Re: Tony Romo

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.

I reread the story myself and you have a point. It doesn't say that Romo actually bought the ticket for the guy. Looks like he just ran over to the consignment shop, asked for the day off, ran back over, bought a ticket and sat with Romo.

Okay, you let a homeless dude sit by you. Let me applaud you for that, but people do that everyday. (i.e. try taking public transportation)

It is kind of funny how he asked for the day off from work so he could go see a movie with Tony Romo.

That IS hilarious! Thanks tony romo for inspiring so much hope in doc (one of the few homeless guys with a job) that he felt it neccessary to take the day off work and spend his time (and money from what I gather) watching a movie with you. Hell you've inspired me to neglect paying income taxes next year so I can afford season tickets!
