For all of the drama, his tabloid relationship and failures in the postseason, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is proving he's a down-to-earth guy with a heart.
Romo first grabbed headlines this year for changing a couple's tire on a roadside as he headed home the night of the season opener. Today, Tony's back in the headlines.
According to a "Dallas Morning News" article, Romo not only shelled $6.70 for homeless man to enjoy a movie, but the $67 million man sat next to this complete stranger sharing a funny film for 90 minutes.
"For me, it was a blessing," Doc said. "It came at just the right time. It gave me some encouragement and faith in mankind."
How cool is that?
Romo's goodwill goes beyond helping his Cowboys tarnished image. In an age of "me first" athletes this act of kindness makes you feel better about all professional athletes.
I'm sure for every story like this that gets reported, dozens of other go unreported. But major props to Tony Romo and other athletes that show heart off the field.

It's a nice story, but where's the Tim Tebow love? (Just keeping you honest here...)
