While Dallas' 5-0 start this season has been a high point for Romo, the third-year player will likely have his 50-year-old father Ramiro on his mind over the next few weeks.
The Pro Bowl quarterback told the Dallas Morning News before Thursday's practice that his father has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
"He's your dad. You've been so close for so long; it can be a scary thing," the paper quoted Romo as saying. "I look forward to the day where we can spend a lot of time together."
Thursday night two sources close to the QB confirmed to ESPN.com's Matt Mosley that Ramiro Romo was diagnosed with cancer last month. According to the sources, Ramiro will probably undergo surgery later this month. [READ] |
