Report: Tony Romo to be 'Maverick for a day'

Tony Romo will suit up for a Dallas sports team possibly for one final time -- except it's not the Cowboys.

The Dallas Mavericks will make the retired Cowboys quarterback "a Maverick for the day" by having him on the team's bench and in uniform for their home finale on Tuesday against the Nuggets, per ESPN NBA reporter Marc Stein.

Romo announced his retirement from the NFL this past Tuesday, and CBS announced shortly after that the network hired the gunslinger to be the lead game broadcast analyst beside Jim Nantz.

Back when he attended Burlington High School in Wisconsin, Romo starred on the varsity basketball team as well as being the school's starting quarterback. In fact, his former high school basketball coach told USA Today in 2015 that Romo was more talented then on the hardwood compared to the gridiron.

While the Mavericks have already been eliminated from NBA playoff contention, Stein also reported that Romo will not play in the game.
