"I feel like we all have 2 battles going on. 1 with the man across from you. The 2nd is with the man inside of you. I think once you control the one inside you, the one across from you really don't matter." -Tony Romo. That's a life lesson if I've ever heard one.
Grown ass man and I'm fighting hard to keep from tearing up listening/watching this. This man has taken more heat from us Cowboy's fans than the media and Cowboy haters combined. IF YOU SEE THIS ROMO THANK YOU SIR FOR THE GOOD, BAD, AND THE UGLY! COWBOY NATION WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU BROTHER. IT WAS AT THIS MOMENT YOU BECAME A LEGEND
This is a guy who has almost all the Cowboys records, was only invited to the combine to be a thrower not even work out. Then went as an UDFA. How far he came from being irrelevant to being one of the best the Cowboys have ever had.
Gabriel Carrasco Amen, one of the best ever if not the best. Could Brady have survived behind line he had for nine years? Not two Games. And people with they're knee jerk reactions? LORD- Let you're kingdom come
so da Where are you getting your info? Troy Aikman played 1 less year and threw 40+ more ints than Romo did. The difference was Aikman had a team to back him and those turnovers weren't as costly
J.T. Dak has no ring. Tony has given more than Dak for now. You act like a fan but seem like a bandwagon. Dak Nation? But it is actually Cowboys Nation.
THIS, THIS right here cements tony's legacy as a cowboy. He's a class act, and is tough as nails. you didn't see brett favre or drew bledsoe do something like this when their successors came into fruition. As a cowboys fan, I can only hope that we make it all the way this year and have tony at least hold that trophy in his hands before he ends his run as a cowboy.
@ Scott Summers - i couldn't have more respect for a pro athlete. Mr. Romo has fully internalized all the great lessons of football. Great fooball player, great man. Thank you for all you have done and are doing for the Cowboys!
That is true. Even though we've had it rough ( Cabo and his injuries ), he was the bigger man and decided to let everyone know where he stands on the situation. I won't think of him like I do with Bledsoe.
Aishik Palit Romo will always be my favorite quarterback mmm it sucks might now seeing him play as a starter but he'll he has heart, great and amazing he's hard working and do so much and just thankfull to have him as our starter qb for cowboy's mmm it hurts to see him like that
even though im not a cowboys fan, ive always liked Romo for his willingness to go out on the field and give it his all. a lot times his efforts has been to little avail or has cost him major injuries... this dude has a huge heart for his passion of the game. and i respect him greatly for that. truly an inspiring man for all he has tried to accomplish and i believe Romo still has a lot of football let in him. if not with Dallas, im sure there are a lot of other teams that would love to have him.
Why does this feel like goodbye? To the end of an era? I'm not even a fan of the Cowboys and I kinda started to get choked up at this. All my life, Romo was one of the most famous quarterbacks in the NFL to me. When I was a little little kid it was Brady, Manning, Brees, and Romo. That's all I knew until I got older and more into the sport. This makes me so sad that Romo has given everything he has, his whole career, whole life to this Cowboys team. And interception and injury jokes aside, he was an amazing quarterback. And now to see him be benched by a rookie after hardly any decline at all aside from ability to stay healthy is really sad, for him to give his all and then be sat aside because a rookie comes in and steals the show while he's injured; yet unlike Bledsoe or Favre, he's accepting it and that's awesome. I'm a Cardinals fan through and through, and I want more than anything for Larry Fitzgerald to get his ring before he goes... But at this point I think Fitz still has a few years left in him and this might be Romo's last season, at least with the Cowboys by the looks of it so if Arizona doesn't make it, I hope more than anything that the Cowboys go and win it all just so Romo can have the honor of hoisting that lombardi trophy... as what he always has been and always will be: a Cowboy, and as someone who now has all the respect I can give. You're a good man Romo, and I hope Canton Ohio sees you the same way. From the Red Sea, much respect to you and your Cowboys.
Hawkeye Plerce Good stuff man, I've seen a lot of Romo haters now acting all nice and giving respects to him just bc everybody else is doing it and it just comes off fake to me but yours comes off genuine judging by how much effort you put in your post. So props to you. As a long time Cowboys fan I'd rather see Romo hoisting that Lombardi trophy as THE man leading that team not as a backup. Whether it's here in Dallas or somewhere else, it would be much better if he was the starting QB leading his team to a SB victory.
Hawkeye Plerce amen and your right on point on every point. I agree about Fitzgerald, there has been talk about best landing for ROMO next year. Arizona is starting to make a lot of sense. IMAGINE!
It's not easy to go up to the podium and do that. He's got my respect and hopefully all the cowboys fans who have transitioned to Dak still have respect for Tony
I've been on the Dak train since day 1, but in no way do I dare disrespect what Tony has meant to the Cowboys. As in many things in life timing is everything. I truly believe this is Dak's time. Felt it the moment Tony went down. Just look at Dak's story, the way he's earned his starting jobs, and this had fate written all over it. Tony has given everything to this team and he deserves our utmost respect. Wouldn't want Dak learning from anyone else. Can't imagine what Tony has been going through. I know it's been eating him alive. Thanks Tony for keeping hope alive during some of our darkest days as Cowboys fans!
We as cowboys fans don't deserve this man. Class personified, tough, was the only reason the cowboys were relevant. And right when the cowboys finally build an elite team injuries plague him. I feel for the man I hope he gets to hoist that trophy at the end of the year.
Kris Albert yeah throwing picks thank you dak you can finally shut up these romo fans for good and as for romo thank you for not being a distraction now the Cowboys can do to what you couldn't do and that win a super bowl #DC4L
I'm a long time Giants fan. I've disliked and trash talked this guy for the last 10 years. My respect for him has never been stronger than it is today. Best of luck, Tony.
I've hated romo for the past ten years and now I'm going to miss him because it was fun to play against romo cuz the giants and cowboys games always came down to the final drive every time
Now Romo haters wanna act all nice and give props and show respect to him lol, y'all some "let me come off like a bigger person here and give him respect but really only doing it bc everybody else is doing it" type of people. It's a shame it took Romo losing his starting job bc of injuries and him saying Dak has earned the starting job to finally get respect from y'all fools.
I blame Scott Lineham and Jason Garret for his lack of success. If Parcels stayed for a few more years or if Wade Phillips was allowed to do his job he would of had a ring (or two) by now.
1 thing i like about romo that he is a tough guy . dude have so many injures and still want to play, most players would retire after like 2 in a row injuries all respect.
Yea his facial expression says it all, he wants to play with this squad so bad but at the same time notices something special in that locker room. This is literally the best squad that Romo would have had in his whole career besides the 2014 squad.
