More proof that people will do anything they can to kill this guy.
Everyone in the huddle said Romo said "This is 4th down". This shit came out yesterday. Convenient of you to ignore it.

Tony Romo, through the Cowboys' PR department, delivered an explanation for the KDFW-TV video.
You can go here to read it in it's entirety.
"The marker on the Cowboys side read "3" temporarily. When he saw the "3," he thought there might have been the possibility of an error on the down count. After asking the officials (holding up three fingers), he then saw the down marker move through the progression from 3 to 2 to 1. He told the offense it was fourth down in the huddle prior to the last play."
I believe Romo's explanation.
It sounds plausible and makes sense.
More important, he did what he should have done: Stop the story before it snowballed completely out of control.

Cowboys public relations head Rich Dalrymple sent the following e-mail to explain the confusion resulting from Fox 4 video regarding Tony Romo.
"As Tony was walking off the field after the fourth down play, he saw that the down marker on the Dallas sideline read “3.” As it turned out, the marker was in the process of being changed, sequentially, from the number “4” to the number “1” for the Broncos ensuing possession. The marker on the Cowboys side read “3” temporarily. When he saw the “3,” he thought there might have been the possibility of an error on the down count. After asking the officials (holding up three fingers), he then saw the down marker move through the progression from 3 to 2 to 1.
He told the offense it was fourth down in the huddle prior to the last play."
