Report: Romo took a homeless man to the movies

Big D's QB is a do-gooder... again

by The Wiz

Yes, you read the headline correctly.

Tony Romo, the Dallas Cowboys' star quarterback, is usually linked to Jessica Simpson when he goes out on the town. But recently, he had a different companion.

According to the Dallas Morning News, Romo bought a ticket for a local homeless man in Dallas who was cashing in change at the movie theater.

The homeless man, known as "Doc," first declined because he had planned to make some money passing out fliers. But when he realized it was Romo who had offered, he changed his mind and headed in.

Doc got to the theater late, but Romo waved him over to sit by him and his friend. Doc said he mentioned that he hadn't showered in a few days.

"Don't worry about that," Romo said. "I'm used to locker rooms."

It wasn't Romo's first kind gesture to a stranger this season. Back in September, Romo pulled over to change a couple's tire on a roadside on the way home from a game.
