You were robbed rypper11! I'll do my best to get your story out, I promise.

Nice story, but like Matty says it's not an uncommon story. I think we can cut D'Boyz a little slack though. He's not like those weak Cowboys fans who only show up when it's convenient to them and run and hide when the Cowboys lose to the Redskins...Bunker Jane, I'm looking in your direction.

I have no problem with that D-boys is relatively stand up.
Perhaps....D does not get that Romo the Homo is a.....how to be tactful.....
IS A F.... COWBOY!!! and therefore, tainted....FOREVER
And as you point out, these stories are part of of life and to be rewarded or recognized for things you should do anyway.....is silly. I do however give him props for the movie thing with the street guy. that one's past me.

I remember last year this time + 7 days, it was Dallas Cowboy fans (not Giants, certainly not Philly) who were the FIRST to step on Warpath to offer their sympathies and condolences after the death of Sean Taylor. They posted his picture on their fan website. It's the class of this rivalry, so for that, I say let 'em post an article once in awhile about their team. Puh-leeze, we'd all be warm & fuzzy too if Chris Cooley helped an old lady cross the street. Fans get off on stuff like this.

Alright, kumbayah moment over...check out this archive. Hang on at least 'til 3 min, 40 secs. It's what I want for Romo (sorry old poor man at the movies), what I hope for our pass rush, how loud we fans need to be!)

yea, everyone take a step back. we actually would be impressed if a skins player did this. would i post it on a cowboys site? depends how drunk i was. lol but it's not the most retarded thing i've ever seen either.

my sentiment exactly (see my post above about the old lady and chris cooley who by the way does nice stuff, too.)

Great point. . . but Romo still sucks!

[TheMalcolmConnection]

It's nice he did that, but I think stuff like that is why he always acts so f*cking smug on and off the field. Nice gesture, but I still hate him too.

[Monkeydad]

I'd bet we can find a TON more stories about Redskins players doing great/nice/respectable things off the field than Dallas players with criminal records as long as Snyder's bank statements.

Do we go to a Cowboys fan site and post them up? No. Why? That would be stupid to do.

The other things that makes Romo truly great; this is the second story that has came out of romo this year and on both ocassions he did this things without reporting it to the media or anything it's just the way he is I'm sure there are more but those stories are the ones that the persons being help by him have reported.

Nice post. I don't have a problem with it. It's better than talking about Pac Man and his drama. How many of us would get out of a car and change a strangers tire or let a homeless man hang with you at a movie theater. Romo seems like the kind of guy I'd want my daughter to date.

This is what I'm saying, it's just nice that there's people still with values and doing the extra stuff.... I know it's a rival site and all that but with so many bad news from diva players and selfish players I thought it would be nice to read about the selfless ones.

I'm not sure why a homeless dude was trying to go see a movie, though. I took my kids to see a movie a couple weeks ago. $10 popcorns and $7 sodas turned it into a $100 affair pretty quickly.

If I can't afford it as a family with 4 sources of income, how the hell does a homeless guy justify it? Dude you need a home. Stop spending your money on movies! That's why you're homeless!

The story says he was cashing in change. So I don't know if that means he really wasn't going to the movie, but he was just turning in coins for some bills. Not sure if this is the case, just how I interpreted the story. And not sure if Romo then bought him a ticket for later since it says he took a rain check or if the homeless guy actually paid to get in once he realized it was Romo. None of this was very clear to me. I mean the guy could have bought his own ticket to go see Romo and Romo really didn't do anything for him.
