Tony Romo is retiring and is heading into broadcasting.  Good move for him.

Bad move for those who will have to listen to him...

great, another dallas qb in the broadcast booth

[skippy1999]

I heard he may be replacing Phil Simms

VaRK is an easy wager on those games.

Avi?

Yep. Make him sport the steelers color for a couple of months.

Missus says she's Green Bay'd out right now, so no sojourn to Mecca in 2017.  I sure hate to waste a prime time September game, as the weather would be perfect, but...

Um, Pittsburgh is Mecca in the NFL.     The Pack is there in November.         Maybe the Caps will be in town around that time and it can be a twofer.    Two Meccas in one weekend.     They'll probably have the 2017 Stanley Cup on display.

Pats are at Denver and at Pittsburgh, but host ATL and KC.

Wearing black and yellow would somehow be an upgrade. I feel for those poor bastards. Who's their QB now that the Cutlet is gone? Glennon? Butt fumble? Anyone from this draft will be a disappointment (which is why I hope the Brownies take one too!).

If that Denver game is in October, you could make it a doubleheader

Da Bears

[spidernat]

I was a little shocked at the bears pick but I'm in no position to mock anyone after my team broke the bank for that crap that went by RG3.
