I live in Richmond, Virginia, what many consider to be the home territory of the Washington Redskins, so I take a lot of flack for being a Dallas Cowboys fan. Why not? They are rivals. But I think it goes beyond that. Did you know that the Dallas Cowboys are the most liked team in the NFL? Did you also know that the Dallas Cowboys are the most hated team in the NFL? Well, this is why I not only love the Dallas Cowboys, but Tony Romo (the QB of America's Team) is starting to become my all-time favorite NFL player. Here is the
link.
You know, it seems like the only stories you read about professional athletes off-field are getting involved in drugs, rape, some other serious crime, or just general bad behavior.
ReplyDeleteWhat an impressive story. My favorite bit was this:
-------------------
Romo, who confirmed the story to the newspaper but didn't want to elaborate, waved Doc over to sit by him and his friend. Doc mentioned that he hadn't showered in a few days.
"Don't worry about that," Romo said. "I'm used to locker rooms."
And so the $67 million quarterback, who made news by changing a couple's tire on a roadside on the way home from a game in September, and the homeless man sat next to each other and shared laughs for 90 minutes or so.
-------------------
I mean, not just giving someone money, but time. I'm sure that made "Doc's" day; it makes my day just reading about it.
I agree with Yakko's assessment. I sent the story to my wife to read on the air this morning.
ReplyDeleteStill hate the team, but the QB gets a big thumbs up.
