Dear ESPN:

You guys surely get attached to certain teams and lose all objectivity. For example, the Dallas Cowboys and Tony Romo have been mediocre for several years. The last time the team made the playoffs was 2009, which was also the last time they posted a winning record. They’ve been 6-10, 8-8, 8-8, and 8-8 in the past four years. You still insist on covering them as though they were either your neighborhood team (like the Red Sox and Yankees in baseball) or the defending NFL champs. They’re neither.

ESPN’s Total Quarterback Rating is on a scale of 0-100, with 50 being average. The highest Romo has been rated since 2006 when this calculation was first devised is 71.4 in 2011. He’s a 34-year-old QB with one playoff win in eight seasons as a starter. He’s not a first-rate quarterback.

They are not “America’s Team” anymore, no matter how hard you and Jerry Jones try to tell us so. Jones is an owner, not a professional general manager, and it shows.

If there’s an “America’s Team” these days in the NFL, I suspect it’s the Green Bay Packers.
