If you were (or are) a Cowboys fan, and this was Y2K, now would be the time to start stocking your basement with a year's worth of bottled water and canned goods. It took a little less than two weeks for this brand new car to start leaking oil, blow out tires and have the air conditioning go, and it's getting to the point where the car might not actually start again.With the question marks surrounding this Tony Romo situation, one thing has become even clearer than it had in the past -- "head coach" Wade Phillips has no control. Romo, who was called out by Brett Favre to play despite an injured pinky finger, is now being jabbed by Jerry Jones, and Phillips, shockingly, is standing up for himself. If you've got that "Phillips Gets Fired" pool going, I'd buy a lot of squares for the next two weeks.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on his weekly radio show Friday morning that Romo "looks like he'll be able to play Sunday." Jones said there was no chance that Romo could re-injure the pinkie because of the cast-like protection on his hand.
"It will be up to him. If he is feeling good and the pain is good, then it's likely he'll play," Jones said. "It's down to can he handle the pain?"
When Phillips was asked if he had been told Romo couldn't do further damage to the finger, the coach responded, "Dr. Jerry. Whatever Jerry says, I'm going with."
