Tony Romo is officially letting all the broadcasting praise get to his head. Through the first five weeks of the season, he’s been like Detlef Schrempf in NBA Jam–hot as a pistol. The can’t miss kid. Pulling up at half court on a breakaway and hitting nothing by nylon. From predicting plays based on formations to turning full fanboy  during the two-minute drill, Romo has been a welcomed wrinkle in the NFL landscape.

In last night’s Eagles-Panthers Thursday night game, Romo decided to test his luck with a comedy bit involving Eagles’ long snapper Rick Lovato. It went over like a fart in an elevator.

Rick Lovato, Demi Lovato. Same last name. A+ joke opportunity.

Hey Tony. I got one for ya…

How do you plan a space party?

….

You planet.

You can use that one, Tony.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
