Tony Romo quotes ‘Napoleon Dynamite,’ ‘Mortal Kombat’ during Chief vs. Browns playoff matchup

It might be too early to call, but Tony Romo might be the MVP of Sunday’s AFC divisional matchup between the Chiefs and Browns.

The CBS color analyst continued his tradition of excellent broadcasting by dropping a couple of pop culture references during the first half of Sunday’s game: one from “Napoleon Dynamite” and the other from the “Mortal Kombat” video game series.

The first of those came after Kansas City’s opening touchdown; shortly after quarterback Patrick Mahomes scampered into the end zone, he heaved the ball deep into the stands of Arrowhead Stadium. That prompted Romo to say he “could throw it over those mountains over there.”

Straight from the mouth of Uncle Rico:

Then, at the start of the second quarter, cameras zoomed in on Chiefs coach Andy Reid and his peculiar mask setup (which itself has a pretty interesting history ). As the camera lingered on Reid, Romo could be heard saying, “Get over here!”

For those not in the know, that’s a nod to the “Mortal Kombat” character Scorpion who, like, Reid, sports a pretty iconic mask:

So not only is Romo an accomplished quarterback and football color analyst, but also a movie and video games aficionado — a modern day Renaissance Man.

Now, if only everyone could get access to the game so they could listen to him.