TEAM RΩCKET Highest 4th quarter passer rating in NFL history. By percentage of games played he had the most 4th quarter comebacks ever. You have no idea what you’re talking about
@@sukmccock5898 I know about all of that, but in every sport if you have a lack of postseason success it's hard to call you great. When you have to start looking into random stats to defend an athlete it's not a good look. So I know what I'm talking about we just have different opinions :)
Lol Tony has been one of the most overrated qb's ever. Because of media riding the cowboys hard. They can be losing and they'll still be considered superbowl contenders
Seeing Romo, who I've been watching my whole life as a football fan, doing something like this is absolutely heart wrenching. I really do love Romo and seeing him play, especially the few times I've seen him live in stadium was always an amazing experience. Ups and downs and all. Going to miss seeing Romo starting on the field, a true class act, and the greatest Dallas Cowboy's QB of all time in my eyes. #CowboysNation
Not even a Cowboys fan but this guy has always been a top 5 QB to me. He carried the team when they had no weapons and a terrible defense. He's labeled as a choke artist even though he has more 4th quarter comebacks than any other guy in the league. And he's one of the best scramblers that can extend plays into deep bombs, not just take off and run like Newton or Wilson. Only Big Ben is better than Romo at that aspect. And he was just a nobody coming to the Cowboys undrafted. I can't say he's as inspirational as Kurt Warner, but he's always been one of my favorite players. I'm 22 and have been watching football growing up since I was kid. While I don't have memories of the great QBs, my favorite top of all time since I can remember has been 1) Brett Favre 2) Payton Manning 3)Michael Vick 4)Kurt Warner 5)Tony Romo. I'm a Saints fan and surprise myself that I don't consider Brees in my top 5 favorite.
Brees has been in the league for a while man. He is a great QB, and the Saints are a great team. I have respect for the Saints, I hope they win the NFC South this year. It has been a rough year for the NFC.
You can see it from his eyes that he knows he's the better QB but he also knows Dak needs to keep playing since the team is doing so great. I hope he keeps working and is ready to play if needed. #respect
Sebastian Pessi but he's not the better one, look at stats from his past few years. he's practically made of metal because of all the surgeries... you cannot say that he's better. he lead his team to 8-1. when was the last time that happened with romo? nothing wrong with him, I love romo, and I'm a broncos fan..
MenuTube he is a better QB, and the team around him is FINALLY good, only to see a rookie reaping the benefits. Last time Tony played a full season (2014), he had the BEST QBR in the league and was one bad play from being in the NFC title game...
Sebastian Pessi yeah i agree he is better than dak and i believe that if tony played they would still be a top contender for the superbowl. The cowboys just dont need the gunslinger anymore they need the game manager. tony just threw too many picks at times ive always thought tony was a great qb and hope he gets to start for a contender next year
All Romo has done is be an undrafted free agent and climb up the ranks to the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys with the 2nd HIGHEST QB rating in the history of the NFL. He just plays with class and doesn't have distractions or get in trouble yet he consistently gets ripped by the public and the media. Thanks for the memories Tony!
Ive said for years he should be our future QB coach and later OC (he's a genius when it comes to reading defenses) and while Jerry says some (plenty) of stupid stuff he actually mentioned he thinks Tony would make a great coach I just want him to retire a Cowboy. It hurt seeing Emmitt with the Cardinals. Same with DWare, but I was so freaken happy when he finally got a Championship
Jonathan Nunez hell probably end up in Denver and win the SuperBowl next year against the Cowboys hopefully. John Elway likes talented QBs even if theyre coming back from injuries at the end of their career.
Elway is the QB whisperer. And Denvers defense led them to SB with Manning at helm at one of worst career seasons of his career. Romo deserves a ring and I think he can get it at Denver.
I have been a fan since 1971! This is an awesome guy! It's gotta be tough as a player, he feels he can't be a part of it but he is! Tony thanks man, enjoy the ride ok? Hang in there! God bless brother
Jeffrey Adams I'm with you on that one. My whole family has been Cowboys fans. My grandfather would tell me stories of some great game he watched growing up. In all my years watching football I have never witnessed anyone coming on and humbling everyone with that kind of speech! We will all miss his games.
Romo isn't done he'll be starting playing again for the Cowboys before his time is done. My guy Tony Romo is the epitome of the ultimate competitor I've ever seen and he deserves a ring after all he's sacrificed and given to this organization and the loyal fans who appreciate him for everything, not the idiotic ignorant nay sayers and haters who bash and ridicule him. I for one want to see Tony win a ring whether for the Cowboys or for another organization with fans who appreciate him he's a real class act stand up guy.
I'm not much of a Dallas Cowboys guy but Tony proved in that moment how humble of a man he really is. "Dak Prescott. He's earned the right to be our Quarterback." Humbling words from a humble man. That is the true meaning of the word respect. I wish Tony all the best in whatever his future brings.
A 100 percent class act. I'm NOT a Cowboys fan AT ALL, but I will ALWAYS defend Tony Romo on and off the field. He's a man of faith and showed immense humility in this press conference. Professional sports need more like him.
Tony if your reading this then this is what I have to say.... I grew up watching you. I've always been a Cowboys fan and you were the harden soul of the team. From the first pass you threw to the last. You have always been my favorite QB. I cried when I heard of this. And you will always be remembered as the best quarterback in my book and in many other books. I bought jerseys of you and other stuff. I have a football signed by you and another one. You have my respect Tony.
i almost teared up watching this, from his first NFL pass back in 06, MNF againts NY, he took the league by storm overnight, Ive supported him through the good and bad, i envisioned 2014 Romo all over again before he got hurt this yr, Ive even supported him while Dak is on fire, just so much respect right now for the General #9, I want to cry just writing this, never seen any starter make a speach like this, as a Cowboys fan, this really hurts, but I dont believe we have seen the last of Tony #CowboyNation #DC4L
Wow, i can't lie, i might've gone overboard on my negative opinions on him playing as a starter but i've got mad respect for Tony Romo right now. Now i just hope they can work his contract to free up cap space to get pieces for the D.
I'm a Steelers fan and I was moved to tears after watching this for the first time back in 2016, love Tony Romo and the Cowboys or hate them, this was a really beautiful speech.
This, coming from a huge Giants fan, is why Romo is great. He brought most of us watching to tears, including me. He knows exactly what to do and what to say. Romo, thank you.
Romo is as good a QB as the Cowboys Ever had. He lacked the supporting cast most of the years. I saw him do things that I doubt any other QB could have done. When he failed, it was due primarily because he was trying to do what was nearly impossible. If he had had the offensive line back 4-5 years ago, there is no telling where he would have taken this team. As is, I'm happy to see him leave with as much money as he can take with him. Jones owes him!
Skyblue5914 That's a mistake by Denver. HUGE mistake. If he gets injured with the best O-line in football, who knows what will happen with, from what I heard, with a mediocre O-line.
Now this is what I needed to hear. No more teasing you on your name. You have earned my respect today. You will have another time in the starting role tony. Young men need to learn. We are a team, there is no I
I have had. back issues for years and could not imagine doing what this man does day in and day out, I wish you the best , Tony, you will always be a Cowboy no matter the outcome of all this. We are lucky to have you on our team.. Go Cowboys!!!
