I Really Can't Wait...

... to see what the Linc crowd comes up with to welcome Tony Romo to Philadelphia next year.
Here's an update on just how peachy he's handling the whole I-couldn't-hang-on-to-the-ball-and-cost-my-team-a-sure-victory thing:
It was Witten who sat next to Romo on the return flight following the Cowboys' 21-20 wild-card playoff loss to Seattle in January...
"It was a four-hour flight home and I didn't know what to say," Witten said Monday. "I just put my arm around him and said, 'It's going to be OK.'"
Very sweet.
Witten remembers Romo saying only one thing the entire flight.
"He leaned over and said, 'I wouldn't have wanted that ball to be in anyone else's hands but mine.'"
Teammates may not agree with you there, Tony.
Romo retired to a leather couch in his apartment and didn't get up for two days. Witten finally coaxed him outside by suggesting they visit right guard Marco Rivera, who was recovering from back surgery at a local hospital.
"I picked him up and we stopped by to eat at Dave and Buster's," Witten said. "I think they showed the highlight of Tony dropping the ball three times before our food was served."
You mean this one?
