Quotable

"Outside of the Patriots game this weekend, I'm sure this is going to be the next best ticket."

When Tony Romo was announced as Dallas's starting quarterback, he was greeted with a blanket of boos.

One large man donned a blond wig and carried a sign that read "Tony I'm Back!"

Looking for more inspiration behind the team's late-season run? Try the "Star Wars" postcard hanging over Marcus Washington's locker at Redskins Park. "Do or do not; there is no try," the card reads, quoting Yoda of all creatures. "Seems like there's some type of Force that's going on here," Washington joked last week. "The Force is strong with us."
