The Real Story: Tony Romo has "INDIGESTION." Ribs and Lungs are fine.

The NFL Analysts are just praising Tony Romo for how brave he is. Heck, some redskins fans are "giving him credit." Over my dead body. If Tony Romo plays on Monday night then we know, for a fact, that his injuries were extremely exaggerated. Is it possible he had a punctured lung and played anyway. According to Mike Golic this morning, the Xray machine they have at stadiums cannot show a punctured lung. So if Tony Romo went out there with a punctured lung then it would have only been by a misdiagnosis from inadequate equipment. No way he gets medical clearance to possibly play with a life threatening injury. So I give Tony Romo credit for playing with an injury he did not know he had. Cracked ribs, a little different, but nothing a shot of the good stuff that makes you feel that you do not have an injury can take care off.

So you see even if Romo had those two injuries, he still played because he could not feel the pain or see the hole in his lung.

My feeling, knowing that Tony Romo is the ultimate wimp and CHOKER, EVER, is that he had a bad case of INDIGESTION. He ate something before the game and then he had to leave. The Cowboys, trying to protect their Star Choker, just said "Yea, Cracked a Rib." Romo went back to the locker room, had a nice bathroom break and took a few TUMS and he was good to go.

Now he is America's New Hero. Super Tony. Able to beat Indigestion, but not able to hold down a field goal attempt or process that he should not throw to Darrell Revis with the game on the line. Please get well soon Tony, so you can provide us Redskins fans with more memorable playoff moments that we keep replaying over and over and over again. It's a gift that keeps on giving.

sorry dude,interesting theory but

How is pneumothorax diagnosed?

Examination of the chest with a stethoscope reveals decreased or absent breath sounds over the affected lung. The diagnosis is confirmed by chest x-ray.

although

the fact that he returned to play in the 4th does lend some credence to your theory.
Having had a chest tube, I can safely say that it was the worst pain i have ever felt. The tube hitting the wall of my chest cavity was excruciating.

I would guess that Tony and the doctors thought it was mainly a bruise

and maybe a tiny crack in the rib – so he could wrap it well and go play.
The next day, tests showed the real injuries. Those could still be less threatening than the words sound – it could be a matter of degree, really pretty minor – or it could be serious. The doctors will decide. I don’t think there is or was any bad faith involved. Tony Romo is a good QB and a good guy – I hope he’s OK (but I sort of hope he is very cautious with his injury).

Da loudmout

What ticks me off da most bout dis whole ding is Angela Hall sayin hez gonna go for Romos ribs. Dis iz great locker room fodder for da Boyz.

Evertime someone sez dis and dat about laying someone out, it usually ends up bad — for da loudmout!

I remember Fred the Hamer Spearchucka Willms yakkin like hez gonna lay out Dowler an Dale in SB 1. Summabich. He ends up takin a nee to da puss an dey ar carrin him off da field. LOL

Like Lombardee sed when askd how KC compared wid de udder teems in de NFL. He ansered “Dey don’t”.

My advise to Angela is dat iff he wants sum ribs he can get dem at da Captol Q. Dat iz if da Boyz havn’t shut hiz mout for good. LOL
