Tony Romo as broadcaster....refreshing (IMO)

I've heard people complain that he talks too much... and maybe there's a little bit to that.  Sometimes less is better.  But, overall, I actually DO enjoy his commentary.  He really does know his stuff.  I've kinda wondered, though... if the "less informed" (i.e. "casual"?) fans feel like he talks over their heads.  He speaks football... but not every fan understands that language.  For what it's worth, though, I enjoy him.

I like him.  But I like Chris Collinsworth too.

I think he's the best out there right now. No bias whatsoever, knowledgeable, dynamic, and energetic.

it won't take long for the network and media types to beat all the good out of him....

Put me in the "does he get paid by the word category?"... My first impression was very favorable... By the second quarter of the first game I was wishing he would STFU...

But I also think that color commentators are useless.  To quote a Richard Jeni bit... Your watching it on TV all the guy has to say is..   "Did you see that?  So did I." 

I think Tony does a good job. He's got PLENTY of enthusiasm, that's for sure....which of course can get to be a little too much but I've seen several games he's done now and I do love how he shares his knowledge of the game.

I guarantee you the network is telling Romo to talk more. They've gotten the early reviews on him and they are very positive, so in their world, more is better. 'Keep talking, Tony.....keep up the chatter. Viewers love you!'. Typical saturation move by the TV network. They can't leave a good thing alone. 

Here's an article on him...

My favorite announcer.

I don't have a strong opinion on anybody who dislikes him, but... I absolutely love him as a commentator. Probably an age thing. Which is funny, because I'm usually the opposite when it comes to that millenial bullshit.

I like the football knowledge, but he just seems like such a likable guy. He's not polished, but will get there. But I don't really care.

So much this....

There's times I forget its Tony...his voice goes at least 2 octaves highr as he get's more riled up. He's ok by me.

I don't mind him as well. Fuck Drew Pearson.

He's actually tolerable today...maybe he got decaf...

He's is better than most but definitely could talk a tad less.

Just said Marcus Peters make Deion Sanders look like a willing tackler! Truth in advertising.

Considering there are so many crappy commentators that make stupid jokes or don't know what the hell they are talking about, he sticks out in a good way. He doesn't his homework and knows his stuff. I really enjoy listening to him. I like his energy and his insight.