Tony has been my favorite player since he started....he's always been unfairly criticized and never got enough credit. For most of his career he had an average defense at best and below average of o-line (until recently) and still always gave his team a chance to win. He never cried or complained like a lot of other quarterbacks do he just held his head up and took whatever came his way. He literally gave everything he had to this team. I wish he coulda went out like he deserved but this shows you what kinda man he is that he stood up there and passed his team onto Dak. This had to be so hard but he should have finally earned the respect he always deserved!
Ever since I saw Dak play i thought, we've been waiting for a guy like this for a while now, and i wanted Dak to remain the starting QB. I thought Romo was an ok QB, great in regular season, not so great in post season. I didn't realize how depressed Tony was after seeing his team that he has led for so long, be overtaken by a rookie QB, This is one of the best speeches I've ever heard, and i can sympathize with him. I genuinely fell really bad for the guy. He has never deserved any unnecessary hate that he's had. Thank you for leading this team. Respect.
I cried hearing this speech. This man played through so much injuries for this. Not a bad situation for the Cowboys, but it's a damn awful situation for Romo. Romo's earned the right to be our quarterback imo. Please let the GOAT return
I think deep down I Knew this speech was coming but even deeper down I was dreading it. Tony has been *The* Cowboy and our hero for the last 10 years and every real Cowboys fan on here, you know what I'm talking about. Never thought I'd see this day. Wish there was a say I could tell Tony that we still love him & how grateful we are for every win, every loss..every TD..every thrilling game and most of all- his sacrifice for this team.
Romo is truly a class act. Whatever Dallas achieves this year, they dedicate to him for all the hard years we've been through as fans. God bless you, TR#9! Cowboys rule!
Dbz dokkan fanatic Dbz lover That is what makes him so great. The fact that he hasn't retired shows that he has the drive that no ordinary man has. That is why he is the Cowboys true Quarterback and he always will be.
Class Act. We are Denver Broncos fans through and through however my 8 year old has been a huge Romo and Cowboys fan for as long as I can remember. Thank you Tony Romo for being such a great example of a true sportsman and for being an actual role model. In this day and age your actions and words are an inspiration. In your press conference you showed both humility and courage and it was greatly appreciated. I was proud to share this video with my son tonight! Thank you for being such an amazing role model!
That's a man right there.... I wish him nothing but success in the future and will always remember him as a Cowboys great. Tony you are a awesome football player and human being.
This breaks my heart. At the same time, I hope this shows people that have ever doubted Tony who he really is. He's a team player in every sense and knows the team comes before everything else. I respect him so much and I hope we can get that one Super Bowl just for him. He and Jason Witten are two of the classiest Cowboys to ever play and they deserve to win it together.
Class act from a guy who has gotten a raw deal in Dallas. we never could put a team around him until 2014, but it was him who took the blame for every loss despite no defense or no o-line. He just kept working hard and he was so passionate he kept going out there to prove everyone wrong. Thanks Tony for all you sacrificed for my Cowboys.
@ConwayTwittercowboys fans are just awful towards the qb. The exact same thing is happening to Dak and everyone who hated Romo in the 2010s now acts like they never hated Romo and all the sudden they think he could’ve won us a Super Bowl. I swear people only think what’s popular.
Only true Cowboys fans will know that romo was a great quarterback. His stats don't lie. Sure he's choked, but everyone has bad moments. If he would've gotten that ring in 2014, if the refs would've called that a catch, he would have been a HOF. Don't doubt my boy Romo, because he is underrated as hell
Romo you are a class act guy man.. That had to have been hard to get up there and tell the people what you said. I'll always have much respect for you man. GO COWBOYS!!
I've been watching every game for many years..and I emphasize every. This team this year is the best all around since romo has been starting qb. He's always carried everything single handily. He deserves this run more than anything. I love you romo!!
Can't take away anything from Romo, this moment will elevate him to the next level. Good job Romo!!! The true life long fans still got your back. Keep your head up and keep it movin!!!!
I owe the biggest apology to Tony for all the hate I gave him. He was my favorite QB since 2008 when I first started watching the Cowboys. I remember when he led them to that 11-5 record in 2009 and won that wildcard game against the eagles. I remember when he had his worst playoff game against the vikings. Then the injury in 2010 the sidelined him for most the season. Ever since then it was nothing but criticism as he went 8-8 three times. Then the 2014 season comes along, and he silenced everyone, gets back in the playoffs, and almost makes in the conference championship. Everyone thought we would make it all the way in 2015. But then Romo got hurt again, and we couldn't win without him. I didn't have his back in his bad years, but now with Dak stepping in and Romo passing off the torch all I can think about is how much I'll miss Romo. I wish him the best and hope I can see him play one more season. Romo, You're the man!
As a Giants fan I never could root for Romo but after seeing this I have a whole new rsspect for him as a man. He showed us alll something here. Good luck to Tony, where ever he goes.
Also respect. This man has been my QB for all 9 years I've watched football. I will support this man till the day I die. Along with supporting my team and every aspect of the team.
That was awesome. Romo is a REAL team player. He sees what's happening and does not want anything, not even his own desire to play, to mess it up. Total class act.
been a Romo fan since day 1 and as much as I like winning it sucks that Romo won't be the one leading us as of right now. this man could've been a hall of fame type qb for us.
It just sucks that he finally had the team he suffered and waited for and to be done in at preseason, to go out that way when you still have alot of gas in the tank. Swallowing ones pride is the hardest thing to do. He knew his time was over. He passed the torch gracefully and with class and allowed dak to become who he is today. Romo deserves to be in the ring of honor and hall of fame
Here in 2021 season, at 3-1 , Romo TY so much for the great run we had and believing in Dak and giving him your blessings- what a class act ... Let's go get some ! Go Cowboys 2021 !
this took alot of guts...proud of you romo that was the speech of a true leader...the man makes the cowboy the cowboy doesn't make the man...#cowboys...
😢 I cried during this. Through all the love and hate of my team, all the greats that have hung jerseys for this team at the Quarterback Position like: Don, Rodger Staubach, Troy, and Danny. all those guys, especially Troy and Rodger. I was just born when the Cowboys won their last superbowl, I don't have a connection to those guys like I do this man. Tony made me fall in love with the Cowboys. He was a gunslinger, and he deserves a ring, but I don't want him having a ring and it not be with the Silver and Blue...he needs to be a Cowboy for life. And this...this is just class personified. You're not a Cowboys fan if you couldn't stand Tony Romo, You're not a Cowboys fan if you think Tony needs to start over Dak...You're a Cowboys fan if you realize we just need the W's...and this man Tony Romo is letting us keep getting the W's. From Undrafted Rookie Free Agent, to reincarnation of Drew Bledsoe...the man will always be my Quarterback who made me love the game. The ups and downs were fun, the come from behind victories were nerve racking, the thanksgiving games and classy attitude in the locker room will be in my heart. I hope how ever this plays out, Dak and Romo, keep the train rolling. Both Class Acts and I love it.
Watching the man that is not only my favorite player of all time, but my role model, being that emotional and loyal towards his team makes me want to cry so bad Jesus this sucks
Tajh Walker yes we do. dak over threw the receivers 7 different times on Sunday one on a 3rd and 2. dak don't throw the ball down field and when he does he's the 12th worst QB throwing the ball over 20 yards.
