And the news just gets better for the Cowboys. After ninth-string wide receiver/special teams maven Sean Morey blocked a Mat McBriar overtime punt to give Arizona a 30-24 victory over Dallas yesterday, we now find out that Tony Romo will miss four weeks with a ... broken pinky on his throwing hand? Really?At least that's the word on the street according to ESPN's Michael Smith. Romo took a pretty good beating against the Cards -- the first time he's really been pushed around all season -- although I don't remember him ever grabbing his throwing hand at any point during the game.
Whatever, the Cowboys' season now lies in the very capable -- and ancient -- hands of Brad Johnson, who is four years older than Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, 36. Johnson was the Vikings starter for most of 2006, but has only attempted 11 passes since (he did complete seven, however!).
If there's a bright spot, it's this: Dallas has their bye in Week 10, which means that Romo should only miss three games. Johnson will face the red-hot, one-game-winning-streak Rams next week, then the Bucs (the team Johnson won the Super Bowl with in 2002), and finally the Giants.
If all goes well, Romo will return to face the Redskins in Washington on Nov. 16. In the meantime, he will rehab at a Mexican resort with his D-List ladyfriend.

He was injured on the first snap of overtime. If you're going to "inform" then get your facts first.

Looks like the Playboy Cowboy finally used up all of his Irish luck. It made me so sick to just see fumbled snaps just bounce right into his hands of their own volition last year.
And how very ironic, coming on the heels of a game where the Cowboys couldn't win even though the zebras tried to offer them the game on a silver platter (forward progress was stopped? Seriously?).

Wildhog offense time with Barber/Felix/Choice taken direct snaps from center instead of Brad Johnson for the next three weeks.

Don't worry COWBOY FANS!!!, Its still early enough in the season, I rather have our injuries now instead toward the last month of the season. This may be the wake up call we needed!! Instead of starting strong like last year and falling apart at the end .. We will just finish strong and be fine. Go COWBOYS!!!

Dallas hasn't won a playoff game since 1996...did you guys see that stat on TV, why even care what happens to them, they haven't been a playoff factor in over a decade (even though every year is their year to win the superbowl, sheesh).
i love it, now if Witten would get hurt (nothing bad, just a pinky or toe will do), b'c i think he's the most important player on the team anyways.
