Do you not see the problem with offering this as your take? "Neither one could win it all -- until one did"?

That statement carries zero insight. It's not analysis--it's not even an opinion. It's tautology, true by definition. It's the equivalent of saying, "It'll never rain again until it rains." Neat.

This has nothing to do with being a homer. I'm not a huge Romo fan, although I do think he's better than any feasible alternative. I'm taking issue with this construct you've built where you essentially say, "It'll never happen....but maybe possibly I'll be wrong and it will someday." You can't have it both ways. If you really believe it'll never happen (rather than simply being unlikely to happen, which I'd agree with), you don't get an out.
