Fame and fallibility have long traveled the same road, and Thursday evening near Milwaukee, that truth found a familiar face. Tony Romo — once a celebrated NFL quarterback, now a prominent voice in sports broadcasting — was pulled over on Interstate 43 and arrested on suspicion of operating while intoxicated after failing a field sobriety test. The incident, unfolding just miles from his Wisconsin hometown, reminds us that public success offers no immunity from private missteps, and that the arc of a public life is rarely as straight as it appears from the outside.
