Actually, I don’t. Could you restate?

And send me your Whataburger receipt this week.
I don't think he deserves the HOF, at all. He is a middle of the road QB, IMO.

We will go to Whataburger tonight. I will save the receipt.

Give Romo Eli's post season success and that's a HOFer. Give Eli Romo's regular season success and he deserves it to.
If Romo's last name were Manning there's no doubt in my mind there would be more talk about him being a potential HOF candidate.

Is Jerry waiting for Witten to retire so he can simultaneously indict Romo and Witten into the ROH? Or is Jerruh not putting in Romo at all?

Both guys should get in. I think both will.

If Edgerin fucking James is a HOFer, they’ll
let anyone up in that bitch.
Apparently anyone other than Drew Pearson.

Eli is a big mouth breathing dummy, but he will get in.

Romo's lack of post season success will keep him out. It's a shame too because he was really good. If he had won a Super Bowl we may be talking about him being the greatest Cowboys quarterback, but he didn't and we won't.

Indict or induct.

When you think about it, what does the "fame" mean in the Hall of Fame? That a player was famous? Or a truly superb, stand-out performer whose accomplishments stood head and shoulders above his contemporaries over an extended period? That would narrow the number of nominees considerably. But it wouldn't suit the NFL's never-ending quest for bigger and better promotional spectacles.

I don't give a flying fuck.

I struggle big time with Romo. I can't bring myself to care enough to mount an argument.

That’s probably true.

Nothing like the subject of Tony Romo's merits or lack thereof to get a thread going ad nauseum.
He was a Cowboys Quarterback same as Roger Staubach, Danny White, Troy Aikman, Craig Morton, Don Meredith, and so on. Why not talk about him?

I see this question pop up and I think "Huh?? Based on what??"
Why put a QB in the Hall who couldn't lift his team to at least a NFCC slugout or two or three against great QB's and teams? Regular season stats don't mean squat, IMO.
Induct a QB who has two or three wildcard wins? Really?

He didn't start until Year 4 and missed huge stretches of three seasons (two broken clavicles and the back injury). That hardly screams "HOF."
