Under fire:
Tony Romo was criticized on social media Sunday after seemingly defending Aaron Rodgers over the fallout from his vaccine status during CBS’ broadcast of the Green Bay Packers-Seattle Seahawks game.
The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback applauded Rodgers for taking “responsibility” over “misleading” fans about his vaccine status when he told reporters in August that he had been “immunized” against COVID-19.
Gisele Comment:
“A date with Gisele. A date with Gisele and I’m in,” Romo says, pretending to be the fan. “OK, Tom will do it. One time, you got it,” Romo continues, now voicing the Bucs official.
Romo’s joke caused uproar on social media, where viewers slammed the commentator for suggesting that Gisele was an object that Brady would willingly trade for a football.
Where does live now:
Early years. Romo was born in San Diego, California to Ramiro Romo Jr. and Joan Jakubowski. Romo is a “Navy brat,” as he was born while his father was stationed at the San Diego U.S. Naval Base.
