FORT WORTH, Texas -- Players play pranks on each other at every Cowboys Camp. Sometimes we don't always hear about the pranks, but this time we have the inside scoop on one.
NBC 5 sends a still camera to camp every year to capture the events of the day. The best part is when the players sign autographs and take pictures with the fans in the stands -- and in San Antonio there are plenty.
On July 27, NBC 5 captured an innocent photo of Tony Romo signing autographs.
Fans have taken to dangling the items they want signed on strings so that the All-Pro quarterback can more easily reach the items.
Several photographs were taken of the quarterback and his fans -- but it wasn't until much later that the framing of the photo, and the precarious location of another still photographer were brought to light.
The other photographer, going for an artistic shot, was sitting on the ground in front of Romo between the athlete and the wall.

After a few laughs in the media room, a member of the Cowboys staff came in to see the picture then asked for a copy so that they could give Romo some grief.
A copy was made and posted in the veterans' locker room at 5:00 a.m. the following morning.
We checked with the staff member and we were told the veterans all got a good laugh out of it, and apparently some tears were shed.
So after practice Newy Scruggs did what any good reporter would do, he showed Romo the picture and asked him if he saw it.
Newy: "I heard they put that in the locker man."
Romo: "I hadn't seen that"
Newy: "You didn't see that?"
Romo: "No, this is the first time. That's pretty funny though. Some people want to get up close and personal."
And when asked about it, Cowboys safety Roy Williams told Derek Castillo that the photo was priceless.
