FRISCO, Texas -- Tony Romo, wearing a navy blue Dallas Cowboys sweatshirt with a matching baseball cap, somberly eulogized his career with the Cowboys on Tuesday afternoon.
Romo, standing at a lectern, kept the bill of the cap pulled low, so we never really saw the hurt in his eyes. But you could hear the disappointment, maybe frustration, in his voice as he read from a prepared statement.
Romo's career with the Cowboys hasn't seemingly ended because he can't play anymore. That would be sad, but understandable. Every 36-year-old athlete goes through that.
