Tony Romo Helps Stranded Fans!




When helplessly stranded with a flat tire, one may look at the person who helps them out as a star. And for a lucky Texas couple, that star was Tony Romo!

The Dallas Cowboy quarterback's interstate interception came just in time to help Bill and Sharon White on Sept. 7 in Texas, when Romo arrived to find the couple feverishly attempting to make the repairs themselves, People reports.

"All of a sudden I hear a voice say, 'Do you need help?'" Sharon tells People.

Unbeknownst to them initially, it was Jessica Simpson's famous beau who helped them inflate their tire.

"At that point, I looked at him and thought, 'Dang, he looks familiar,'" Sharon continues. "I go, 'You know what? You look like Tony Romo.' He looked down and just gave me that boyish smile he's got. Then he said, 'That's because I am.'"

"I just screamed as loud as I could," Sharon tells People. "Then I grabbed him and hugged him."

So taken aback by the star encounter, the couple say they forgot to thank Romo for his help.

"I'd thank [Tony] so much for stopping," Sharon says. "I love him to death, he's a great guy. And I hope I didn't bust his eardrum!"
