Early word is that Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo fractured his left, non-throwing collarbone today. If this is indeed the case, I have plenty to say about it. I don’t want to say that quarterback non-throwing collarbone fractures are my favorite NFL injury, but yeah… they kind of are. I know that sounds weird, but this is the injury… Read More »
