What Happened to All the Tony Romo Haters? Where Did You All Go?

It's funny that I haven't read an article about the resurgence of Brad Johnson's career in 2008. How Brad Johnson comes in for an injured Tony Romo and wins games. After all, it was a countless number of people on this very web site bashing Tony Romo...

There is a God: A Day of Reckoning in Detroit Sports
