Roundup: No Surgery for Tony Romo, Lane Johnson's Wet Pants, and the Odds Are in Our Favor
Romo no surgery
According to Pro Football Talk, Tony Romo will not have surgery on his fractured clavicle, and he’ll miss around 8 weeks. With the Cowboys having a bye week during that stretch, Romo is set to return with six or seven games left in the season.
Odds
With their QB and star wide receiver now out for a majority of the season, the Cowboys’ odds to win the division certainly haven’t increased. And with the Giants and Redskins basically existing, the Eagles, incredibly, remain favorites [editor’s note: Vegas always knows]:
Pee
All eyes were on the offensive line yesterday, and they earned the glare. Lane Johnson knows why:
“It felt like everything was going wrong. When it rains it pours. I felt like we had a great week of practice. Just got out there and pissed on our leg — I don’t know what to tell you.”

The Eagles offensive line has been a highly-hyped mess through two games. It’s been quite the opposite in our national’s capital. The Washington Post has already issued an apology of sorts, noting that though they mocked the o-line in the preseason, the unit has actually played quite well so far. Here are some of their accomplishments, as pointed out by the Post:
“Helped Washington rack up consecutive 150-yard rushing games to open a season for just the third time since 1950.
Helped Washington hold the ball for at least 37 minutes in consecutive games for the first time since 1992 — which is generally considered the last season of the Hogs.
Allowed a total of three sacks in the team’s first two games. Against two of the NFL’s most imposing defensive lines. While starting a rookie and a barely-used second-year player.”
Bizarro NFL.
Puck
Taking it off of the gridiron, Steve Mason’s new mask turns Flyers legends and teammates into The Eagles The Walking Dead.
Hey, it’s almost hockey season.
