Call me crazy but is he negotiating himself out of a job so he can go play QB somewhere?

Broadcasting will always be there for him. 38 years old. Just saw Tom Brady win another. Probably thinks he could play 2 more years. $10MM is quite the ask.

Poor Tony, I don’t know how he makes it with only 70 million and a wife who doesn’t work. No wonder he’s asking for more money, he has kids to feed and a wife to support.
Ya tony isn’t hurting but my point was I’m not certain Brady makes the concessions he has over the years without his wife’s income and all his endorsements but I could be wrong though

It’s all great until he gets tackled and breaks his back. But if he wanted to come back then someone would give him a shot.

i don't think so. i think he's enjoying the time with his kids. peyton was supposedly offered 10m so romo is pushing what he can get while the iron is hot.

Tony needs to watch a great depression doc to get his head out of his golden cloud.

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.
Or took a homeless dude to the movies...sat in the back where no one would notice and chilled with dinner and a movie with a stranger.
Or funded south Dallas playgrounds anomalously because charity is more fun done under the radar
It goes on and one and on.....

FRISCO - Tony Romo Knows Drama. Tony Romo Knows Timing. So it should surprise no one that word has leaks that Tony Romo would like a raise to $10 million a year to continue working as a TV analyst for CBS Sports.

“I feel this (in the booth for CBS) is exactly where I should be,” Romo told the media during a pre-Super Bowl preview in January.

But now, according to Sporting News, Romo’s representatives are looking for a contract extension paying him “eight figures” annually to remain "where he should be'' -- a substantial raise from his present salary of $4 million.



I guess he needs the money. Who can raise two kids on only 4 million a year? Its gotta be tough.

I really don’t need to know what the plays going to be before it’s called every time . But he’s become very popular.
Yes. It's impressive but not necessarily what I want to hear. I cringe a little when the story about his announcing becomes all about his predictive skill, because frankly I fear it'll become more and more the Romo magic trick show instead of a football game.

He offers some good insight that most don’t but he annoys the hell out if me with his school girl giddiness and trying to predict every play.

He's a very experienced QB who sees the field and knows what his QB buddies are going to do in certain situations. If you don't care for his commentary, you can always turn the sound off and turn on the radio.

Well I don't know, is it a joke to think that a man already worth many many millions of dollars, demanding an obscene amount of money to do something he supposedly loves doing is an unpleasant character trait?
Do you work for free as a habit or do you seek regular raises? I find it interesting that somehow working a legitimate job, paying more taxes than the average Joe/Sasha and providing his employers with $100’s of millions of $ and then wanting to be fairly compensated for it can somehow be considered obscene. Someone living in a box could look at what you have and consider that to be obscene as well.

I get enjoyment just when he's wrong. It's more often than most people think. I listen to Sirius Radio sometimes because I can't stand Joe Buck or Troy Aikman. I don't mind Tony. I just sometimes would like to see the play run through before he guesses what's going to happen. He definitely knows what should happen. That doesn't mean it will

That’s what I usually end up doing.

Just an FYI, a study was done and Tony was right 68% of the time he predicted plays. That’s not near the percentage most here would have you believe. Not even joking, most of us could guess the same amount of plays, in the same situations, correctly. I’m not saying we all know football as well as he does, obviously most of us, if any do, but as far as his predictions go they are way overblown.

I’ve also joind live game threads that he’s commentating and have pointed out every time he is wrong and right but people don’t like to hear when he is wrong, it’s like telling a kid that Santa isn’t real, they don’t want to believe it.

He's a very experienced QB who knows how to read defenses and knows what offensive plays would work against based on pre-snap read.
Yes, the QB may opt for something else or have an audible last minute. NFL football is a game of significant variables and outcomes.

Now's the time to ask for the moon when you're the most talked about announcer. Sure CBS can afford it lol.
