Romo is a Cowboy because of JJ

[LA_Mustang]

Gordo was just on The Ticket talking about his night at a party that was also attended by JJ and he said that JJ told Cowboys scouts at a golf event in Hawaii to bring in Romo for a workout, so they did and the rest is history.

It was interesting how they were saying that JJ knows everyone in the football world, and that he is a fascinating guy....his legend continues to grow.

[ponyscott]

JJ also once casually mentioned to the Democratic Party about some guy in Illinois to look at as a Presidential candidate, and the rest is history.....JJ quite simply IS 'The Most Interesting Man in The World'...

- His mustache alone has experienced more than a lesser mans body.


- His blood smells like cologne.

- He has amassed an amazingly large DVD collection, and has never once alphabetized it.

- If he were to mail a letter without postage, it would still get there.

- The pheromones he secretes effect people miles away… in a slight, but measurable way.

- He once punched a magician. That’s right, you heard me.

- His hands feel like rich, brown swede.

- He lived in the hills of the Serengeti for a summer after being gifted a wife by a local tribes men.

- He owns 4 sports cars, and rents 5.

- He taught Peruna to read his e-mail for him.

- He almost broke the land speed record in 1977, popular opinion among his team was that is mustache caused to much wind resistance. He would have shaved it… No, no he wouldn’t have.

- He was the featured man at a bachelorette auction he brought in over 13 million euro, under the table.

- His personality is so magnetic, he is unable to carry credit cards.

- Even his Fellow coaches in C-USA list him as their emergency contact.

- He never say’s anything taste like chicken… Not even chicken.

- He speeks fluent French, in Russian.

- His charm is so contagious, vaccines we’re created for it.

- Years ago, he created a city out of blocks. Today over 600,000 people live and work there.


- He is the only person to ever ace a Rorschach Test.

- Every time he goes for a swim in Hawaii. Dolphins appear.

- Alien abductors have asked him, to probe them.

- If he we’re to give you directions… You would never get lost. And you’d arive at least 5 minutes early.

- His legend precedes him, the way lightning precedes thunder.

- His reputation is expanding, faster then the universe.

- He once had an akward moment, just to see how it feels.

- He lives vicariously through himself.

I heard JJ was at a SAG convention once and told an old, out of work actor that the next time he was in east Germany, "I'd tell the guy from the Soviet Union that he needs to tear down that wall, to be quite honest with you"

I have a ton of faith in June's eye for talent....but to suggest he was the only reason Romo is in Dallas is sorta silly.

Eastern Illinois alum and then-Cowboy coordinator Sean Payton has stated a couple times that his network included plenty of Eastern Illinois eyes that had urged him to keep an eye on Romo for a couple seasons.

I know Romo played against Hawaii at some point, so I see that June may have suggested him. June also told Wade Phillips this year that Scandrick was the better corner than Jenkins.

Houston Fans have had a running June Jones Mythology thread going on since the day he was hired-pretty damn funny.

would it kill you to post a link?

well you have to register for that site before you can view it and it really has been going off and on for 2 years so I'm not sure I could find it. But its a running-gag. The name of the site is CoogFun.com.

I read in the DMN this morning that Casey Keenum has pulled out of the draft and will stay at Houston next year, which is NOT good news to us, but when we beat Houston that thread will stop being so funny to Cougar High....

ponyscott, I loved your profile on JJ. Many years ago there was a viral posting of an admissions application to NYU by a Mr. Hugh Gallagher - I'm sure if you google his name and "college application" you will locate the application. The application contained elements similar to your epistle on JJ and concluded by stating, "but I have never been to college." He was admitted and the rest is history. Good work

Thanks..I took the liberty of re-writing a few for JJ (forgot that JJ has shaved his mustache now)but those quotes are on line.
I did go look up that essay by Hugh and that is absolutely the greatest! I totally laughed out loud, that is so good. He eventually went to NYU, but Gallagher won a contest in High School for that essay...thanks for pointing it out.

June is a strange bird if you ask me. But as long as he fly's straight to a bowl game next year I don't care what they write on the bath room walls about him.

He know's football.

I agree that JJ is well connected in NFL circles.

Also believe he is a real straight-shooter with his players.

Wonder what he has told Shawnbrey in terms of $$$ expecations should he declare.

From what I have read, will he even be drafted?

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat 400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby [deleted], and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

But I have not yet gone to college.

That is so good and written in 1998 as well, by a high school student at that....
