Tony Romo pulled a Steph Curry.

Much like the NBA Finals MVP did a few weeks ago with his daughter Riley joining him in the post-game press conference, Romo’s annual presser at Burlington High School was joined by family.

During the second question of an entertaining 20-minute session with media and fans, Romo’s 3-year-old son Hawkins pretended nobody was looking and ran up to dad at the white picnic table where he was sitting.

Romo took the surprise in stride and had Hawkins sit on his lap for the remaining 18 minutes. Tony’s wife Candace brought the couple’s other son, Rivers, to the table to sit on Romo’s other leg.

“Thanks for coming, everybody,” Hawkins shouted.

Right on cue, Tony got the belly laughs started early.

“One of them smells like they need changing,” the Dallas Cowboys star quarterback and 1998 Burlington High School grad said.

A packed room of roughly 30 media, coaches, family and fans erupted in laughter, and the jovial Tony, fresh off a 12-4 season and deep playoff run, was in rare form.

Here’s the Q & A, complete with Romo’s thoughts on the media, his Country Music Awards near-miss and how the Cowboys have treated rumors about Dez Bryant and former star DeMarco Murray.

I would love to have a beer or three with Romo.

I would love to have a beer or three with Romo.

You and me both brother

 

[Staubacher]

I would love to have a beer or three with Romo.

And a round of golf haha

 

[Fletch]

No thanks. It'd be sweet to shoot up with him. Kidding.

Tony is just a real dude. That's our QB!

Kind of a random thought, but I hope Tony sticks around the organization whenever he's finished his playing career. I think it would be awesome to have him around as a QB coach or offensive assistant or something like that. I think he'd make a good coach.

This is why I'm such a fan. It's one thing to be a great athlete, it's another to be a great person.

Agreed 1000%

We really are lucky to have a guy like Romo leading us right now. It is so damn cool that we can think of him as basically a "normal" dude. Aside from his football abilities of course, I feel like I relate to him a lot. I don't think I can say that about a lot of famous athletes, I feel like I might be intimidated or feel awkward around them, but not with Romo.

I'm going to try to really appreciate these remaining years that we'll have him, because I suspect that one day in the future we'll look back on this period as the time when Tony was at his peak. We may or may not ever win a Super Bowl while he's still on the team, but it's still a fun ride regardless.

Just noticed that I gave you your first like. Here's another.

He's an awesome dude. Also thought it was really cool he was born 6 days after me.

Thanks man.

 

[Nav22]

Only took the guy one sentence before making a dumb mistake. Curry wasn't Finals MVP, Andre Iguodala was.

 

[Seven]

This is why the no catch hurts so much. He's taken flak for every miniscule, conjured up flaw and then the dude blows all of that crap out of the water and does exactly the thing he's been criticized of never doing.......AGAIN
Then to steal that on a bull **** call.......? Screw you and the high horse you rode in on.

You keep on keepin on Tony Romo...

Apologize for the rant.

He'll go into broadcasting or be an analyst of some kind.

 

[Bungarian]

This

 

[AsthmaField]

He'll go into broadcasting or be an analyst of some kind.

You're probably right, and I think Romo would be very good at that too.

However, he has said on more than one occasion that he sees himself coaching, so he could go that route and then eventually end up in the broadcast booth.

He'll be on TV for sure. He's a natural in front of the camera.
