If only announcers could throw.
Perhaps but he did and his response was well-thought out. Too often, the media asks a question and the responder does not give much thought--or zero thought--about what they say after parting their lips.Of course. Romo probably shouldn't have responded to it
I'm not sure which is worse. The off season or the damn media.
“I saw where Tony Romo said that he always knew that he wanted to be a broadcaster,'' Manning said. "Well, I always knew I wanted to be a football player. That’s all I knew. I was all-in on that job. I didn’t think about anything else while I was playing. And I think that’s a good way to be. I think you’ve got to be all-in on what you’re doing.”
I doubt that Manning and Romo are anything but respectful to one another; they're probably even friendly. The remarks nevertheless come across to some as a dig at Romo, who of course never quite scaled the heights of winning at quarterback that Manning did. But this week on the Ben & Skin Show on 105.3 The Fan, Romo, the former Dallas Cowboys QB who has quickly become a superstar in the CBS broadcast booth, was asked to respond.
"Ultimately, that's something I never actually said," Romo said, adding that he was unfamiliar with Manning's comments. "I didn't start thinking about being a broadcaster until I was contemplating retirement. And so at that point, then you're going to start thinking about your next stage.

Later, Manning wondered aloud, to the tune of the Nationwide jingle: "Why is Tony on my mind?"
Peyton needs to shut the hell up because he apparently was only thinking about those terrible insurance commercials post-retirement. Seriously awful.
A most worthy of the“I saw where Tony Romo said that he always knew that he wanted to be a broadcaster,'' Manning said. "Well, I always knew I wanted to be a football player. That’s all I knew.

Would anybody who knows anything about Peyton Manning actually think he was being disrespectful towards another person?

I think another example of the media blowing something up.
