Romo wants 10 million per year from CBS

[gjkoeppen]

I’m sorry, did I ever mislead you or anyone here that I was or am a big Romo fan? I’d love to see those posts, please find them for me detective.

By most times, I assume you mean 67%? Technically that’s more than half but I wouldn’t consider it most.

Did I ever say yell? I said giggle, ooooo and ahhhhhhh, like a kid watching a magician or fireworks show. Most adults I know don’t giggle during football games, IMOF, I don’t know of any outside of Tony.

Oh so you've never seen a play that ends up on the blooper reels and laughed or seen a huge hit and went oooo. Most fans aren't robots like you seem to think you are. Football is an emotional sport and people do react to what they see, adults included.

I don't know where your 67% comes from. I can say you're the first person I've read that has said anything bad about what Romo did in the booth.

First if ti is chump change then it would have already been done if this insider is right. Second, if it is chump change they would have paid that to him from the start.

There's no big hurry. Romo will get his money and from CBS because they don't want him calling games in the Fox booth for sure.

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.

And as for implying that Romo earns his employers hundreds of millions of dollars, how do you come to that bizarre conclusion?

I’m very emotional during gamea, so much so I prefer to watch them by myself so the people around me to incur my wrath but I don’t giggle, I don’t over exaggerate the most basic situations and I don’t ooooo and ahhhh on every other play.

I get he is popular and a lot of people like him. I’m sorry the fact that he annoys the hell out of me and a few others personally bothers you and the other Romoholics.

67% comes from the Wall Street Journal, is that acceptable to you?

He should pull a Leveon and sit out the entire 2019 season.

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

No way.

I'd be willing to bet he brings in a decently larger amount of revenue than any other announcer. That's not taking account secondary marketing, brand, etc. opportunities. Probably the most important factor is that young fans seem to be attracted to him - and outside of fantasy football, sports leagues, particularly football (baseball seems done for in that regard) need all the help they can there.

I'm also guessing his Q-score is pretty high.

Other than Madden, in my years of watching the NFL I can't recall anyone ever even speaking about the announcers, other than negatively.

Romo is my favorite commentator. Some people hate him calling games but I like it.

 

[vlad]

I get it, I’m just not surprised and think it’s a reflection of who he is and has always been.

I doubt many voluntarily take a deflated salary, or if are business owners have a fairly flat pay structure... I'd love for Dak to take a 15m contract so the team around him could be great, but I don't think it will happen and don't fault him for not doing that.

I wish thread like this would start with "Rumor", then the title.

I wish thread like this would start with "Rumor", then the title.

I can understand where you're coming from, but I, personally, don't even care about this one.

"Romo asking for 3 trillion dollars from CBS"...
So? Who cares?

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.

There went the Salary CAP. Dumb Jerry....

 

[DCowboyz]

Jim Nantz is only paid $5 million a year.

Al Michaels is 6 million.

Damn, and you would think Al Michaels was getting a little more. So Romo will be the highest paid announcer?!

Romo is my favorite commentator. Some people hate him calling games but I like it.

Guy is wildly popular IMO. He'll get his money. Smart to get outta the NFL in one piece. Never remember him having any concussions either. Congrats Tony.

 

[Captain-Crash]

"rumors is he's asking for 10 million and 10 million cases of tissues for the ones who are still butt hurt over him".. I hope he get's it..

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Whatever he can get he should get. Don't really care what announcers make.

 

[dfense]

Wait til he starts working golf broadcasts. $$$

All true, but... seniority legends of the likes of Jim Nantz and Al Michaels deserve to get paid the most. They have earned it. Imagine Romo there teamed up with someone else? It just wouldn't be the same in terms of quality.

 

[75boyz]

CBS will pay him, but probably negotiate it down to $8-$9 million. People say announcers don't matter, and people will watch regardless. That is true, but there were games I tuned into the last two years specifically because I wanted to hear Romo. I know I'm not the only one.

Nope, you're not. I remain a huge fan and try to catch all the games he calls.

 

[rags747]

And as for implying that Romo earns his employers hundreds of millions of dollars, how do you come to that bizarre conclusion?

Ad rev for CBS pkg of games alone is approx $870m per yr, non SB year of course. Is Tony responsible for that, no but when you are the hot tkt everyone wants to ply you with $. Are you of the belief that all income over $1mio should be taxed at a 70% rate?

 

[shabazz]

Hatcher was right. It won’t happen but I’d love it it they told Romo to shove where he wants it.

Hatcher was a lump of crap nobody knows or remembers and Tony will get paid so you lose
