Tony Romo’s botched play (he dropped the ball on a chip-shot field goal to lose a playoff game last night) was one of the most painful plays in pro sports memory. After a great season turning around “America’s Team,” Romo has a good career ahead of him, but this will be hard to overcome. Cowboys fans are very demanding. It was sad watching Romo sitting in utter desolation on the goal line. Don’t tell Tony football is only a game. For him, it’s life. Let’s hope someone comes alongside the guy to encourage him. He needs it.
