D.Hall says he's targeting Romo's ribs

Really? Didn't Hightower say something like he guaranteed a win over the Cards last week and that pissed them off.

Valid point. Of course cause its D Hall it gets played out as a mistake. Im sure if D Hall guarenteed the win people be all over with hatt.

I love this. It's how a rivalry should be.



What I do not hear anyone talking abouyt in the media...what question did the reporter ask? My bet is that they SPECIFICALLY asked about hitting Romo in the ribs and baited this response...but of course, only the response is replayed, never the question.


Regardless, I fully support him. I want our players to be targeting our rival's QB, ESPECIALLY when he's vulnerable.

Jerry Jones (we all know it's his decision here) will be stupid to let Romo even play against Hall, Orakpo, Kerrigan, Fletcher and a returning LaRon Landry!

I almost hope we DO see Romo on Monday night. Of course, that will be the last anyone sees of him for a while after Monday. :)



I also think this again shows evidence that the media, especially ESPN, love to target the Redskins negatively every chance they get. How could I say this, just because they're covering the manufactured "story" with Hall? Well, look what they're NOT covering 24/7...Albert Haynesworth taking plays off in New England. When he was with us, they covered what he was having for breakfast. When he plays for the beloved Patriots...Albert who?

The local Boston media is doing their job on him at least.

Look familiar?

This is something most defensive NFL players do, Hall just spoke up about it.

I agree with the above that JJ should keep Romo out...but he won't since he rarely makes smart long term decisions.

I know you're hung up on this theory that the league has a vested interest in the Cowboys success, but this isn't MLB where the league truly revolves around a few big market teams. Whether Romo plays or not, the league makes money, the league continues to generate ridiculous ratings, and life goes on.

I'll agree with you but I understand what he's trying to say. If the Cowboys were on top of the NFCE we see all the Cowboy highlights and Romo is a god and the team is going to the SB. If the Cowboys are last in their division we see Cowboy highlights and how Romo is a god and how they "will" right the ship.

When the Redskins were last in the NFCE not a word and hardly mentioned unless there was something to show worth laughing at. Now that they are leading the NFCE, the Skins are fake and won't last. Grossman is not a QB. The media makes excuses for two teams we beat outright.

and it's still the Romo show. Our only media coverage is Hall talking about hitting their beloved Romo.

Meh, pretty insignificant in the big picture. And certainly insignificant compared to the Haynesworth saga, or the drama with McNabb.

Namely because Hightowers comment lasted only a few days. The Haynesworth saga lasted 2 seasons and McNabb's drama lasted 1.

Well, perception is your reality I guess.

Well in the past two weeks, including today, Rex, Cooley, and Rak have been guests on ESPN talking about our hot start

No, your wrong there, the media would have him on ever network to talk about how the Skins targeted him and the Cowboys would be pushing for a fine from the league in regards to Halls statement. Then we would see him each week talking about his recovery and what he's doing to try to get back on the field.

Awsome, then I stand corrected. However are you refering to ESPN TV or are you refering to ESPN radio? Cause they are always on the radio. I'll admit if it was TV I missed it.

This d-bag needs to keep his thoughts to himself. Why on earth would you go out of your way to give a team bulletin board material? D-hall should know better.
True, I'd rather Hall just keep his thoughts to himself and just go out an play ball.

By publicly stating his intentions, and considering the NFL's stringent policies on protecting players, Hall has disclosed intent. And he will be watched closely.

I know and understand that targeting an injury is common practice in the NFL, but to go out and publicly state the intention was not the best of decisions.

Now any hit, whether intentional or not that could be called into question will be heavily scrutinized by the officials and the league. And he could be setting himself up for hefty fines or even a suspension.
