As I said yesterday, I would give you a more in depth look on our poll players of the week. And for once, I am going to keep my word to you.
I could go on and on about Antonio "Tony" Ramiro Romo's football career, and how he was the first player in Eastern Illinois and Ohio Valley Conference history to win the Walter Payton Award. I could also tell you that his first NFL pass was a 33 yard completion to Sam Hurd vs. the Houston Texans on the same day. During the same game, Romo threw his first NFL touchdown pass to Terrell Owens. And you probably already know that On November 29, 2007 against the Green Bay Packers, in a game between 10-1 teams, Romo threw four touchdown passes (bringing his season total to 33), breaking Danny White's (29) record from 1983.
Or On December 22 against the Carolina Panthers, Romo became the first Cowboy quarterback to pass for more than 4,000 yards in a season. And finally on December 30 against the Washington Redskins, Romo broke the all-time completions record within the franchise with his 335th completion, a short pass to Jason Witten. The Cowboys finished the season with a 13-3 record. Yes, I could tell you all of these facts, but you probably already knew about those.
What I'm sure all of you intelligent and sports loving readers want to know about Antonio is what's going on in his personal life. Well, I think I can answer your questions.
Hobbies:
He's an avid golfer. He attempted to qualify for the 2004 EDS Byron Nelson Championship and the 2005 U.S. Open, but failed.
Romo is also a frequent guest on local sports radio programs. Since 2006, he has been the co-host of "Inside The Huddle", a one-hour player commentary show that aired on local talk radio in Dallas along with linebacker Bradie James. Romo signed on for his second season as the show's co-host and will be joined regularly by Cowboys wide receiver Sam Hurd. The show is broadcast on the KLLI radio station in Dallas.
Love life:
In November 2007, Romo began dating (wannabe) singer and (wannabe) actress Jessica Simpson.

On December 16, 2007, Yoko attended the Cowboys-Eagles game at Texas Stadium, in which Romo played like poop pie and the Cowboys lost to the Eagles.
Heritage:
Romo is a third-generation Mexican American on his father's side. His grandfather, Ramiro Romo Sr., emigrated from Múzquiz, Coahuila, Mexico to San Antonio, Texas as an adolescent. The elder Romo cites Tony's success as an example of the possibilities afforded to immigrants in the United States: "I've always said this is a country of opportunities. If you don't get a job or an education, it's because you don't want to." Romo's mother is of Polish-German descent. Sexy he's a Mexipolan.