Frank Pizano stfu you aint a try cowboys fan😂 we are 8-1 and you are bitching?😂 Dak is good and he's the future. of course i want romo back as well but why would you pick negatives when we are winning.
Damn it takes a lot of courage to hand off your team like that man. I honestly didn't like tony romo at all but after today my view of him changed man. He got my respect. Takes a man to do that. Hands down to tony🙏🏻 🙌🏼
Cowboys fan here. No matter what happens Tony, you will always be held in high esteem. We thank you for your sacrifice and your effort. We win or we lose as a team.
I will always have respect for #9 Tony Romo. I've watched him play since elementary school and now in college, I will forever have his back and admire the way he sacrificed his body for the team. His legacy is forever embedded in the Dallas Cowboys organization and I can't thank this man enough for all he has done for the team. #9
"I feel like we all have 2 battles going on. 1 with the man across from you. The 2nd is with the man inside of you. I think once you control the one inside you, the one across from you really don't matter." -Tony Romo. That's a life lesson if I've ever heard one.
Rodney White The MAN INSIDE you
If you don’t believe that, then you have not lived.
to this day I still don't understand why this man has gotten an unessesary amount of hate throughout his career. He's a class act
I thinks it boils down to him hooking up with Jessica Simpson haha. Love the guy, can't wait to see what comes next.
Magic Toaster Its not hate its no success for "Americas team" that erked people
Coming up very small in huge games. Overachieving in small games, but un underachieving in big ones
He plays for the Cowboys.
Yusuf Abdullah Actually he is statistically one of the most clutch quarterbacks in nfl history.
This guy isn't on my team and I honestly shed a few tears hearing this amazing speech. Respect.
Seahawks Fan Bob
Seahawks Fan Bob same man. He's the only dallas qb I've ever known
yeah
Yoboi Boy same
Seahawks Fan Bob same I like the eagles , there most hated rival but I still felt bad for Romo
This almost made me cry, I've grown up watching this man be the quarterback for my favorite team.
Law-Dog same fam
Law-Dog Yep, seen him my whole life
Law-Dog same man! i grew up with tony back when i first started watching football as a freshman in hs 10 years ago
Law-Dog I also wanna cry😭🏈
Law-Dog Same.. That's my quarterback, man..
Grown ass man and I'm fighting hard to keep from tearing up listening/watching this.
This man has taken more heat from us Cowboy's fans than the media and Cowboy haters combined.
IF YOU SEE THIS ROMO THANK YOU SIR FOR THE GOOD, BAD, AND THE UGLY! COWBOY NATION WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU BROTHER. IT WAS AT THIS MOMENT YOU BECAME A LEGEND
Daniel fountain You just made me tear up again! Very well said. No matter where Tony lands he will be a Cowboy in spirit for life.
Daniel fountain damn right.. well said
Daniel fountain I love romo
Daniel fountain nice
Daniel fountain Well said Dan, I have been a fan since 71, never been more proud to be a fan! Take care sir
This is a guy who has almost all the Cowboys records, was only invited to the combine to be a thrower not even work out. Then went as an UDFA. How far he came from being irrelevant to being one of the best the Cowboys have ever had.
Gabriel Carrasco
Gabriel Carrasco Amen, one of the best ever if not the best. Could Brady have survived behind line he had for nine years? Not two Games. And people with they're knee jerk reactions? LORD- Let you're kingdom come
he has the INTERCEPTION record too
so da Where are you getting your info? Troy Aikman played 1 less year and threw 40+ more ints than Romo did. The difference was Aikman had a team to back him and those turnovers weren't as costly
J.T. Dak has no ring. Tony has given more than Dak for now. You act like a fan but seem like a bandwagon. Dak Nation? But it is actually Cowboys Nation.
THIS, THIS right here cements tony's legacy as a cowboy. He's a class act, and is tough as nails. you didn't see brett favre or drew bledsoe do something like this when their successors came into fruition. As a cowboys fan, I can only hope that we make it all the way this year and have tony at least hold that trophy in his hands before he ends his run as a cowboy.
Scott Summers "Tough as Nails" LMAOOOOO lmk how the backs doing.
maybe his back is weak but it takes a strong mind to speak the way he did...
Obviously but im referring to youre tough as nails comment. He's made of glass but mentally he's tough.
@ Scott Summers - i couldn't have more respect for a pro athlete. Mr. Romo has fully internalized all the great lessons of football. Great fooball player, great man. Thank you for all you have done and are doing for the Cowboys!
That is true. Even though we've had it rough ( Cabo and his injuries ), he was the bigger man and decided to let everyone know where he stands on the situation. I won't think of him like I do with Bledsoe.
It takes a big man tony.
love from patsnation
Aishik Palit thanks man
thanks man we will all miss tony.
respect. thanks for being generous .
Respect. Thank you.
Aishik Palit Romo will always be my favorite quarterback mmm it sucks might now seeing him play as a starter but he'll he has heart, great and amazing he's hard working and do so much and just thankfull to have him as our starter qb for cowboy's mmm it hurts to see him like that
even though im not a cowboys fan, ive always liked Romo for his willingness to go out on the field and give it his all. a lot times his efforts has been to little avail or has cost him major injuries... this dude has a huge heart for his passion of the game. and i respect him greatly for that. truly an inspiring man for all he has tried to accomplish and i believe Romo still has a lot of football let in him. if not with Dallas, im sure there are a lot of other teams that would love to have him.
Why does this feel like goodbye? To the end of an era? I'm not even a fan of the Cowboys and I kinda started to get choked up at this. All my life, Romo was one of the most famous quarterbacks in the NFL to me. When I was a little little kid it was Brady, Manning, Brees, and Romo. That's all I knew until I got older and more into the sport. This makes me so sad that Romo has given everything he has, his whole career, whole life to this Cowboys team. And interception and injury jokes aside, he was an amazing quarterback. And now to see him be benched by a rookie after hardly any decline at all aside from ability to stay healthy is really sad, for him to give his all and then be sat aside because a rookie comes in and steals the show while he's injured; yet unlike Bledsoe or Favre, he's accepting it and that's awesome. I'm a Cardinals fan through and through, and I want more than anything for Larry Fitzgerald to get his ring before he goes... But at this point I think Fitz still has a few years left in him and this might be Romo's last season, at least with the Cowboys by the looks of it so if Arizona doesn't make it, I hope more than anything that the Cowboys go and win it all just so Romo can have the honor of hoisting that lombardi trophy... as what he always has been and always will be: a Cowboy, and as someone who now has all the respect I can give. You're a good man Romo, and I hope Canton Ohio sees you the same way. From the Red Sea, much respect to you and your Cowboys.

Good stuff man, I've seen a lot of Romo haters now acting all nice and giving respects to him just bc everybody else is doing it and it just comes off fake to me but yours comes off genuine judging by how much effort you put in your post. So props to you.
As a long time Cowboys fan I'd rather see Romo hoisting that Lombardi trophy as THE man leading that team not as a backup. Whether it's here in Dallas or somewhere else, it would be much better if he was the starting QB leading his team to a SB victory.
