Romo is nothing like Tebow. Tebow would have held a press conference and done a 30 minute interview on what a great gesture it was and how Tebow himself drastically changed this mans life...
Romo is just a good down to earth guy. He passed up big money last year and didn't even once think about holding out for more money. He was the starting QB for the cowboys making, I think, league minimum. When asked why he didn't demand more...he said, "man, I get paid pretty damn good for playing football. The rest will work itself out". Later that year he was rewarded with a 6 year $66 mil contract.
Romo is still a down to earth guy that is just living every guys dream. He does shit like this because he wants to, not becasue he is going to get any kind of fame from it. The quote "He confirmed the encounter with Doc but wouldn't elaborate." should tell you he did it just to do it...
The dude is a bad ass in my book and if you can't tell, I have a man crush "I want to be this dude for a day" thing for the guy!
