2. I said to my wife I can't wait till they lose so Romo would shut up. Both teams stunk though.

That was a tough 2nd half to watch.

4. Romo's voice makes me want to puke.

He sounds like he has a pile of phlegm in his throat. Drink some hot tea or something, dude. I have to turn the volume down or mute it completely while he’s talking. He literally makes me feel like vomiting.

8. Very unprofessional. I wish they'd dump him.

He doesn’t really bring any great analysis to the booth. Every statement he makes is glaringly obvious to even a casual observer of football.

CBS backed up the money truck to make sure Fox and NBC didn’t come after him.

He was pretty openly rooting for the Cowboys.

17. That part is bad enough.

But do you notice that on almost every play he says "here's what I would do", then he flutters like a flag in the wind and describes three different things.

10. Some cowboys fans were crying and saying they were ripped off.

Some complained refs were in their 70s.

They complained about the ref not getting out of the way in the last attempted play. But rules are rules.

11. The same thing happened on their fake punt

As you saw they ended up getting a delay penalty when their master plan was to force SF to take a timeout.

14. They got the first but left the punt team in the field

SF was in disarray but Dallas stalled on running a play then ran the offense back on the field with 15 seconds on the play clock. Then they were in disarray and the Ump was standing beside the center. By the time the Ump moved it was too late. Dallas got flagged.

The ump has to place the ball and that always takes time.

15. K I remember that now. I caught the replay and the explanation

I don't think I ever saw that happened before. Pretty sure coach didn't do that when he coached Packers.

18. Let's flashback to their playoff game with the Lions a few years ago.

If they want to complain about the refs, have I got some footage for them, complete with Dez Bryant openly breaking the rules and coming on the field illegally.
