KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -Todd Haley was an early and unabashed admirer of Tony Romo, the quarterback his victory-starved Kansas City Chiefs will try to beat Sunday. When Haley was receivers coach for the Dallas Cowboys in 2004-05 and Romo was a relatively unknown young player trying to find his way, the two formed a friendship that also seemed to fuel one another's competitive spirit. ``He was the epitome of a gym rat,'' said Haley. ``You couldn't get him out of the building.''

IRVING, Texas (AP) -Tony Romo says he knows it's not always ``lollipops and chocolates and fun times'' for the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. He says he's unaffected by talk that he's gone from an undisciplined turnover machine to a conservative handoff fiend. Or talk that he didn't know it was fourth down before the final end zone incompletion in Sunday's 17-10 loss at Denver. Or Tom Brady second-guessing his frequent throws in the direction of Pro Bowl Denver cornerback Champ Bailey in last weeke |

Even when he was there, he was a fan of Texas and the Dallas Cowboys, not Colorado and the Denver Broncos. A high school All-American, he didn't even bother to visit the home-state school. ``I wanted to leave Colorado as quick as I could,'' Houston said. ``It's not a place for a teenager or young adult.

The Chiefs will play the third of four straight meetings with the NFC East this Sunday at home versus the Dallas Cowboys, followed by a trip to the nation's capital against the Washington Redskins.

IRVING, Texas (AP) -Tony Romo really can count to four, at least the Dallas Cowboys say so. A video shot on Sunday by KDFW shows Romo holding up three fingers following a fourth-down incompletion that sealed Dallas' loss to Denver on Sunday. It is an indication he thought there was another down left. The tape shows Romo appearing to tell his offensive linemen to get ready for another play, then signaling to refs that the last play was third down. He is told it was fourth and then he swears.
