Dallas hasnt ruled out the star quarterback for Sunday nights game against Philadelphia, but all signs point to Romos back injury pushing Kyle Orton into the starting role after two years of limited play as the backup. Surely Ortons name isnt the first that comes to mind for fans wanting a change after years of damaging interceptions, fumbles or, most infamously, the field goal flub when Romo dropped the snap on a kick that could have won his first playoff game in 2006.

Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. ST. LOUIS -- A group seeking to build a new soccer stadium in St. Louis postponed its Tuesday meeting with a state finance board, one day after Missouris governor-elect expressed strong opposition to public financing for the project.Principles of the group SC STL were to meet with the Missouri Development Finance Board over a request to approve $40 million in state tax credits for the proposed $200 million downtown stadium, the centerpiece of the effort to attract a Major League Soccer expansion team.The postponement followed a statement released by Republican Gov.-elect Eric Greitens on Monday in which he called public funding for the stadium nothing more than welfare for millionaires.SC STL chairman Paul Edgerley said the group hopes to meet with Greitens to fully understand his position and outline the projects benefits.While we were disappointed in the statement yesterday by Governor-Elect Greitens, we respect that he and others may differ from our views, Edgerley said in a statement.

Elect Greitens, who campaigned on a pro-business platform, will welcome the opportunity to learn more about the upside of the project for the state and city alike, Edgerley said.Plans for the downtown stadium were announced in November. The MLS has expressed interest in St. Louis as a potential expansion site, but only if a stadium is built.---AP reporter David A. Lieb in Jefferson City, Missouri, contributed to this report. ' ' '
