CBS Sports and Tony Romo have mutually agreed to part ways

Gross

Wow, feel bad for the guy but as someone else said here recently, maybe there was more over the years than just that traffic stop.

Wonder what the payout was.

I’m guessing Romo got a nice buyout as well.

Good we can stop posting about this now

CBS gave him a bottle of wine and thanked him for his service

There were rumblings on twitter.

He was never returning his role as lead analyst, but I thought it would be a demotion vs firing.

There will be opportunities for him if he wants to continue.

The old guard is getting long in the tooth, and TV rights have been expanded.

Wish him the best rehab and or treatment for his problems and hope his family remains a strong support network for him to get through this stuff.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Too bad. I did think he was a good announcer. I wish him well.

It will never happen.

Maybe he can return back to being a QB, just not here

 

[jazzcat22]

Give him a year, maybe two. He will be back. If not a 2nd or 3rd team announcer. Maybe start out in a studio being a talking head for a year or two.

Maybe he can replace worn out Terry Bradshaw.

Coach. QB coach, then be the OC. Dedicated OC. Do it Jerry.

Nantz needs to go as well, he's very boring. No opinion yet on JJ, but Nantz isn't going to help him get better, lol.

From articles over the years, CBS had talks with Romo with his on-air antics i.e. weird comments, noises, getting overly excited and just strange behavior. This sounds like the excuse to move on from him.

I always thought Romo was a terrible announcer. The immediate shtick of him predicting plays before they happened, quickly got toned down and then done away with by CBS.

It's a close one between having to listen to JJ Watt commentate or booking a one way flight to Switzerland...

Romo made a bad mistake and he has paid the price for it. Hopefully over time he will get a gig somewhere else. I enjoy listening to his insight.

 

[Aven8]

We will probably see Tony again on Amazon or Netflix. That’s my bet.

 

[Amarth]

Music to my ears, much better than his scratchy ooooing and ahhing like a 12 year old excited girl.

Wish him well in life but good riddance in the booth.

Fox/NBC ......licking chops. Romo is ratings, just like Cowboys.
