When you watch Tony Romo’s ‘A Football Life’ by the NFL Network you get a concise, but intimate view of the career that made Romo one of the most decorated, yet heavily debated Dallas Cowboys of all-time.

For 13 years as a Dallas Cowboy, every crucial touchdown overshadowed by every crucial interception, because in Dallas only one thing matters: Super Bowls.

“Everyone wants to be the reason they’re winning or losing,” Tony Romo said in his retirement speech. “Every single one of us wants to be that person, but there are special moments that come from a shared commitment to play a role while doing it together. That’s what you remember, not your stats or your prestige, but your relationships and achievement that you created through a group.”

For Romo, his career will likely will be remembered most for “the catch.” Or the catch that wasn’t, in the ‘Boys 2014 divisional playoff game at Green Bay when he connected with former Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant on 4th-and-2 for 31 yards, setting up what would have been the Cowboys at the one-yard line down five with 4:42 to play.

“That would’ve been the best throw of my career,” Romo says on the documentary. “The biggest play of my career.”

Romo describes.

“It’s like a piece of you just gets ripped apart that day. And that’s what professional sports does. That’s what makes it difficult but also amazing at the same time.”

An undrafted quarterback out of Eastern Illinois, Romo was encouraged to switch positions late in his college career. What you learn about Romo in ‘A Football Life,’ oddly enough is that he basically couldn’t throw a football for much of his career. And not the way we see it, but in his own eyes.

Romo says he couldn’t quite figure the perfect technique until 2013, and by the time his career was on the tail end.

A perfectionist, with a deep love for sports, Romo went from small-town Wisconsin native to the face of the most valued franchise in ‘America’s Team’ for over a decade.

What makes Tony Romo different than any other quarterback is he became so relatable over the course of his career, as a man and as a member of the Dallas Cowboys.

Despite not winning a title, does Romo earn a spot in the Cowboys Ring of Honor for Jerry Jones?

You’ll have to watch to find out.

For fans of Romo and even his biggest critics, this documentary is a must watch.
