A real "Role Model"

There are now two reasons I cheer for Tony Romo.

1. His college football coach was Bob Spoo, and that's just flat out one of the coolest names out there. Bob Spoo:


2. This story, which reports how Tony paid for the movie ticket of a homeless man to see the show "Role Models" and even invited the smelly guy to sit next to him and his buddy. The article also mentions an incident earlier this year where Romo stopped to help a couple change a tire on his way home from a game. How cool would that be?

These two reasons are enough to out-weigh my only reason to cheer against him - he plays for the stupid Dallas Cowboys.

It's so rare that you see a world-class athlete who also happens to be really classy. I'm convinced Tony is a genuinely nice guy and it would be nice to see him win a Super Bowl. Besides, you still have to sort of feel bad for him about this:
