The two guys developed a good friendship when Carpenter, the Cowboys' first-round draft pick in 2006, played in Dallas. And, you see, their friendship is so tight that Carpenter was a groomsman in Romo's wedding last May.
So imagine how satisfying it is for Carpenter that his pick-six jumpstarted Detroit's 34-30 comeback win Sunday in Dallas -- and his good friend's epic collapse.
"It felt good. I'm not going to lie," said Carpenter told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "It was a great situation. It was a big stage -- Dallas, Texas, and the Cowboys -- and it was an opportunity for us to go 4-0 heading into Monday Night Football [against the Chicago Bears next week]."
It's always nice to get back at your old team -- even better to get one over on your good friend. We wonder if Romo will ask Carpenter to give back the groomsman's gift he bought him this week.
