the blue side and even my three year old daughter yells out, "Cowboys" anytime she sees a football game on television regardless of who the team is. When we got our new quarterback this season I knew we would have a great season ahead, but not everyone agreed. The season started out as usual Romo as quarterback. This has been our quarterback for ten good years and although we only made it to playoffs once this was still my team and Romo my quarterback. The season then took a turn within the…
