After the Cowboys beat down during the final game of the year, the cameras caught RG3 grabbing Tony Romo and saying something to him. It was odd because if lasted longer than a casual "good game". So much so that I turned to Mrs. LL and said, "I'd love to know what he just said."
Well, it turns out RG3 was mic'd up for the game for Showtime and the channel aired the footage yesterday.
What did he say? “Hey Tony. I just wanted to say to you, don’t listen to what anybody else is saying about you. You’re a great quarterback, man. And this game doesn’t mean anything. Do you hear me?”
Hey, everyone knows I love RG3, but if I had been Romo I think I'd of gone off on him. "Don't listen to what anybody else is saying?" Heck, the game had just ended. Robert been checking the Internet during the 4th quarter? And what do you mean the game doesn't mean anything? The Redskins were going to the playoffs. The Cowboys were going home.
I think his intentions were good, but that was poorly executed. (You can watch it here.)

RG3 appears to be a good guy. Why do you suppose an "old pro" needs consolation from this rookie?
What will Tony say to RG after he loses to Seattle Sunday?
Hate to disagree...
The game doesn't mean anything. Sure, it means we might have played another week or a couple more. But, professional sports is nothing more than reality TV with the participants having actual and unique skills.
I think RG3's point was that this was simply one game. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter
I dunno...seems like a classy, unscripted comment by a good sport who was just showing some compassion towards an embattled colleague. Wish we saw more of that in all walks of life. Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. Props to RG3.
They weren't just saying it after that one game, they've been saying it for years: Romo needs to go.

Go easy on old RG3...after all he just went to Baylor.
What he actually said was "Dude, you really suck."
What he actually said was "Dude, white chicks are the best!"
"Sit right down in that chair right there and let me show you how it's done."
I think RG3 was refering to the smack being throw at Romo on Facebook.

Just "showmanship" for Showtime.
Nothing more/nothing less!
It was only poorly executed if Romo thought so. Somehow I think Romo got it and appreciated it. Therefore, well executed. Our opinions don't matter.
I think it was classy thing for RGB to do/say. The kid's got character.
what he really really say was "man you looked like a fool with yo ass on the ground"
RG3 is correct football games don't mean anything. How could they actually mean...anything?
Just keep telling yourself I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!

BG, ill say that RG3 didn't have to wait till the 4th quarter of that game to read about Romo comments... People have been describing their ill feelings for Romo for quite sometime.
Poorly executed? C'mon Barry. Romo and RG3 are both class acts and regardless how they play the game, they are both great guys. I think RG3 handled that in a very professional manner and Tony took it in a professional manner as well and said "hey, im proud of you." It couldnt have been handled any better. Regardless of all the Romo haters out there and what people say about him, he is a GREAT QB and there is not a single QB in the NFL that is better who is available who could replace him. Yeah, Tom Brady and Drew Brees and Peyton Manning are all AMAZING, elite quarterbacks and I would rather have them but they will never leave their teams, so we are left with Tony and I am just fine with that. I love Romo and will continue to support him. Yeah, so what, he chokes nasty. And it pisses me off to no end. But i will continue to support him and watch him to continue to succeed in this league and something in me tells me that some day, preferrably sooner rather than later, he will win a super bowl. And i will just sit back and tell all the haters, "I TOLD YOU SO..." #goromo #gocowboys
1. Romo mad a comment after a loss last year about how losing a game wasn't the biggest thin in his life. He took all kinds of heat for that.
2. Anyone notice a quote from Jerry Jones that changes would be made. (Best change would be getting a legitimate GM and him getting away from team operation).
