I hate to admit it, being a life long Cowboy DESPISER...
....but Romo is a good analyst. He can talk too much at times, but I'm assuming he is told to do so.
He comes across, at least to me, as genuinely excited, not the scripted, pre-planned BS that turds like Joe Buck and WTF Aikman dish out ad nauseum.
Gotta give him props. He is good.
I really like listening to him because he knows the game and actually talks about the game. There are very few good commentators in football right now.
Man what a Championship Sunday.
2 overtime games. Goodell must be getting a $10 million bonus!
I can't get there on Romo as an announcer. No doubt he knows the game and knows it well.

I don't like the Cowboys but I always liked Romo as a player. I like him even more as a broadcaster.
Broadcasters take lots of guff from fans for not adding anything, then one comes along who does offer real insights and is pretty good at predicting plays, and fans don't like that either. Tough crowd
Romo is non traditional and way more enlightening than any other color guy doing it.
I'm just a typical critic I guess. I don't know what I like. I just know what I don't like. I don't like Joe Buck. I don't dislike Tony. That's the best I can give.
Honestly I don't like most really. I don't like cheerleaders. That's what most do.
I don't like way more then I should. Yep typical critic.
First game he called I really enjoyed...after that, I thought he was getting paid by the word...He's ok...
Better than Buck is faint praise. Yes he isn't as annoying as most, but he is getting there IMO. Much more informative, but still talks too much.

Richard Deitsch of The Athletic asked Romo if he has received any contract offers to make a return to the playing field.
"There are legitimate contract offers and there are, 'Hey, what are you thinking?'" Romo replied.
