Tony Romo: Worried about the Weather?

It's kinda funny. So many people want to talk about the weather in Pittsburgh this Sunday when the Dallas Cowboys and Tony Romo roll into Heinz field to take on the Steelers.

It's like the Cowboys and Romo have never played in cold weather before.

Are people forgetting that Dallas does play in the NFC East? Is everyone forgetting that Dallas has to play in New York, Philly, and Washington every year? How about Dallas also going to Green Bay each of the last two years. Doesn't that count for anything?

I know, I know, it's the field that everyone is worried about. And this is an argument I can agree with.

The field is horrible and the Rooney's should be ashamed.

How the entire Steelers organization can let the nation watch the slop-fest between the Dolphins and Steelers last year and not improve the field is beyond me.

But speaking of the field last year, the Steelers didn't exactly excel on that field. In fact, they barely beat the soon to be 1-15 Dolphins 3-0. Excel is about the last word I'd use to describe the Steelers play.

So why would anyone bring-up the weather or the field?

Let's face it: This game will be won on the field not because of the field or because of the weather. It's just that simple.

It would be a shame for the field to be a mess because there are so many awesome match-ups in this game - the biggest one being Tony Romo versus the Pittsburgh defense. A bad field may make all the match-ups boring. That would be a shame.

Let's not forget too that Tony Romo played in Wisconsin in high school and at Eastern Illinois in college. I'm pretty sure both of those places saw their share of bad weather. Yet, Romo still managed to be the Player of the Year for his conference three straight years and he also won the ultimate award for Sub-Division players - the Walter Payton Award.

So, trust me when I say, Romo and the Cowboys don't need to be too worried about the weather or the field this Sunday.

However, they do need to worry about the Steelers. But we'll get to that next time.
