Yesterday, Jason Garrett said that Tony Romo doesn't have to practice to play.

Today, it's acknowledged that Romo had back surgery and now they declare him out for the season.


Think about that for a second, lol. Packers aren't the only ones who do this stuff, but they haven't done anything like this ... yet.

As has been said many times by many people, there is no reason or incentive for professional organizations to tell the fans and the media every single thing they can about a players injuries.

I remember the 82 World Series when Brewers Rollie Fingers was injured. Brewers management kept everyone guessing as long as they could.

It's week 17. The time to cut the bullshit and do what is in the best interest of your players. To say your QB is day to day and then he goes into back surgery; I cannot even put into words how ridiculous that makes them look in my eyes.

Makes sense for the cowboys. The sooner they announce that Romo is out, the sooner the opponents know they can stop practicing their interception returns.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

There were disagreements between members of that organization. It wasn't a unified front of lying to the fans.

I'll take Orton any day.

I heard that Romo was pushing the doctors to operate.

He figured it was the ONLY way he wouldn't choke on Sunday!

I have Zero problem with McCarthy not telling all the other teams about the teams injuries. If you don't like the way they "reveal" their injuries, get a frickin degree and become a member of the staff. till then, it's not all about you

Injury reports are required for a reason.

Also, it is disingenuous of the team to lie to us about injuries and then be up in arms when fans are upset that Aaron hasn't been cleared to return.