Hawkeye Plerce hell ya bro much respect 2 you my friend
Hawkeye Plerce amen and your right on point on every point. I agree about Fitzgerald, there has been talk about best landing for ROMO next year. Arizona is starting to make a lot of sense. IMAGINE!
Man, I have a lot of respect for the Cardinals. I am hoping that the Cardinals win the NFC West.
Hawkeye Plerce great post man... simply great
It's not easy to go up to the podium and do that. He's got my respect and hopefully all the cowboys fans who have transitioned to Dak still have respect for Tony
Skepticalkhan6 ....I do! thanks Pats nation...stay classy!
I like tony romo better but I wouldn't be as mad and accept the fact dak is our QB right now if people showed more respect for tony
I've been on the Dak train since day 1, but in no way do I dare disrespect what Tony has meant to the Cowboys. As in many things in life timing is everything. I truly believe this is Dak's time. Felt it the moment Tony went down. Just look at Dak's story, the way he's earned his starting jobs, and this had fate written all over it. Tony has given everything to this team and he deserves our utmost respect. Wouldn't want Dak learning from anyone else. Can't imagine what Tony has been going through. I know it's been eating him alive. Thanks Tony for keeping hope alive during some of our darkest days as Cowboys fans!
Skepticalkhan6 we always had respect for tony. no one else did.
Skepticalkhan6 we do
Dam. What a guy Romo is. Gonna miss seing him play for the Dallas Cowboys.
TX _Beast yea but I'm sure Dak will keep balling and Romo will go to a new team
you going to miss interceptions?
Enrique Ybarra missing ints and injures? something we don't see from siemian 😏
After the year he is !
+Ammar Akbar Romo sucks. Deal with it!
We as cowboys fans don't deserve this man. Class personified, tough, was the only reason the cowboys were relevant. And right when the cowboys finally build an elite team injuries plague him. I feel for the man I hope he gets to hoist that trophy at the end of the year.
Kris Albert Good things happen to good people. he isn't done yet. if he does leave Dallas maybe he can go to Denver and win a ring with D-ware
Kris Albert yeah throwing picks thank you dak you can finally shut up these romo fans for good and as for romo thank you for not being a distraction now the Cowboys can do to what you couldn't do and that win a super bowl #DC4L
Kris Albert Championships are earned we don't deserve or need him he should be in Denver
Raymond Thomas I can be a fan of Romos and Dak's at the same time unlike damn near all of the fan base.
Raymond Thomas you got no respect for greatness
I'm a long time Giants fan. I've disliked and trash talked this guy for the last 10 years.
My respect for him has never been stronger than it is today. Best of luck, Tony.
Anthony Delmonico same
Anthony Delmonico, I'm a life long Eagles fan and I feel the same way rn
Same bro u couldn't of said it better
Anthony Delmonico respect
I've hated romo for the past ten years and now I'm going to miss him because it was fun to play against romo cuz the giants and cowboys games always came down to the final drive every time
Now Romo haters wanna act all nice and give props and show respect to him lol, y'all some "let me come off like a bigger person here and give him respect but really only doing it bc everybody else is doing it" type of people.
It's a shame it took Romo losing his starting job bc of injuries and him saying Dak has earned the starting job to finally get respect from y'all fools.
I blame Scott Lineham and Jason Garret for his lack of success. If Parcels stayed for a few more years or if Wade Phillips was allowed to do his job he would of had a ring (or two) by now.
1 thing i like about romo that he is a tough guy . dude have so many injures and still want to play, most players would retire after like 2 in a row injuries all respect.
agree
RG3 #SMOKINGTHAT3 #10hunnit #DAWGPOUND #17-16MVP W
peyton manning #peybrezzy #slimpeyton #18hunnit he's probably going to go with the broncos and probably go to the SB 52 against the cowboys
That would be a MUST WATCH
Tony Romo #9hunnit #ScrambleGod hit the bench are just retire
Man respect Tony it took me 10 years to says this your my Qb
Falling Angel W
Falling Angel huh?
Falling Angel Dak is mine

Falling Angel W
He sounded so sad through it... But he knows that he's pretty much done as a starter and that shows what type of guy Romo really is.
Yea his facial expression says it all, he wants to play with this squad so bad but at the same time notices something special in that locker room. This is literally the best squad that Romo would have had in his whole career besides the 2014 squad.
he isn't done
J Veezy 2014 had a terrible defense which let him down in the playoffs. we actually have a decent this year. this team would've been better than 2014
11/10 u obviously wasn't listening 👂 to wat he was saying.
Nahyan Munawar that's true but the defense from last year and this year has run the table on us.
I'm an Eagles fan and I feel for Romo! total class and I have so much respect for the man. i hated for this to happen to him! such a great guy!!!
Mad Respect for you since your an Eagles fan, I’m a cowboys fan. Tony Romo was the most badass quarterback the cowboys ever had
@@notr.e I agree, as a dallas cowboys fan as well
97.1 passers rating, 3rd best in NFL history. I don't think Tony Romo ever let anyone down.
@@rufijonuzi6933 There is more to a team than just the QB. Every champion has had a decent defense.. Tony had the worst.
Steven Franco he also isn’t clutch, team can’t perform if their QB doesn’t either. Romo is trash
TEAM RΩCKET Highest 4th quarter passer rating in NFL history. By percentage of games played he had the most 4th quarter comebacks ever. You have no idea what you’re talking about
@@sukmccock5898 I know about all of that, but in every sport if you have a lack of postseason success it's hard to call you great. When you have to start looking into random stats to defend an athlete it's not a good look. So I know what I'm talking about we just have different opinions :)
TEAM RΩCKET Marino didn’t ever win a ring, Matt Ryan, Jim Kelly. Why is romo attacked like this.
Romo you always has been underrated. But people will have alot more respect for you now.
+Rasuke11 sounds like your a trash talking bear fan
Rasuke11 No he means underrated
Lol Tony has been one of the most overrated qb's ever. Because of media riding the cowboys hard. They can be losing and they'll still be considered superbowl contenders
Cold Waters He's underrated not overrated
Asad Lalani Lol he's overrated lmk how the playoff record looking and skip bayless making him sound like he won 7 Sb's
U don't miss something until it's gone idc how good we are doing I will always love tony.
D-Raw it really makes it hard to be excited for the next game
Rasuke11 can't put that on romo, he's carried shitty teams further than most wouldve.
Matthew Marcellin Agreed, very much so. He carried the dead weight around him for the longest time.
D-Raw just like they disrespected the GOAT KOBE
John Plat L
Seeing Romo, who I've been watching my whole life as a football fan, doing something like this is absolutely heart wrenching. I really do love Romo and seeing him play, especially the few times I've seen him live in stadium was always an amazing experience. Ups and downs and all. Going to miss seeing Romo starting on the field, a true class act, and the greatest Dallas Cowboy's QB of all time in my eyes. #CowboysNation
Not even a Cowboys fan but this guy has always been a top 5 QB to me. He carried the team when they had no weapons and a terrible defense. He's labeled as a choke artist even though he has more 4th quarter comebacks than any other guy in the league. And he's one of the best scramblers that can extend plays into deep bombs, not just take off and run like Newton or Wilson. Only Big Ben is better than Romo at that aspect. And he was just a nobody coming to the Cowboys undrafted. I can't say he's as inspirational as Kurt Warner, but he's always been one of my favorite players.
