And the real question is \u2013 and I don\u2019t even have to ask what the answer is: Do you think Tony Romo knows how to get up when he gets knocked down? He had a life of that. And absolutely, that\u2019s one of his greatest attributes, is that he can handle adversity.<\/p>\n<p data-layout-index=\"5\">&#8220;So this is something that he will work though. He is a unique talent. \u2026So, obviously, I\u2019m a big fan of his, big fan of his family, and let me tell you right now, he\u2019s as real as he sounds.
