Romo the next Favre?

Made you look!

Tony Romo just showed up for practice in a No. 4 jersey. Everyone standing near him is laughing, so I'm thinking this is something Bill Parcells made him do.

Romo, who hails from a smalltown in Wisconsin, idolizes Favre. In fact, he's been known to sidearm balls like his hero, which doesn't please Parcells.

Not sure if kicker Shaun Suisham will get his jersey back.

Why was Romo wearing No. 4?

Quarterback Tony Romo said he was duped into wearing No. 4 in Thursday afternoon's practice by veteran guard Marco Rivera.

Romo, who grew up idolizing Packers quarterback Brett Favre, said Rivera switched out the jerseys before practice, and that he didn't realize it until someone said something to him on the practice field.

"I caught a lot of flak," said Romo, "but I'll get Marco back."

Rivera and Favre played together in Green Bay for years, and he knows about Romo's devotion to Favre.
