Mike Malone has great quote about Tony Romo on Mavericks

Tony Romo on the Dallas Mavericks Tuesday night will be quite the spectacle, and Mike Malone is going into it with a good sense of humor.

Speaking with the media before the game, Malone, who will be coaching the opposing Denver Nuggets when Romo suits up as a “Maverick for a day,” made a funny reference to another recently retired signal caller, ex-Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, per Nick Kosmider of the Denver Post.

Malone on Romo: I tried to get Peyton on the plane yesterday. It didn't work out."

With both the Nuggets and Mavs already eliminated from playoff contention, Malone can afford to keep a light-hearted mood for Tuesday’s game. That said, Malone is probably glad he’s going up against a former Dallas Cowboys QB instead one from the Minnesota Vikings or the Baltimore Ravens.
