Tony Romo, his father, fatherhood and Father's Day

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo's father, Ramiro Romo, Jr., always made the effort to support his son's dreams in sports. Now his son, whose grandfather immigrated from Mexico, is an NFL veteran.

In the past two seasons, Tony Romo has played a total of 19 games, hampered last season by breaking his collarbone twice. Dallas has struggled in his absence, failing to make the playoffs in 2015. After offseason surgery for Romo, and with the drafting of running back Ezekiel Elliott, who is projected to be an immediate starter, the Cowboys hope to put all the pieces together for a postseason run.
