IRVING, Texas - Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo’s father has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
“You just love your dad, you want him to be all right,” Romo said Friday. “It’s just part of getting older, and it happens to a lot of people. So, it’s just another step in the path of life.”
Ramiro Romo, 50, found out he had cancer just days after he and his wife were at Soldier Field in Chicago on Sept. 23 watching their son throw for 329 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-10 victory over the Bears. They will be at Texas Stadium on Sunday when the Cowboys play the New England Patriots in a much-hyped matchup of 5-0 teams.

Winning is its own reward. It is also its own punishment.
For a prime example of that, look no further than the New England Patriots.
Seven years of sustained excellence has won them three Super Bowls. But in the process, it’s turned them into the NFL’s big, mean football machine, the team everybody roots against.

IRVING, Texas - Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips insisted Friday that he never said that New England’s three Super Bowl championships were tainted.
Two days before the already much-hyped matchup of 5-0 teams, when the Patriots play in Dallas, Phillips denied making such comments after New England coach Bill Belichick was fined $500,000 and the team lost a draft pick for videotaping an opposing sideline this season.
“I think it’s ludicrous to demean a team, an organization that has done a great job and won all those games, and deserved every bit of it,” Phillips said. “They won all those championships. They deserve every bit of what they got.”
