Geez I hope he doesn’t replace Troy and get hooked up with Buck.
I wouldn’t mind him on Sunday nights over collingsworth

I think CBS would match anyone

How bittersweet would it be if Romo make the HOF as an announcer and not a player?
It has to be sweet for him at this point. Romo is a realist. After Dak took his spot he probably knew that HOF wasn't even a option for him.....and then the announcing gig came up and he's done so well at it he's in elite company. Has to be strictly sweet for him.

Not until the Garrett boys and possibly Stephen jones at gone.
What idiot would leave the booth to go and coach and put in all that work? Cowboy fans killed Romo his whole career just like they re doing Dak now....who wants to put up with that again? He can't do any wrong now as a analyst.....he'd be a fool to leave unless he just really wants to coach.

FYI.....since the "Report" decided nit give us a figure or range of what he can expect, you can the two articles below and decide for yourself. Hell, he's quietly becoming a celebrity. When you ever heard of fans talking about tuning in for an NFL game to listen to an analyst. You can make a case he's going to increase viewership in a way the networks have never seen. For that, if I'm Romo, my range is $12-15M.

Not bad for an UDFA out of Eastern Illinois.

And on a side note he will be playing a crap ton of golf in the off season. Celebrity tour.

Romo should never return to this organization that back-stabbed him, unless the guys that did the back-stabbing are gone.

Romo was a good player, but he’s a great broadcaster. He is fortunate to have such a wonderful partner in Jim Nance. Glad they are doing this year’s Super Bowl. CBS struck gold with that hire

The best line in that whole story is the fact that Romo is universally praised for his analysis, so why would he want to return to a fan base that a large portion of blamed him for most or all the teams failures. I wish nothing but the best for that guy. An absolute class act.

Betting Tony’s agent asks for Madden money ($7.5-$8mil per) — or more — and gets it.

People who mock Romo as a "failure" seem to lose sight that this is an undrafted free agent who shot to fame and became a household name, shattered nearly every single franchise passing record, married a celebrity, earned $200 million and may well earn another $200 million.


99.99% of his critics and haters won't even achieve a thousandth of that success themselves.

I don’t buy it. I think the chance to be a NFL HC without paying any dues as an assistant would be too much for Romo to pass up. He’s a proven TV analyst and if he left he’d get opportunities to come back if he wanted. I don’t disagree that Romo has a great gig, but the draw to be in the thick of competition especially at that level is what those guys live for.

He also has young kids. I guarantee spending time with them is on top of list.

Non-fans tuned in to hear Madden. Shrug.

What idiot? A non conventional thinking competition junkie who never really needs to make another dime but instead feels a deep desire to compete to be fulfilled and has conquered his current profession. Now, name someone that fits that description.

Are you saying Romo has "conquered" his current profession?

Most of that is right except the marrying the celebrity part. She did some reporting and years ago won a beauty contest, but she was not a celebrity, thank goodness.
Starting in '09 Candice the guy real solid roots, much more fitting to his down-to-earth personality. Her brother Chase, is a bit of a celebrity though.
One the best things Romo did was dump the one celebrity he really did date (Simpson) because she was wanting the limelight too much. Not a fit at all.
:laugh:

Sort of. He’s as good as there is right now. So much so that if he left to coach, he continued I’d gave any booth job he wanted when he was done coaching.

Wonder if Romo will end up like Aikman, who had/has a longer career as analyst than quarterback.