I'm 22 and have been watching football growing up since I was kid. While I don't have memories of the great QBs, my favorite top of all time since I can remember has been 1) Brett Favre 2) Payton Manning 3)Michael Vick 4)Kurt Warner 5)Tony Romo. I'm a Saints fan and surprise myself that I don't consider Brees in my top 5 favorite.
Brees has been in the league for a while man. He is a great QB, and the Saints are a great team. I have respect for the Saints, I hope they win the NFC South this year. It has been a rough year for the NFC.
Yeah... then fumbl or throw it to a cornerback in the fourth quater.. not sure what Tony Romo you are talking about.
That's my quarterback.
yes it is our quarterback. forever.
You can see it from his eyes that he knows he's the better QB but he also knows Dak needs to keep playing since the team is doing so great.
I hope he keeps working and is ready to play if needed. #respect
Sebastian Pessi but he's not the better one, look at stats from his past few years. he's practically made of metal because of all the surgeries... you cannot say that he's better. he lead his team to 8-1. when was the last time that happened with romo? nothing wrong with him, I love romo, and I'm a broncos fan..
MenuTube he is a better QB, and the team around him is FINALLY good, only to see a rookie reaping the benefits. Last time Tony played a full season (2014), he had the BEST QBR in the league and was one bad play from being in the NFC title game...
Sebastian Pessi yeah i agree he is better than dak and i believe that if tony played they would still be a top contender for the superbowl. The cowboys just dont need the gunslinger anymore they need the game manager. tony just threw too many picks at times ive always thought tony was a great qb and hope he gets to start for a contender next year
MenuTube Tony actually had a better QBR than Dak his first season as a starter through a nine game stretch.
But he isn't
All Romo has done is be an undrafted free agent and climb up the ranks to the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys with the 2nd HIGHEST QB rating in the history of the NFL. He just plays with class and doesn't have distractions or get in trouble yet he consistently gets ripped by the public and the media. Thanks for the memories Tony!
I would love for Romo to stay as Backup for the cowboys. Cowboys vet forever he is a cowboy
Ive said for years he should be our future QB coach and later OC (he's a genius when it comes to reading defenses) and while Jerry says some (plenty) of stupid stuff he actually mentioned he thinks Tony would make a great coach
I just want him to retire a Cowboy. It hurt seeing Emmitt with the Cardinals. Same with DWare, but I was so freaken happy when he finally got a Championship
Jonathan Nunez he deserves better he deserves to be with the Broncos
Your backup shouldn't be getting paid $18 mil annually. He would most likely need to take a huge pay cut to stay with the team unfortunately
Jonathan Nunez
hell probably end up in Denver and win the SuperBowl next year against the Cowboys hopefully.
John Elway likes talented QBs even if theyre coming back from injuries at the end of their career.
Elway is the QB whisperer. And Denvers defense led them to SB with Manning at helm at one of worst career seasons of his career. Romo deserves a ring and I think he can get it at Denver.
Anyone else watching this in 2019 and hoping he comes to coach next year
2020
I have been a fan since 1971! This is an awesome guy! It's gotta be tough as a player, he feels he can't be a part of it but he is! Tony thanks man, enjoy the ride ok? Hang in there! God bless brother
Jeffrey Adams 👌
Jeffrey Adams I'm with you on that one. My whole family has been Cowboys fans. My grandfather would tell me stories of some great game he watched growing up. In all my years watching football I have never witnessed anyone coming on and humbling everyone with that kind of speech! We will all miss his games.
Shorty Hernandez thank you shorty, take care sir, how bout them cowboys!
lowkey gonna miss seeing Romo play.
Some of us will, it's Dak's time to shine.
lol
yhank u
It'z Blackace, I'll miss his interceptions 😢 HTTR! well at least we now have game film on Dak
It'z Blackace me too he sacrificed his body for this team
Dak Prescott is Tom Bradying the guy who Tom Bradyied the guy who got Tom Bradyied by Tom Brady.
Edwin EMJ its a paradox
Edwin EMJ. lmao
Edwin EMJ no he just got kaepernicked like.alex smith
Hilarious....I wish I could give that comment 1,000 likes
Can somebody explain this joke to me?
as much as i love the way Dak Prescott is playing, i cant say Tony Romo is done.
Adrian Contreras he's done bro...I'm going to miss him to
he has a future with another team but the chemistry dak has with the team cant be disrupted
same i romo is my fav on the cowboys. I am a cowboys fan.
Romo isn't done he'll be starting playing again for the Cowboys before his time is done. My guy Tony Romo is the epitome of the ultimate competitor I've ever seen and he deserves a ring after all he's sacrificed and given to this organization and the loyal fans who appreciate him for everything, not the idiotic ignorant nay sayers and haters who bash and ridicule him. I for one want to see Tony win a ring whether for the Cowboys or for another organization with fans who appreciate him he's a real class act stand up guy.
+David_007 Hunter agreed
I'm not much of a Dallas Cowboys guy but Tony proved in that moment how humble of a man he really is. "Dak Prescott. He's earned the right to be our Quarterback." Humbling words from a humble man. That is the true meaning of the word respect. I wish Tony all the best in whatever his future brings.
this is why i hate cowboy fans they've trashed this man for years and he's given so much to this team even his health
Keane Martin I know I’m a year late but literally everyone who isn’t a cowboys fans trashed him, you act like non cowboys fans have him credit 🤦♂️
Keane Martin not all cowboys fans smh
Now they're stuck with Dak
Thank you Romo. I think that was the stand up thing to do. much respect
fingalikengud 🙏🏿 Amen
I'm an Eagles fan but I always used to make fun on Romo, but I realized how hard he has worked to get their.
Brayden Gallagher thats your fault your a hater and know it now.
who doenst hate their division rivals? i hated romo but always respected him
A 100 percent class act. I'm NOT a Cowboys fan AT ALL, but I will ALWAYS defend Tony Romo on and off the field. He's a man of faith and showed immense humility in this press conference. Professional sports need more like him.
Tony if your reading this then this is what I have to say.... I grew up watching you. I've always been a Cowboys fan and you were the harden soul of the team. From the first pass you threw to the last. You have always been my favorite QB. I cried when I heard of this. And you will always be remembered as the best quarterback in my book and in many other books. I bought jerseys of you and other stuff. I have a football signed by you and another one. You have my respect Tony.
i almost teared up watching this, from his first NFL pass back in 06, MNF againts NY, he took the league by storm overnight, Ive supported him through the good and bad, i envisioned 2014 Romo all over again before he got hurt this yr, Ive even supported him while Dak is on fire, just so much respect right now for the General #9, I want to cry just writing this, never seen any starter make a speach like this, as a Cowboys fan, this really hurts, but I dont believe we have seen the last of Tony #CowboyNation #DC4L
Respect to Tony... will always be my favorite cowboys qb ever
Charles Sims ,Roger Staubach,Troy Aikman ring a bell !
