Tony Romo had been somewhat of an NFL opening-week quarterbacking exception, enjoying a great Sunday in Cleveland, except, of course, for that bloody chin thing.
The weekend had also gone very well for Bill and Sharon White of Irving, who were returning late in the evening after an out-of-town trip.
The national news was about a day of QB disasters around the league, even at the elite level. Tom Brady, down and out for the season. Peyton Manning, looking feeble and lost. Carson Palmer, his once stellar reputation taking another plunge.
And for pure weirdness, there's Vince Young, a young man in obvious need of either a good shrink or a good butt-kicking.
Meanwhile, even as devout football fans, the Whites had been on the road and out of touch with the NFL events. They particularly didn't want to know the Dallas Cowboys' outcome. The TiVo at home was waiting. Bill planned to watch the Cleveland game immediately, with suspense attached.
But a couple of miles from the house, while driving on MacArthur Boulevard, the Whites had their own mini-disaster. A tire blew on the Mercury. Bill, luckily, managed to nurse his wounded ride off the street and into the lighted parking lot of a strip mall.

The rest of the article is worth reading. How many people would have done the same? I’m really impressed and I’m not easily impressed.
That’s cool. He just went up a notch in my book.
Nice story...makes me feel good.
Way to be a class act Tony!
Go Cowboys! This is our year!
No matter what NFL team you are a fan of, it’s easy to root for Romo.
He just seems like a cool guy, who is appreciative of all he has (probably because it’s still so new).
You know, I get mixed impressions of Tony Romo. You read a story like this and then you hear his girlfriend on national radio saying she likes a man that’s comfortable farting under the sheets and wears a t-shirt saying “real girls eat meat,” which showed up on E-news. I can’t decide whether he’s a gentleman or white trash. Maybe he should date a cheerleader.
Thanks for the visual.
Most guys are a mixture of gentleman and low-brow.
Honey, to be a real gentleman you still have to be a real man. Men aint sissies.
Super story about a great Wisconsin grown kid.
