Romo to the rescue: Cowboys QB stops to fix flat

IRVING, Texas: Tony Romo: NFL star, playboy quarterback and, apparently, a Good Samaritan handy with an air compressor.

A couple says Romo helped them patch a flat tire on the side of a busy street last weekend after the Dallas Cowboys star returned home from a season-opening win over the Cleveland Browns.

Bill and Sharon White told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that at least 100 drivers ignored their broken-down Mercury before someone stopped late Sunday. Sharon White said a well-dressed man “with something strange on his chin” walked up and offered a hand.

Romo needed 13 stitches after his chin was split open in the 28-10 win over the Browns. He bent down and helped the Whites get their faulty air compressor to fill up the tire.

Sharon White said she asked twice before Romo confirmed her suspicions about the do-gooder’s identity.

“I did something no 50-year-old woman should be doing, but I screamed real loud, and then jumped up and hugged him,” Sharon White told the newspaper in Thursday’s editions.

Bill White had a different reaction.

“Don’t tell me how you guys did,” he said he told Romo. “I’m going home to watch it.”

Teacher OK after crashing into bear on a bicycle

MISSOULA, Mont. – A middle school teacher suffered some bruising and a big scratch on his back after he struck a bear while riding his bicycle to school.

Jim Litz said he was traveling about 25 mph Monday morning when he came upon a rise and spotted a black bear about 10 feet in front of him. He didn’t have time to stop and T-boned the bruin.

He tumbled over the handlebars, his helmet hit the bear’s back and the two went cartwheeling down the road.

The bear rolled over Litz’s head, cracking his helmet, and scratched his back before scampering up a hill above the road.

Litz’s wife drove by shortly after the crash and took her husband to the hospital. He hoped to be able to return to teaching science at Target Range Middle School on Friday.