Martinez Roger an opinion ring a bell?
lol hell no
troy, roger, then tony
Sam Ricker ,Even Danny White took the Cowboys to 3 straight NFC championship games !
Wow, i can't lie, i might've gone overboard on my negative opinions on him playing as a starter but i've got mad respect for Tony Romo right now. Now i just hope they can work his contract to free up cap space to get pieces for the D.
I'm a Steelers fan and I was moved to tears after watching this for the first time back in 2016, love Tony Romo and the Cowboys or hate them, this was a really beautiful speech.
This, coming from a huge Giants fan, is why Romo is great. He brought most of us watching to tears, including me. He knows exactly what to do and what to say. Romo, thank you.
class act. you don't get to his level and not want to be out there.
Please watch my videos it means a lot
Romo is as good a QB as the Cowboys Ever had. He lacked the supporting cast most of the years. I saw him do things that I doubt
any other QB could have done. When he failed, it was due primarily because he was trying to do what was nearly impossible.
If he had had the offensive line back 4-5 years ago, there is no telling where he would have taken this team. As is, I'm happy to see
him leave with as much money as he can take with him. Jones owes him!
Sign him as a coach. Seriously though. He'd be a pretty good one.
CowboyswegMM Or like qb coordinator for dallas
Romo is likely to be traded to the Broncos though....
Skyblue5914 That's a mistake by Denver. HUGE mistake. If he gets injured with the best O-line in football, who knows what will happen with, from what I heard, with a mediocre O-line.
Idk. Now for a fact he is a great commentator
Now this is what I needed to hear. No more teasing you on your name. You have earned my respect today. You will have another time in the starting role tony. Young men need to learn. We are a team, there is no I
you sir are correct
I have had. back issues for years and could not imagine doing what this man does day in and day out, I wish you the best , Tony, you will always be a Cowboy no matter the outcome of all this. We are lucky to have you on our team.. Go Cowboys!!!
where's TO when you need him: _"Thats my quarterback, man"_
GZA036- How did you change the font in the "That's my quarterback, man..." part of your comment?...
Tony has been my favorite player since he started....he's always been unfairly criticized and never got enough credit. For most of his career he had an average defense at best and below average of o-line (until recently) and still always gave his team a chance to win. He never cried or complained like a lot of other quarterbacks do he just held his head up and took whatever came his way. He literally gave everything he had to this team. I wish he coulda went out like he deserved but this shows you what kinda man he is that he stood up there and passed his team onto Dak. This had to be so hard but he should have finally earned the respect he always deserved!
I grew up a Cowboys fan my entire life, and never really liked Tony Romo. But now that he's leaving I kind of feel bad.
Ranak Bansal same
Ranak Bansal where is he going I didn't here that#cowboyfolife
Ranak Bansal i always liked tony but dak has to stay in.
keshon79 Yes you're right and I do want Dak to start, I just feel kind of bad for Romo
Ranak Bansal what kind of cowboys fan are yoy
Ever since I saw Dak play i thought, we've been waiting for a guy like this for a while now, and i wanted Dak to remain the starting QB. I thought Romo was an ok QB, great in regular season, not so great in post season. I didn't realize how depressed Tony was after seeing his team that he has led for so long, be overtaken by a rookie QB, This is one of the best speeches I've ever heard, and i can sympathize with him. I genuinely fell really bad for the guy. He has never deserved any unnecessary hate that he's had. Thank you for leading this team. Respect.
+Hunter Feinman right 😂
Aiden The RUclipsr yet you're a Panthers fan
Aiden The RUclipsr 8tds 2 ints in the post season
Hunter Feinman Kid don't assume anything. I have been going to the carolinas for 14 years. I don't really think that's being a bandwagon
N. Willy48 What does that have to do with anything?
I cried hearing this speech. This man played through so much injuries for this. Not a bad situation for the Cowboys, but it's a damn awful situation for Romo. Romo's earned the right to be our quarterback imo. Please let the GOAT return
Ring of honor. If not a gold jacket.
I think deep down I Knew this speech was coming but even deeper down I was dreading it. Tony has been *The* Cowboy and our hero for the last 10 years and every real Cowboys fan on here, you know what I'm talking about. Never thought I'd see this day. Wish there was a say I could tell Tony that we still love him & how grateful we are for every win, every loss..every TD..every thrilling game and most of all- his sacrifice for this team.
Correction: *wish there was a way I could tell.......
Romo is truly a class act. Whatever Dallas achieves this year, they dedicate to him for all the hard years we've been through as fans. God bless you, TR#9! Cowboys rule!
just watching this still brings tears to my eyes.....
he practically gave dak the team
Basically
What do you want him to do??? A fan base is clawing his man to death for even considering wanting to mess up "chemistry." He had no choice.
Orlando chavez should retire he's to fragile to take to many more hits
Dbz dokkan fanatic Dbz lover That is what makes him so great. The fact that he hasn't retired shows that he has the drive that no ordinary man has. That is why he is the Cowboys true Quarterback and he always will be.
Dak took the team lol what yu talking bout
Class Act. We are Denver Broncos fans through and through however my 8 year old has been a huge Romo and Cowboys fan for as long as I can remember. Thank you Tony Romo for being such a great example of a true sportsman and for being an actual role model. In this day and age your actions and words are an inspiration. In your press conference you showed both humility and courage and it was greatly appreciated. I was proud to share this video with my son tonight! Thank you for being such an amazing role model!
That's a man right there.... I wish him nothing but success in the future and will always remember him as a Cowboys great. Tony you are a awesome football player and human being.
Now everyone feels sympathetic for Tony...where were all of you during his other injuries
NYG Kicking Net doing their research
Where we're you before you became an actually meme?
Swag Pack Squad where WERE you in English class?
NYG Kicking Net Where were you when they taught capitalizing the first word of a sentence?
GotStones1 pretty sure the first word was capitalized -- that word being "Swag" so please fall back, professor.
This breaks my heart. At the same time, I hope this shows people that have ever doubted Tony who he really is. He's a team player in every sense and knows the team comes before everything else. I respect him so much and I hope we can get that one Super Bowl just for him. He and Jason Witten are two of the classiest Cowboys to ever play and they deserve to win it together.
damn...Ive always liked Tony. but much respect for him
Class act from a guy who has gotten a raw deal in Dallas. we never could put a team around him until 2014, but it was him who took the blame for every loss despite no defense or no o-line. He just kept working hard and he was so passionate he kept going out there to prove everyone wrong. Thanks Tony for all you sacrificed for my Cowboys.
Now the same is happening to Dak.
@ConwayTwittercowboys fans are just awful towards the qb. The exact same thing is happening to Dak and everyone who hated Romo in the 2010s now acts like they never hated Romo and all the sudden they think he could’ve won us a Super Bowl.
I swear people only think what’s popular.
