Romo's BAC was reportedly 0.15, nearly twice the legal limit

Entitled frat boy attitude we see all too often in the world. "Rules for thee, not for me.". Money ain't the root cause. It's the inner core of a person's character that gets exposed and magnified. I expect his insecurities go way back and the alcohol is a mask. He needs to go talk to families that been utterly destroyed by drunk drivers like him. He needs life lessons before it's too late. Change however must come first from the person or it won't last. He's got kids, maybe that can help him snap out of it.

You know what’s crazy….i just read a Reddit post about Romo’s appearance….350 days ago someone said he looks like he has a drinking problem. A lot of people have been saying it. I just thought maybe plastic surgery but thought that was odd people got that vibe a year ago….

suit yourself. In no universe is alcohol and driving good. No matter the personal reasons. Change comes from within.

calling people you do not know a "Entitled frat boy attitude" ...ETC is what is nonsense. You do not know him. Did you even read the article?

Does this sound entitle or someone that made a mistake? Maybe you are perfect:

“Multiple back surgeries ended my career earlier than I expected and left me with constant, debilitating pain. That pain led to a dependence on pain medication, and my efforts to get off those medications led to an over-reliance on alcohol.

“As I have taught my three young sons: when you fall short, you stand up and take full responsibility. This is an important first step. The harder and more important step is examining the path that brought you here and making the changes necessary to move forward.

“That path requires honesty.

“None of this is an excuse. These are my failures, and I take responsibility for them. - Romo

Hell, it's like anything that's abused or reckless, you have two choices:.......get help and/or treatment or be exposed.

It does kind of sound entitled. Players in the 60s and 70s have all types of issues from brain injuries to bad backs, some can’t walk…some are barely making it and you don’t see them use it as an excuse. So yeah what you quoted does kind of come across as entitled.

Wow. Nobody is perfect, including, me or you. But my take like yours is opinion. Nobody in this mb usually attacks. We debate and share info. In good fun too. No, I don't know him, but that doesn't diminish me or my take. Like it or not. I share my own life experiences concerning this topic on alcohol because my Dad was what you'd call a working alcoholic . He made poor decisions like Tony, drinking and driving but thank God he chose to stop late in his life before he passed from Cancer in 2013. I speak from being alive 57 years and things Ive seen folks do. Tonys lifestyle and poor choices finally caught up to him. This is good. Glad he addressed it. Glad he didn't hurt anyone or worse. I stand by my frat boy comment based on his behavior in the past and the trend. If he wants to change bad enough, HE WILL. Society isn't to blame. The grown man in this case, is. He owned it so this is very encouraging and a good start. I wish him well for his wife and kids sake because living with an alcoholic can be brutal as a child especially., I know, trust me. My Dad loved us dearly, BUT his fathering was lacking alot due to him medicating himself with booze. Its a worse drug than any except for Heroin or Fentanyl. Just my thoughts on this matter and background on how I formed my opinion. I don't just spout off without some reason.

Bingo!!!! ....exactly why I'm getting alcoholic vibes.

Exactly ............ I am guessing this wasn't his first time driving and drinking. He just finally got caught.

BTW... the statement he issued reads like someone trying to save a contract. I'm not feeling him at all; too mechanical, no heart.

For many people...there's really nothing he can say that would help anything.
