Who needs tickets?

Tony Romo, star quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, is obviously one hell of a football player. The guy has a precision arm, mobile legs, and unique improvisational skills. He also happens to date Jessica Simpson so is there any knock on this guy? Sure, he’s had a few games with bad decisions that have led to multiple turnovers, but so have all the other football greats.

Basically, the one thing he’s done wrong in his career is botch the snap of a field goal. It just so happens that this field goal was during the final minutes of a playoff game with the Seahawks last year. Granted, that’s been his only playoff experience, where there is sure to be more, but it still bears the question…Is Tony Romo not clutch? Does he remind you of another star athlete?

Alex Rodriguez has never delivered in the playoffs.

Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees epitamizes everything good about baseball right now. He’s not dipped into the steroid controversy, he is the reigning MVP, and he plays for the biggest market in the history of sports. But when it comes down to October, he just can’t seem to make that leap into stardom. He refuses to wait for pitches leading to constant 0-2 and 1-2 counts which force him into a hole. With runners on base his only instinct seems to be to hit the ball out of the park, which has led to a .158 batting average in the playoffs for his career.

Now it is still way to early to tell if Romo will have the same troubles come December as A-Rod typically has, but if last year was any indication, he could be headed down the same slippery slope.
