What Is Next For Tony Romo?
Denver Post

After being with the Dallas Cowboys for 14 years, quarterback Tony Romo has become a free agent as he was released on Thursday.

Romo joined the 2003 NFL Draft but was never picked. As a free agent, he went on to become a Cowboy. It wasn't until 2006 when he had to replace Drew Bledsoe to make his first snap against the New York Giants. Since then, Romo was the trusted man to lead the team. Throughout his career he has taken hits and sacks but was able to come out with a total of 248 touchdowns along with over 31,000 yards. Romo has only appeared in the playoffs four times and had only one victory.

In the 2016 pre-season, Romo suffered a dislocated collarbone, which would sit him down on the bench throughout the regular season. With Dak Prescott's impressive performance during the season, Romo made an announcement to the press that he was handing the torch down to Prescott. With Prescott as quarterback and his outstanding running back, Ezekiel Elliot, the Cowboys went on to the playoffs with a hopeful Super Bowl appearance, but weren't able to take down Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

With Romo released, teams now have eyes on him. The teams that are looking at him the most are the Denver Broncos and the Houston Texans.

After Peyton Manning's retirement, the Broncos weren't able to earn a playoff spot as they had Trevor Siemian who only started his career last season. The Broncos ended the season with a record of 9-7.

Texan's quarterback, Brock Osweiler, on the other hand, was able to defeat the Oakland Raiders in the Wild Card but wasn't able to get through the Super Bowl champs, New England Patriots. Before the season, both Osweiler and Siemian signed a four deal.

With these teams looking at Romo, it will probably be a good spot for him since he is not meant to be a backup quarterback. According to a source from Fox Sports, they are trying to have Romo become an NFL analyst since John Lynch went on to become the new San Francisco 49ers general manager. With a vacant seat in Fox Sports, where will Romo be going?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
