That was our first reaction. (Picture the incredulity on the face of the announcer in the Karate Kid when he’s about to hand the trophy to Johnny, but instead says, “Daniel LaRusso’s gonna fight?”) After getting some sage advice from Brett Favre, Romo told ESPN’s Matt Mosley that he threw well at session Wednesday and thinks he can start Sunday against the Rams. Cowboys’ coach Wade Phillips seemed blindsided by questions about this throwing session, which says enough on its own that we don’t have to make a snide remark.

Rough week for QBs – Carson Palmer’s out a few more weeks (though Chad Johnson thinks he should just bag the season) and Eli Manning’s chest got bruised by the Browns defense.
