"inside outside outside inside outside inside inside outside inside outside......"

Simms is absolutely horrible, which is why nobody wants him in their booth anymore.
I like Sims way better than I do Troy Aikman. How many plays Tony Romo got in the wrong especially during the playoffs

Yup, networks are crooks, all I said is that it is a reflection of his personality whether it be as the QB for the Dallas Cowboys or commentator for CBS.
I’ve already turned down opportunities to make more money. If I’m happy doing what I’m doing than that’s all that matters to me.

i praise you for being better than me. i personally can't sit in a place where i outperform somebody and they make more than me. i'm not rich but i don't struggle to make ends meet either. if that makes me selfish, then i admit it. if that shows poor personality, i apologize. i won't do it if i am harming others, but i sure as well will do it if that money isn't going to be headed for a good cause.

because brady is an outlier. there aren't more than a handful that do what he did. so to criticize romo when hundreds of others and probably most americans are doing it is silly. he leaving money on the table doesn't impact anyone else. brady doing it impacts the team's cap and competitiveness. i praise brady for doing it. that doesn't make me crap on romo. him doing it doesn't impact cbs's product. i'd criticize a ton of people for maximizing money before i did romo.
For the third time, I said it’s a reflection of who he is. It’s not just this particular scenario, it’s a combination of his actions as a Cowboy AND this which Hatcher already alluded to but people refuse to believe (except what he said about JG then all of the sudden he’s credible).

Dang bro. How much money do you need to have. Lol. I wonder if they don’t give it to him if he will feel “disrespected”..

Maybe he wants to get into coaching.

There is no way Romo should be getting paid more than Jim Nantz or Al Michaels.

No way.

This is silly. Nantz and Michaels are probably easier to replace. Good play by play guys are fairly common. Romo is probably the best colour guy out there. He brings significant entertainment value to the games he works. He’s probably worth more than Nantz and Michaels.

Every play-by-play guy refuses to work with Simms. Greg Gumbel kicked him out. Nantz kicked him out. Nobody wants him. He adds nothing, and he's wrong about everything.

Romo sees the game at a MUCH higher level than Simms or Troy. Part of that is because he played more recently, but most QBs today do not see the game like Romo. Only 3 or 4.

Troy handed off and threw slants. Same for Simms. They do not understand coverages or read defenses at the level of Romo, Peyton, Brady, Rodgers, Brees, and a couple of others.

Romo is usually right on plays or really close, but that's not the point. If the QB doesn't see the same read he does, he won't check to a play. Or, a defense can disguise itself and even a good QB can guess the wrong of two choices.

You can't argue that Romo gives the viewer the cleanest idea yet of how a good QB scans a defense and audibles into better percentage protections and plays.

i'd balance hatcher's views with all the instances i've read where romo stopped on the side of the road or did good humanitarian things. hatcher's account could be accurate or it could be biased. maybe he was tight with others that didn't like romo and that impacted his viewpoint. maybe it is the unbiased truth. sometimes personalities clash and that can bias a viewpoint between co-workers. i'm not sure what the absolute truth is.

Yes, on this I agree. Wholeheartedly.

Troy has become a bore to listen to.

Romo has the new pizzaz and is much more exciting.
Disagree.

Not sure what new pizazz is but childish or giddish crackling voice trying to call the play before it happens isn’t very appealing to me. Otherwise I like him.

There are people making more money that underperform people making less everyday. If I had already made several million dollars, was on the verge of accomplishing something that is rarely ever done and most people who have ever played football dream about (winning the SB) and it cost me a few million to put my team in serious contention then I would gladly hand it over for that opportunity.

Outlier or not, Brady’s unselfishness is what’s contributed to the Pats winning SB’s.

My only problem with Tony type of play calling. Before the snap. I don't need the help. I'd . Here we go just another person's opinion what the play should be or will be or is going to be.

That's my exact point I don't need someone tell me what the play is going to be. I want, commendation on what happened not what's going to happen. I guess he's great when you don't know the game

Jason Hatcher was a lazy player who only played hard when his contract was up, then he went and laid down in Washington.

He's a loser.

Do we really need to know what the play is going to be before it’s ran?

Somehow we made it all these years with commentating on the play afterwards.

Lots of others love what he does. He gets big love for his ability to predict the play. I learn a ton from it. My guess is others do too.

I like that he really gets into the game. He gets so excited. He is fun to listen to and informing. Don’t think they will pay him 10 million a year.

And I’m not better than you nor did I mean to imply that.
