http://blogs.nfl.com/2008/11/20/at-the-movies-with-tony-romo-and-a-homeless-man/ 


How did Dallas quarterback Tony Romo spend his free time this week? He went to the movies. But his date was not Jessica Simpson. It was a homeless man. According to the Dallas Morning News, Romo paid for a homeless man to see Role Models, and then sat with him through the movie.

The homeless man, who gave his name only as Doc, was cashing in change at a Dallas movie theater when Romo walked up to the counter and bought Doc a ticket. Romo then invited Doc to sit with him and a friend inside the theater. (When Doc warned Romo that he hadnt showered in a few days, the QB replied, Dont worry about that, Im used to the locker room.)

Meanwhile, Romos nice gesture is good publicity for the movie, which stars Paul Rudd, noted Kansas City Chiefs fan and a one-time member of the NFL Total Access Hollywood Fantasy League. When he was told about this story, Rudd replied:

You know whats funny? While we were shooting it, I thought, Homeless people will love this movie.

And when it was pointed out to Rudd that Doc never actually gave the movie a thumbs-up, he added, Youre right, he didnt say he liked it. Actually, he was probably (upset) Romo didnt opt for Quantum of Solace

Those Wisconsin roots are shining through again down there in Dallas..

My wife is from the Dallas area.. spent a good share of time there.. one thing I can tell you.. is simple little acts like this catch people off guard there, they aren't used to people doing something nice out of the blue..

Nice job Tony.

I may make fum fo him when it comes to football, but in his personal life he shown himself to be fine, caring person. A class act.

When it comes down to it, that is more important than football.




By the way....... is he still nailin' Jessica? ::razz:

Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
