Forget if Tony Romo will return to football, he may stick with basketball.
Recently retired Dallas Cowboys quarterback will get the ultimate tribute from his hometown Dallas Mavericks by sitting on the bench as an "honorary player" for the last game of the season. Sure. (Maverick "Romo" jerseys sold out in the first quarter.) Was it a clever distraction from a team that was perhaps intentionally losing games, to better their draft picks in the off-season?
Mangini, who coached the New York Jets from 2006-08 and the Cleveland Browns in 2009 and 2010, said Monday on FS1's Undisputed that he thinks there is an 80 percent chance Tony Romo plays in an National Football League game this season.
"I can't get into specifics at this time, but encourage fans to be in their seats when warmups begin at 7:15 p.m.", Carlisle said. "Standing here today, I feel a little embarrassed to be honest in the sense that you're lucky enough to be in position, that someone cares enough to do something to honor you".
Romo then took the microphone and delivered a short speech to the crowd and ended it by saying "thank you, Dallas".
As a gesture to the Dallas athlete who only Dirk Nowitzki outdoes in terms of professional athlete service time in the city, the Mavericks are letting Romo dress for the season's final home game Tuesday night.
Former Maverick Quinn Cook interviewed Romo will the former was still playing college ball at Duke, and they played a friendly game of 1-on-1.
"I forgot already", Nowitzki said, laughing.

Beasley was among several Bucks who were thrilled for the 36-year-old Romo, who hasn't suited up for an organized basketball game since his high school days. I look like a turtle out there next to these guys.
In Butler's time with the Mavericks, he and Romo were able to speak a few times.
The Mavericks' original plan, though, was to have him actually play, according to owner Mark Cuban. "But it's a special group of guys who are talented and the National Basketball Association is a special fraternity". "So we wanted to see if he would be willing to do this and we're happy that he was enthusiastically accepting".
Before his appearance Tuesday night, Romo took part in Mavs practice that afternoon.
"That includes the Finals", Carlisle said.
Romo said he'd received hundreds of messages and phone calls since announcing his retirement and move into the broadcast booth as an announcer for the CBS network.
Mavericks: Finale at Memphis on Wednesday. All of a sudden you would look in the book and he had his 25 points, eight or nine rebounds, seven or eight assists and because he had such great hands he also averaged over five steals his senior here.
