Romo can't win, Dario gets lucky and the Redskins name needs to change

From where I sit it looks like the Broncos will just keep on rolling...and Tony Romo still can't get it done...

Barring something staggering Denver will head to 6-0 next weekend against Jacksonville. Following an amazing game against Dallas the Broncos are showing the NFL how good football can look. Denver is a 28-point favourite versus the Jaguars. I have a bit of sympathy for Romo. Apart from poolies there wont be a lot of discussion about his performance. 500 yards (the first in team history). Five touchdowns. And one interception. And there's the constant rub against Romo. He had a great opportunity to, not only give himself a leg-up on Peyton Manning, but win the game. In two plays he lost 6 yards, then lost the ball. It doesn't much matter how many yards he threw for, or how many drives ended in points for the Cowboys, the only determining factor in success is victories. Something sorely missing from Tony Romo's resume.

A couple of quick thoughts here...

It was another scary scene at an Indy Car Race...



Thankfully Dario Franchitti will make a full recovery. It was a scene eerily reminiscent of Dan Wheldon's fatal crash in Las Vegas 2 years ago. Racing is a dangerous game. Thankfully we are a long way removed from the deadly days of the '60s and '70s. But that doesn't preclude the face that these brave men and women travel at literally break neck speed, with little room for error.

The President offered up his 2-cents worth on the moniker of the Washington Redskins...

There is no redeeming quality in that team name. Even the Cleveland Indians try to claim a reason for their name...although the logo is just gross. Chief Wahoo? Time to say goodbye to the Redskins, and the Indians mascot. I got some interesting perspective from this piece. Although, this picture best sums it up...

At least that's how I see it...and I sit in the cheap seats.
