Dirk’s Advice for Romo

From today’s Dallas Morning News:

If Dirk Nowitzki could impart one piece of advice to Tony Romo, he would tell the Cowboys’ quarterback to get over it.

Dwelling on the negative for too long can be unhealthy for anybody, Nowitzki said Wednesday. He and the Mavericks went through it last spring when they were upset in the first round of the playoffs. A week later, Nowitzki collected the MVP trophy in an uncomfortable ceremony.

“Everybody deals with stuff differently,” Nowitzki said. “I just had to get away [to Australia] and get my mind away from basketball.

“I’m sure he’s going through some tough times. But at some point, you got to get over it and look forward. He’s still young and has a great career ahead of him. You can’t just always look at the negative.”

The Mavericks found out Wednesday how the Cowboys’ season can impact them. They were greeted on a light practice day by probably the biggest media throng of the season for any practice.

“I’ve been here 10 years, and everybody lives and dies with the Cowboys,” Nowitzki said. “It was bad for the city, but things happen. We experienced it last year in the first round.”

    LOL dude really got players trying to pump him up and uplift him. LOL.

    T.O. was the funniest though. The crying, and ashy lips and stammering with the shades on saying…”That’s my quarterback”. HILARIOUS.

    I bet Donovan McNabb was somewhere going…”Now ain’t that some @#%#t!” LOL.

    Tony HOMO and the CowGIRLS always get too much attention. And getting advice from Dirk?

    Here’s some advice….Homo should take his frustration out on his chick. Bend that little blonde shorty overbackwards and BLAZE IT! Skeet all over her grill….

    lol

    Why not find someone who came up short a lot, then finally succeeded, like Elway? Or, you know, someone that plays the same sport and isn’t soft as a grape. Asking Dirk how to overcome adversity is like asking Jim Kelly how to win a SuperBowl.

    LOL Celts

    That was good!

    Like Dirk got the secret ingredients to success and all lol.

    Jim Kelly….Hilarious.

    Celtsfan–

    Right on and too damn funny!!

  9. GEE ...connect 3 champion in '86 says:

    K-Diz you know they all had each other on speed dial when they saw that ish. LOL

    Owens reminds me of DMX and I heard this from a comic but it’s true. DMX can rap about mudering somebody one minute and then the next track he is like “Let us pray”. LOLLLL
    Owens the same way, clowning one minute and ashy lip crying the next.

    I think dudes is bi-polar these days for real!

    getting advice from dirk is like getting directions from a guy with one tooth. its like ok, what the hell is a guy with one tooth gonna tell you? “mhhhhm, i love sugar”. you gotta find the one guy with one leg, cus chances are that motherfucker knows the shortest way anywhere.

    ahahahaha i love it, the MAVERICKS trying to give the COWBOYS advice.first it was Mark, now Dirk. ummm, Tony, dont take advice from a choking faggot who scores 8 points in an elimination team. the Cowboys lost to a competitive team, the Mavs lost to the 8 seed. thats your difference for you right there. Tony’s got a bright future. dirk, on the other hand, should quit basketball and go hiking more.

  11. dagwaller says:

    Reading posts by Dank is like laughing at a joke by a retard – you laugh, but it’s not for the same reason the retard thinks you are.

  12. dank says:

    you laugh at retards? what a horrible person

  13. NB says:

    Wow, dank, you are an idiot. Too caught up in a numbers game. Anyone who watched that Dal-GS series knows the Warriors were competitive as hell. Just because they were an 8 seed doesn’t mean they sucked. That only happens in the East. The West is extremely competitive. And the comparison only comes because both Dallas teams were #1 seeds and lost in the first round. I think you need to get of Dirk’s nuts.

  14. Dank says:

    no no, you guys are the ones that need to get off Dirk’s nuts. I’m simply stating the fact that there is a difference between choking (Dirk and the mavs…twice) and losing a well-fought out game (Romo and the Cowboys)

    the day Dirk gives back the undeserved MVP he got, the day the Mavericks win a championship. the day HE ACTUALLY DOES SOMETHING, thats when I will stop bagging on his ass. Until then, everyone that argues for Dirk is wrong, and I’m right.

  15. dagwaller says:

    Dank will also, from now on, “bag the ass” of the rest of the Mavs (for choking), and every other team (and their star) that has ever choked. He’s also going to “bag the ass” of every player that won an MVP award that he disagreed with. Watch out, world.
