Some may wonder why I am plugging a Dallas Cowboy QB of all people on the Oracle of Cheese. They say "Hey, he's a stinking Cowboy! He's one step short of a Bear, Viking or pondscum!" or "He's a one game wonder. He'll never make it as a legit starter in the NFL."
I put him on as I want to point out his bio on the Cowboys website (you'll have to actually click on his name for a pop-up window). Go ahead and open it and read it and come back here, I'll wait.
Ok, are you done reading it now? (and checking out the cheerleading squad) If so, you would have seen that he is from Burlington High School in Burlington, WI (the Demons). Coincidentally, this is my hometown and high school. Not too often does a kid from a town of 10,000 people make it in the NFL, let alone become a starting QB for a high-profile team. Damn proud of this. The Oracle is officially cheering for Tony to make it big in the NFL. He certainly seems to have the tools to be successful. And no, I don't know him as I graduated many years prior to him.
You may now return to the Cowboys site and view the swimsuit calendar, and you're welcome for the link.

As evidenced during MNF, Romo also does a mean (as in ridiculous) impersonation of Brett Favre.
If you noticed during his post-game interviews, he was just wearing a faded white T-shirt. It said BHS football on it. Way to represent, Tony!
Tony has also been added to the Burlington Historical Society website - burlingtonhistory.org
