on the afternoon.
If the initial prognosis is correct, Romo would miss three games and return to action for a key showdown at division-rival Washington, which dealt the Cowboys' a stinging two-point loss last month, on November 16. Dallas has a bye the week prior to that game.
However, the standout triggerman appears likely to miss a crucial clash with the...
