Photographer apologizes for 'fat' Romo pic

Twitter

Tony Romo isn't fat, people.

The Twittersphere blew up with memes and bad jokes when an unflattering photo of the quarterback surfaced on the first day of Cowboys training camp.

But there's an explanation for the photo, and it has nothing to do with Romo's eating habits.

"It certainly appears as if Romo is overweight. He is not. It was some poor camera work on my part," admitted Dallas Morning News photographer Jon Machota.

Need further evidence?

"Romo is the same size he was during organized team activities and minicamp," Machota continued. "But this post is too late. The internet already believes Romo has a weight problem.

"Sorry, Tony."
