Tony Romo knows a lot about football, which we’ve all learned by listening to him call games with Jim Nantz on CBS for the past few years. But now we know he’s also a Mortal Kombat fan, too.
Romo, who is in Kansas City today calling the Browns-Chiefs divisional playoff game, dropped a reference from the legendary video game and even did an impersonation of Scorpion, the character he quoted in this hilarious moment.
The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback dropped the “GET OVER HERE” line, which is the legendary catchphrase from the fighting video game, during the first half.
Check this out:
