In the gimmick of all gimmicks orchestrated by Mark Cuban, newly retired Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is suiting up for the Dallas Mavericks tonight in their final home game of the season.
First look at @tonyromo in a Mavs uniform and in the locker room! Make sure you tune in on TXA21 at 7PM tonight! pic.twitter.com/aIdN95zwOr

It’s a pretty ridiculous thing that I admittedly think is funny, but most importantly to us in Philadelphia, the publicity stunt gave Eagles fans one last chance to poke fun at Romo before he heads to the broadcast booth (where he will continue to be roasted). Here is some of the best that Twitter had to offer…
@miSTEVEious_ Classic Romo, playing for a Dallas team that won't make the playoffs

Romo looks like that dude who coaches little league and gets way too into it wearing an adult sized uniform. https://t.co/AM0fFyosmS

Wow Romo looks ridiculous! He looks the old dude at the YMCA who still thinks he got game 😂 https://t.co/LUJNuE5IlG

@TheCrossover Tony Romo and Devin Harris - two people I never thought would be in the NBA in 2017.

Surprised the Sixers didn't get Tony Romo in the Nerlens deal

All this and Romo isn't even a hall of fame QB

I'd like to think Nerlens is looking away saying "Cowboys Suck" under his breath #TrustTheProcess https://t.co/5kgCpZVlGb

Even as an NFL QB making millions...I am never not feeling embarrassed for Tony Romo https://t.co/d9agOl7fl8

Personally, I love the Mavs having Tony Romo on the bench. They need to lose games, who better than Tony?

@rdafor3 TFW you see Dallas honoring Tony Romo who's Playoff record is nowhere near Donovan McNabb's who STILL gets No ❤ in Philly......... pic.twitter.com/sMxZh906cu

When you work your entire life to make the NBA and choose #9 and it's your first team photo day and they give Romo your # and block you pic.twitter.com/ACJmVBdeCo

Don't get why people are upset the Mavs let Tony Romo play dress up. The Phils let Chase Utley put uni on last week https://t.co/4NqZFgqfp2

@NickSwaggyGoof Maybe he'll tweak an ankle in warm-ups, followed by a season of Dallas fans insisting if he was fully healthy, they would have won the game

Romo is actually the best Mavericks player whose name begins with an R and wears #9 in several years. pic.twitter.com/fgGFbfwiyP

Romo get the ball in the corner and KD/Dray double team him. He faints

Why is Tony Romo agreeing to play dress up and be a Dallas Maverick for a day? That whole gimmick is bizarre.

No issue with Romo on Mavs bench. Just ironic. Hey, Tony, you rode the bench your last season in the NFL. Let us honor you by riding ours.

OMG Tony Romo hit an uncontested elbow jump shot in practice. He's so good. Put him in the basketball Hall of Fame.

Sean Spicer, United, Pepsi, Romo, Tom Brady's jersey... remember in 2016 when we were just mad about old celebs dying???
