Tony Romo, broken pinkie finger and all, has been upgraded from "No Freakin' Way" to "Questionable" for Sunday's game against St. Louis. Apparently playing against the Rams is so much fun, he doesn't want to let anything come between him and a big day.

Also, the Cowboys have been fined for suspending Pacman Jones. Apparently due to a new rule, teams who have more than one player suspended by the league have to pay part of their salary back to the NFL. Pacman is the second Cowboy to get tossed, so Jerry Jones has to write the league a check.

This seems like another weird rule that's only in place because of the Oakland Raiders. You know how until Oakland came along, nobody ever thought to fumble a ball forward at the end of a game to try and keep a play alive, or figured out that if you covered your whole body in Stickum, you could catch the ball by merely touching it? This seems like another one of those experiences where somewhere along the way, an owner decided it would be easier to get his players suspended than to have to pay their salaries.

It might not have been Al Davis, but that certainly seems to be how Al treats his coaches.
