Jessica Simpson must have been busy on Wednesday afternoon. Instead of heading to the movies with his significant other, current Dallas Cowboys quarterback - and former Eastern star - Tony Romo treated a homeless man in Dallas to a free showing of "Role Models." The homeless man, known as Doc, informed Romo he hadn't showered in a few days, but Romo said he was OK with that since he was used to locker rooms.

But that's not it. Here are three other random acts of kindness from Romo.

1. Pep Rally

Romo was busy this week. Not only did he have time for a movie with his new friend, but he also showed up at Dallas' Lake Highlands High School on Tuesday. Also there was actor Will Smith, who was in the area to promote his latest movie.

2. Flat Tire

Romo was busy on Sept. 7. Not only did he lead the Cowboys to a 28-10 victory against the Cleveland Browns, but on his way home, he stopped and changed a flat tire for some unsuspecting Texans.

3. Donation

Romo's kind acts are not just limited to Texas. He signed a new five-year, $67.5 million deal with Cowboys in late 2007. Soon after he donated $100,000 to Eastern. Three-fourths of the donation went to the athletic department and the rest went to the communications studies department.
