How 'Bout Them Cowboys?

The NFL trade deadline is just 45 minutes away, and, yes, most of the time, the blockbuster deals usually involve special teams players and future draft picks and kicking tees, but this one could be somewhat intriguing.

According to some media sources, Romo had a conversation with one veteran quarterback after he broke his pinkie, seeking sage advice from this grizzled gunslinger about what to do. And, what do you think this man known for his career-long durability had to say to Romo? So, don't be surprised if Romo finds a special pinkie sling and toughs it out if he isn't in jeopardy of permanently mangling his throwing hand digit. Besides, his team needs him to be that guy right now. We'll find out soon enough...
