Cause for a pause: Cowboys' Romo's kindness becoming habit

Detroit News wire services

Quarterback Tony Romo hasn't won any Super Bowls, but he has won the hearts of Cowboys fans.

Romo, who earlier in the season pulled over and helped an elderly couple with a flat tire, performed some more humanitarian work this week, treating a homeless man to a movie.

This time a homeless man named Doc was cashing in some change at a move theatre in Dallas when a man approached him and offered to pay his way into the movie, the Dallas Morning News reported.

The man turned out to be Romo. Romo paid the man's admission for the movie "Role Models" and then waved the homeless man over to sit next to him and an unidentified friend. Doc mentioned to Romo that he hadn't showered for a few days.

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

Doc was so overwhelmed by Romo's gesture that the called the newspaper.

"For me, it was a blessing," Doc said. "It came at just the right time. It gave me some encouragement and faith in mankind. I just wanted to say thank you."
