A little information on Tony Romo's Personal life & Football
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 decent.

Romo was born in San Diego, where his father was serving in the military, but his family returned to their home in Burlington, Wisconsin when he was 2 years old. Playing quarterback for the Burlington Demons his junior and senior year of High School, he was unable to lead the team to a winning record, though he did make the All-Racine County football team and was honorable mention all-state in basketball.

A heavy influence on his playing style was Brett Favre. Romo grew up a Packers fan, and during his High School years, Brett was leading Green Bay to a pair of Super Bowl appearances.

He is an avid amateur golfer, and attempted to qualify for the 2004 EDS Byron Nelson Championship and the 2005 U.S. Open, but missed the cut. During the off season, when not training, he is known to play golf around Dallas.

Romo is also a frequent guest on local sports radio programs. Beginning in 2006, he has been the co-host of "Inside The Huddle", a one-hour player commentary show that airs on ESPN Radio on KESN-FM in Dallas along with linebacker Bradie James.

He is beloved by his alma mater, Eastern Illinois University, which has few professional athletes. Mike Shanahan, coach of the Denver Broncos, also played quarterback for Eastern Illinois University. In addition to Shanahan, NFL coaches Sean Payton and Brad Childress have played for the university. While at Eastern Illinois, Romo was a member of Sigma Pi Fraternity.

Romo had been socially associating with country music singer Carrie Underwood. They no longer date, but are still friends. He was seen with actress Sophia Bush. He has now been romantically involved with Jessica Simpson.

In September 2007, Romo's father was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The younger Romo has stated, though while upset about the family crisis, he still must continue to focus on his career

His NFL career
Romo attended the 2003 NFL Combine, but, went undrafted during the 2003 NFL Draft. Throughout the draft, Romo was assured by Sean Payton of the Cowboys' interest (Romo was also intensely pursued by Denver head coach Mike Shanahan), and shortly afterwards was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the Cowboys. Romo entered the 2003 training camp third on the Cowboys' depth chart behind Quincy Carter and Chad Hutchinson. In 2004, the Cowboys released quarterback Chad Hutchinson and signed veteran quarterback Vinny Testaverde and traded a third round draft pick to the Houston Texans for quarterback Drew Henson. Romo faced being cut from the roster until Quincy Carter was released following allegations of substance abuse. After Vinny Testaverde's tenure in Dallas ended in 2005, the Cowboys signed veteran quarterback Drew Bledsoe, the eighth starting quarterback for the Cowboys since 2000.

One of Romo's early career highlights was in 2004, when (as the 3rd string QB) he rushed for the winning TD with 6 seconds left in an exhibition contest against the Oakland Raiders. Elevated to the Cowboys' #2 quarterback in 2005, Romo had strong showings in the 2005 and 2006 pre-seasons. In the 2006 off-season, the New Orleans Saints offered a third round draft pick for Romo, but Jerry Jones refused, asking for no less than a second round draft pick. Romo eventually took over the starting quarterback role from Drew Bledsoe during half time against the New York Giants on October 23.

His 2006 season
Romo began the season as a backup to starter Drew Bledsoe. Romo first saw the field on October 1st. 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.

Three weeks later on October 23, 2006, Romo replaced Drew Bledsoe for the start of the second half. His first pass was tipped and intercepted. His game stats in only his second NFL appearance were: 14 completions on 25 attempts for 227 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions. Two days later, on October 25, Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells announced that Romo would be the Cowboys starting quarterback for the October 29 game against the Carolina Panthers on NBC Sunday Night Football, in Week 8 of the 2006 season. Romo led the Cowboys to victory in his first game as a starter, 35-14. In that game, Romo was Sunday Night Football's "Rock Star of the Game."

On November 19, 2006 Romo led the Cowboys past the Indianapolis Colts, the NFL's last unbeaten team. Romo completed 19 of 23 passes as the Cowboys topped the Colts 21-14. Four days later, Romo helped the Cowboys win in a Thanksgiving Day NFL game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by the score of 38-10. Romo went 22-29 with 306 yards and five touchdown passes without an interception, becoming the highest rated quarterback in the league. He tied a franchise record for touchdown passes in a game set by several others, most recently Troy Aikman. For his performance, he was awarded FOX's Galloping Gobbler award as the Thanksgiving Day MVP.

Romo aided the Cowboys in clinching a playoff berth, the second since Bill Parcells became coach in 2003. He concluded the 2006 regular season with 220 completions on 337 pass attempts for 2,903 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions, with a passer rating of 95.1.

On January 6th 2007, the Dallas Cowboys traveled to Qwest Field to play the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC wild card playoff round. With the Cowboys down 21-20 and 1:19 left on the clock, Dallas attempted a 19-yard field goal. Romo botched the hold for the kicker by dropping the snap as he attempted to set it down. Romo then tried to run into the end zone for an impromptu touchdown, but was tackled at the one yard line by Seattle defensive back Jordan Babineaux, and then fumbled the ball. Seattle took over on their own one yard line. It is unusual for a starting quarterback to be the team's holder. The role usually goes to the backup quarterback or the punter. Romo had the job because he had begun the season as the backup quarterback. Romo finished the 2006 season ranked seventh in the NFC in passing yards (2,903) and touchdown passes (19).

Romo played in the 2007 Pro Bowl after Drew Brees went down with an elbow injury and Marc Bulger was taken out. Romo threw one touchdown and one interception. Romo was the NFC's holder in the game.

Some of his 2007 season
Romo began the 2007 season with four touchdown passes and an additional touchdown rush, defeating the New York Giants 45-35 in the Cowboys' first game of the regular season, His 345 passing yards in Week 1 led the NFL. In Week 2 Romo threw for 186 yards and 2 touchdowns beating the Dolphins in Miami, ranking him 7th in passing yards and tied for 2nd with 6 touchdown passes.Romo added 329 passing yards and 2 touchdown passes in the Cowboys Week 3 34-10 win in Chicago. The following week, he passed for 339 yards and 3 touchdowns in a 35-7 win over the St. Louis Rams. He also ran for an additional touchdown. This brings his season totals to 1199 passing yards with 11 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. In week 5 of the season on Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills, Tony Romo threw 5 interceptions (4 in the first half, 2 of which were returned for touchdowns), and lost a fumble. He is the second person in the history of Monday Night Football to throw 5 interceptions in a winning effort. The first person was his QB coach Wade Wilson. Nonetheless, through his first 11 games of the season Tony Romo has thrown for 3043 yards with 29 touchdown passes, second only to Tom Brady,with a 105.3 passer rating and with only 13 interceptions despite the Buffalo game. In the six games since the Buffalo game Romo has thrown 5 interceptions to 16 touchdowns.

On October 29, Romo reached an agreement to a six-year, $67.5 million contract extension with the Cowboys. The extension will bring Romo to eleven total seasons as a Dallas Cowboy.

On Thanksgiving Day (November 22), Romo threw two touchdowns bringing his season total to 29 with five games left in the regular season. This tied Danny White's record of 29 touchdowns in a season for a Cowboys quarterback.

A Division playoff game on January 13, 2008 against the New York Giants, Romo was unable to lead his team to a come-from-behind victory, thanks in large part to a number of penalties and dropped passes by his teammates, Cowboys were eliminated from the playoffs with a 21-17 loss. Some people saw the pics of Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson in Mexico and blame the lost on him.