That's my quarterback!! Teared up watching this..Much respect & love for Romo.
Only true Cowboys fans will know that romo was a great quarterback. His stats don't lie. Sure he's choked, but everyone has bad moments. If he would've gotten that ring in 2014, if the refs would've called that a catch, he would have been a HOF. Don't doubt my boy Romo, because he is underrated as hell
That's a lot of guts and heart right there. Mad respect from a GIANTS fan.
Respect for Tony Romo. Wow, takes courage to say things like this.
Romo you are a class act guy man.. That had to have been hard to get up there and tell the people what you said. I'll always have much respect for you man. GO COWBOYS!!
I've been watching every game for many years..and I emphasize every. This team this year is the best all around since romo has been starting qb. He's always carried everything single handily. He deserves this run more than anything. I love you romo!!
We still love you, Romo!!📣 🏈🏈 Thank you for all of your hard work. Your fans are here for you!!🙌🙌
Can't take away anything from Romo, this moment will elevate him to the next level. Good job Romo!!! The true life long fans still got your back. Keep your head up and keep it movin!!!!
Let's go Romo finish the fight , even if it's for another team.
Lots of respect for Romo coming from a Skins fan incredibly hard to do this. Hope he goes somewhere where he can compete again
A class act! 👏 Tony was a great quarterback who was underrated and should be in the Hall of Fame...
Respect for you Romo, and Cowboys Nation 4 Life
I'm a skins fan and now have nothing but respect for Romo. This was class.
I owe the biggest apology to Tony for all the hate I gave him. He was my favorite QB since 2008 when I first started watching the Cowboys. I remember when he led them to that 11-5 record in 2009 and won that wildcard game against the eagles. I remember when he had his worst playoff game against the vikings. Then the injury in 2010 the sidelined him for most the season. Ever since then it was nothing but criticism as he went 8-8 three times. Then the 2014 season comes along, and he silenced everyone, gets back in the playoffs, and almost makes in the conference championship. Everyone thought we would make it all the way in 2015. But then Romo got hurt again, and we couldn't win without him. I didn't have his back in his bad years, but now with Dak stepping in and Romo passing off the torch all I can think about is how much I'll miss Romo. I wish him the best and hope I can see him play one more season. Romo, You're the man!
Hands down TR nailed it. Best press conference I have ever warched or heard. I continue to watch every so often.
As a Giants fan I never could root for Romo but after seeing this I have a whole new rsspect for him as a man. He showed us alll something here. Good luck to Tony, where ever he goes.
I'm a Giants fan and Romo just earned my respect
Much respect to this guy #HTTR
I support Romo.
Also respect. This man has been my QB for all 9 years I've watched football. I will support this man till the day I die. Along with supporting my team and every aspect of the team.
Coming from a Giants fan, Romo is a class act. I hope he comes to NY and plays for the Jets. This town would love a guy like him.
That was awesome. Romo is a REAL team player. He sees what's happening and does not want anything, not even his own desire to play, to mess it up. Total class act.
I'm surprised Romo didn't break his jaw talking
roccodog Too soon
roccodog Smh
Dude, this isn't the time.
This ain't Geno Smith. This is one of the greatest Cowboys to ever play.
HASHHAHA no -_-
been a Romo fan since day 1 and as much as I like winning it sucks that Romo won't be the one leading us as of right now. this man could've been a hall of fame type qb for us.
It just sucks that he finally had the team he suffered and waited for and to be done in at preseason, to go out that way when you still have alot of gas in the tank. Swallowing ones pride is the hardest thing to do. He knew his time was over. He passed the torch gracefully and with class and allowed dak to become who he is today. Romo deserves to be in the ring of honor and hall of fame
Here in 2021 season, at 3-1 , Romo TY so much for the great run we had and believing in Dak and giving him your blessings- what a class act ...
Let's go get some !
Go Cowboys 2021 !
this took alot of guts...proud of you romo that was the speech of a true leader...the man makes the cowboy the cowboy doesn't make the man...#cowboys...
😢 I cried during this. Through all the love and hate of my team, all the greats that have hung jerseys for this team at the Quarterback Position like: Don, Rodger Staubach, Troy, and Danny. all those guys, especially Troy and Rodger. I was just born when the Cowboys won their last superbowl, I don't have a connection to those guys like I do this man. Tony made me fall in love with the Cowboys. He was a gunslinger, and he deserves a ring, but I don't want him having a ring and it not be with the Silver and Blue...he needs to be a Cowboy for life. And this...this is just class personified. You're not a Cowboys fan if you couldn't stand Tony Romo, You're not a Cowboys fan if you think Tony needs to start over Dak...You're a Cowboys fan if you realize we just need the W's...and this man Tony Romo is letting us keep getting the W's. From Undrafted Rookie Free Agent, to reincarnation of Drew Bledsoe...the man will always be my Quarterback who made me love the game. The ups and downs were fun, the come from behind victories were nerve racking, the thanksgiving games and classy attitude in the locker room will be in my heart. I hope how ever this plays out, Dak and Romo, keep the train rolling. Both Class Acts and I love it.
This still hits me
Yeah Romo is a good dude man, not everyone has the balls (morality) to do what he did in that presser
I knew it was hard, but I respect Tony Romo for this. Dak needs to stay at QB, because Jerry Jones would've found a way to insert Tony in.
Jimmy Butler Lol your right, and that's what we all feared! Dak and Zeke is the next Troy and Emmitt
nikesback yes that's what I'm really scared about, that's why they shouldn't trade romo so quickly and I think that's what jerry is doing
Watching the man that is not only my favorite player of all time, but my role model, being that emotional and loyal towards his team makes me want to cry so bad Jesus this sucks
I like that last part. control the one inside you and the one across from you really won't matter. Romo has always been a good guy.
We need Romo back.
INDO KEREN no we dont. Going to miss him though
Tajh Walker yes we do. dak over threw the receivers 7 different times on Sunday one on a 3rd and 2. dak don't throw the ball down field and when he does he's the 12th worst QB throwing the ball over 20 yards.
Frank Pizano You are NOT a Cowboys fan. You are just a fan of Romo.
+Frank Pizano so I'm guessing you didn't see that perfectly thrown 50 yard bomb to dez?
Frank Pizano stfu you aint a try cowboys fan😂 we are 8-1 and you are bitching?😂 Dak is good and he's the future. of course i want romo back as well but why would you pick negatives when we are winning.
My respect for Romo continues. It now is a different kind of respect. One for the man, not just the ballplayer
Damn it takes a lot of courage to hand off your team like that man. I honestly didn't like tony romo at all but after today my view of him changed man. He got my respect. Takes a man to do that. Hands down to tony🙏🏻 🙌🏼
Cowboys fan here. No matter what happens Tony, you will always be held in high esteem. We thank you for your sacrifice and your effort. We win or we lose as a team.
I will always have respect for #9 Tony Romo. I've watched him play since elementary school and now in college, I will forever have his back and admire the way he sacrificed his body for the team. His legacy is forever embedded in the Dallas Cowboys organization and I can't thank this man enough for all he has done for the team. #9
