Met Tony Romo in Orlando FL Last Night!

[JBS]

Did you ask any football related questions? Regarding TO perhaps?

 

[unionjack8]

i dont care if he's a genuine guy. I want him to buck his ideas and stop throwing the ball up for grabs, stop fumbling when he's on the run and take control of this Offence.

I'll see if I can transfer the pics from my phone. I have a Samsung Instinct that I do not know how to really use...

the photos I do have are super dark due to the lighting, and I did not want to keep bothering him after he was kind enough to suggest we take a photo in the first place.

The easiest way is to email them to yourself from your phone, then upload em. Cool story. What drink did they pour ya?

This is a nice story, Romo seems like a great guy..


I have a question...

Since Werder was proven right, how do you feel about being an *** that day?

 

[DaBoys4Life]

Should of asked him about TO

I'm a bit dyslexic...I read this as "I met Tony Orlando in Rome"...

Imagine my disappointment when I read the story.

Great story. Well done. Thanks for posting it here.

How was he an *** when Ed Werder is definitley an idiot hack who had an agenda against TO because of the "next question" stuff? We still don't know if it was all true or not, so Werder hasn't been proven right or wrong. All we know is the organization decided that it was too much of a distraction, whether true or not. Multiple players have said that TO is a good teammate. Just because TO is no longer on the team does not mean that Werder is not an unprofessional rumor-spreading hack with an agenda against TO and a desire to shed a negative light on all things Dallas. Didn't you see him grinning from ear to ear when TO got cut? That was personal joy that had nothing to do with journalistic integrity.

Personal Agenda + Player Hatred = Hack Journalism.

Great story. Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes when I'm all alone, in the middle of the night, in the dark, I find myself























wishing I was you! You're the man!

Excellent post! Couldn't agree more.:clap2:

Back to the topic of this thread: Chris, that is awesome. I saw Romo once, but didn't get to meet him because he was being mobbed by autograph seekers at the time, but he seemed like a down-to-earth guy who tries to give as much of his time to fans as he can. Changing tires for senior citizens, taking homeless people to movies and sharing his drink with a fan (and remembering your name). Tony Romo is the kind of man I want quarterbacking my team. I can't wait for him to have the ultimate success on the field.

Last night, I was fortunate enough to meet Tony Romo here in Orlando.

He and I ran in to each other at the VIP Section in our version of "upscale club" called the Blue Martini (I am not sure why he is here, maybe Jessica is performing at the local Strawberry festival down the road...they tend to grab a series of country singers throughout the week)...

Anyhow, let me say this:

Above I mentioned "fortunate," and I mean that. I was sending a messagee through one of his friends saying to please tell him I appreciate his effort with our club. Immediately Tony stood up, and he and his friend waved me in to the VIP area (where God knows I don't belong) past all security present...security was not exactly pleased...

I introduced myself saying "My name is Chris, and I was the guy on that silly youtube clip yelling at Werder.." He immediately began laughing, and said, "THAT was YOU?!?...THAT WAS AWESOME...YOU ARE A TRUE FAN!!! THANK YOU BROTHER!!!" I was shocked!

I asked him if I could buy him a shot, and before I could even get that out of my mouth he asked if we wanted a picture, and if I wanted a drink. Of course I wasn't gonna pass that up, and HE poured me a drink not even asking the VIP waitress if she would do so for me! THIS GUY IS WORTH 67 MILLION AND TREATED ME LIKE I WAS ONE OF HIS CREW...

We spoke for 5 minutes, and then I said, "I appreciate it again, pleasure meeting you, and I don't want to bother you anymore." He replied, "No bother, pleasure meeting you Chris, are you sure you have to leave, and we will have an awesome team this year...you watch!"

I then saw him as he left 2 hours later, he came over and said "nice meeting you again Chris, take care" and exited.

I will tell you this...I have NEVER met a friendlier, classier, and nicer professional athlete in my life. I have coached many athletes in the high school and college levels who have played professionally, but was never as impressed with a complete stranger as I was with Tony.

He is genuine, and had absolutely NO reason to include me in anything, but did. Even though I came across as a bit "crazy" in some of those videos, he appreciated our passion, and our support....Tony it is I who appreciate YOU...

We are fortunate (even despite many negative things we write) to have this man running our team...

Thanks for reading,

Chris

hey, at least it wasn't the Blue Oyster Bar

 

[CrazyCowboy]

That was AWESOME!

He is the real deal.......Go Cowboys!

 

[DallasDomination]

Clip to the Youtube video?

Thanks for reading,

Chris

No. Thank you for sharing. That's a nice story. It gives me hope that Tony can step his game up.

 

[bigE79]
