Romo Makes Video
Dallas, TX – Meet Tony Romo, jokester.
The Dallas Cowboys quarterback is starring in an online video spoof, endorsing a few toungue-in-cheek items.
The video, provided Thursday to The Associated Press by funnyordie.com, opens with Romo alone on a football field, in a shirt and a cap with the logo of one of his real sponsors, Starter. He says you might not have realized he endorses some “50,000” products – including gasoline that tastes like chocolate and vice versa.
The 29-year-old Romo also pokes fun at the tabloids that have covered his love life, including his relationship with singer Jessica Simpson.
Funnyordie.com spokeswoman Carolyn Prousky says the video was shot last month and that Romo received no fee. Starter spokeswoman Maria Dolgetta says the sportswear maker sponsored the video.
