Romo Helps Texas Couple Fix Flat Tire
The Associated Press.
IRVING, Texas -- Tony Romo: Pro Bowler, playboy quarterback, and apparently a Good Samaritan handy with an air compressor.
A couple said Romo helped them patch a flat tire on the side of a busy street last weekend after the Dallas Cowboys star returned home from a season-opening win at Cleveland.
Bill and Sharon White said at least 100 drivers ignored their broken-down Mercury before someone stopped late Sunday. Sharon White said a well-dressed man "with something strange on his chin" walked up and offered a hand.
Romo needed 13 stitches for a chin laceration after the 28-10 win over the Browns. He bent down and helped the Whites get their faulty air compressor to fill up the tire.
Sharon White said she asked twice before Romo confirmed her suspicions about the do-gooder's identity. White told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that she "did something no 50-year-old woman should be doing, but I screamed real loud and then jumped up and hugged him."
Her husband reacted differently, telling Romo: "Don't tell me how you guys did. I'm going home to watch it."
