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?

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
