QB Tony Romo Takes Homeless Man To Movies

Romo, 'Doc' Reportedly Saw 'Role Models'

Dallas Cowboys quarterback had a special guest at the movies recently -- a homeless man who goes by the nickname "Doc," the Dallas Morning News reported.

According to the newspaper, Romo offered to buy Doc a ticket to the movies when he saw the homeless man cashing in change at a Dallas theater. Doc allegedly initially declined the offer because he was supposed to pass out fliers for a local consignment store, but changed his mind once he recognized Romo.

Doc told the Morning News that he ran across the street and told the consignment store he wouldn't be able to work for them that day and then returned to the theater to see "Role Models" with the quarterback. When Doc entered the theater, Romo allegedly waved the man over to sit with him and his friend.

Doc said he admitted to the quarterback that he hadn’t showered in a few days, but the Cowboys passer allegedly told the man, "Don't worry about that, I'm used to locker rooms," the Morning News reported.

Romo's act was a memorable one for Doc.

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

Romo confirmed the story to the newspaper but did not want to elaborate on his gesture.
