People can call Romo's signature pitch a sweeper now if they choose, but when he threw it in his career and won a World Series for the Giants with it, it was a slider.  Nobody ever called it a sweeper then.  Changing the name base on a slight, unclear difference in angle seems a little silly to me.  I'm with Melvin, slider worked just fine then and works just as well now.  
Cheers,
Pete F.
