Romo says career pain led to alcohol dependence after OWI plea
Former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo revealed that lingering pain from multiple back surgeries contributed to an alcohol dependence, after pleading no contest to operating a vehicle while intoxicated in Wisconsin. He was arrested in Milwaukee during a July traffic stop, had six months of driving privileges revoked and a $748 fine, and CBS suspended him as he focuses on health and family with a possible return to the network in the future.
