About Tony Romo
In 1998, he was selected to play for the All-Racine County (Wisconsin) team alongside Caron Butler. As a result of Romo’s game-to-game averages of 24.3 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 4.7 assists, several mid-major basketball schools in the NCAA, including Wisconsin-Green Bay, expressed interest in recruiting him.
After graduating from Burlington High School in 1998, Romo established himself as the all-time leader in scoring for the Burlington High School varsity basketball team with 1,080 points. Ramiro Romo Jr. and Joan Jakubowski were Romo’s parents when he was born in San Diego, California.
The fact that Romo was born while his father was serving at the United States Naval Base in San Diego gives him the distinction of being a “Navy brat,” After some time, Ramiro and Joan Romo moved back to their hometown of Burlington, Wisconsin, where Ramiro found work as a carpenter and construction worker, while Joan Romo found work as a cashier in a grocery store. When Romo was a kid, he was a big baseball fan and even made the All-Star team for his local Little League.
After starting his career as a backup quarterback with the Cowboys, Romo went on to become the team’s primary starting quarterback from 2006 through 2015. During his time with the Cowboys, the team made four postseason appearances under his leadership, and he was honored with Pro Bowl selections in each of those postseason runs.
After suffering a back injury during the preseason of the 2016 season, which ultimately led to him losing his starting position to the backup quarterback Dak Prescott, Romo decided to retire at the end of that year. After his retirement, CBS Sports recruited him to become the primary color analyst for its coverage of the National Football League (NFL).
When Romo was a junior at Burlington High School, the Demons selected him to start at quarterback for the team. Despite the fact that Romo and the Demons concluded the 1997 season with a record of 3–6, he was named to the All-Racine County football team as well as the first team of the All-State squad by the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association. In addition, Romo participated in the sports of golf and tennis while attending Burlington High School. He also started for the varsity basketball team.
In November of 2007, Romo started a relationship with Jessica Simpson, an American singer and actress. Simpson was in attendance at Texas Stadium on December 16, 2007, for a game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys were defeated by the Eagles, and Romo had a poor performance in the game.
The Cowboys team records that Tony Romo currently holds include the most games with at least 300 passing yards, the most games with three or more touchdown passes, and the most passing touchdowns. Between the years 2006 and 2013, no other quarterback in the NFL had a higher passer rating than he did in the fourth quarter of games.
Despite this, Romo’s reputation suffered as a result of his poor performance in the postseason: he won only two of the six playoff games he participated in, and his team was never able to advance past the divisional round. His pass rating of 97.1 is the highest among retired players who were never invited to play in the Super Bowl.
Candice Crawford, a former journalist for Dallas television station KDAF and the sister of actor Chace Crawford, wed Romo on May 28, 2011. Candice Crawford had previously held the title of Miss Missouri USA in 2008.
They started dating over the summer of 2009, and on December 16, 2010, they announced their engagement. The pair has been together for a long time and has been blessed with three sons: Hawkins Crawford Romo, Rivers Romo and Jones McCoy Romo.
Since 2004, Romo had been running a kids football camp during the summer months in Burlington, Wisconsin. In 2013, the camp was still going strong. Romo was involved in community service projects in the Dallas region through partnerships with organizations such as the United Way, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
On April 4, 2017, Romo made the announcement that he would no longer be playing in the NFL. Following the announcement of his retirement, the Cowboys complied with his request and let him go from the team. Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, made the announcement shortly after Romo announced his retirement that he will serve as a “Maverick for a day” at the Mavericks’ final home game of the 2016–17 season. He participated in pregame stretching with the team and sat on the bench in full uniform, but he did not play in the game and was not regarded an official member of the roster at any point.
