Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, for some reason, still claims he and singer Carrie Underwood are just friends. I dunno, guys, do you really hold hands with women you're just friends with? The Star-Telegram explores their relationship:
On Tuesday, Romo escorted Underwood to the Country Music Awards in Las V egas.One thing I can say for sure: Romo is lucky Bill Parcells isn't his coach anymore. Tuna was famous for needling his players about their personal lives, and he would have had a field day with this.
"I was just supporting Carrie," Romo said. "We are good friends. We get to see each other go through different things in life. It was neat to go there and listen to some good music and get away for the night."
Romo, who was back for the Cowboys' annual golf tournament Wednesday, said one of the highlights was meeting George Strait for the first time.
The moment all his teammates wanted to talk about was Underwood giving Romo her purse when she accepted an award.
"You have to help out when you can," Romo said with a smile.

No worries guys, I'm sure Romo will blow it. My guess is he'll fumble the purse, go for the score and get shut down.

Doesn't Romo have off season work to be doing rather than going to awards ceremonies and trying to make the US Open?

you people are really more ignorant than I imagined. Who cares if Romo has a "friend". Obviously you all dont know what it is like to be liked.

Who cares if they're a couple or not?? It's refreshing that a NFL player is in the news for something other than a drug arrest, domestic violence, or a strip club shooting.

Did anyone care who either went to the Prom with? If they would like to "Date" let them. What sucks is the gossips never allow anyone to have a life.
As for fumbling, how many of you could be out there? When was the last time you were outside for more then 15 min, not infront of a computer? If you want to know I was out fishing the weekend NOT IN FRONT OF A COMPUTER OR TV!
Remember what we were taught when we were you, "If you can not say something nice KEEP YOUR BIG MOUTH SHUT!!!

Apparently, you were in front of a computer long enough to gripe about this thread. If you don't like what is being said, just tune out.

Why do so many people want to hurt Carrie? She is like a breath of fresh air. She keeps her act clean and lives by the standards she received in her home. No doing anything wrong on Carrie's part. So you gossip mongers go pick on someone else and leave Carries alone.
