Twitter: ESPN Prepared To Make Tony Romo Highest-Paid Sportscaster In History

Tenkamenin · Jan 12, 2020

Romo needs to be on prime time, I hate that he’s on CBS. We don’t play enough on that channel so I rarely get a chance to listen to him.

Yea MNF isn't even as good as SNF. How many top games does ESPN get anymore? 2 or 3?

That is true, but Gruden did make it watchable

at this point jerry needs to sell dak on a lower contract that he can make up on the tv broadcast market when he retires like troy and tony.

The thing is with CBS it's just broadcasting. With ESPN it's the morning shows, the debate shows, Sportscenter, etc...etc. They'll work him to death.

Yeah, if he's smart he'll just use the offer to get a better deal with CBS...gives him more time with the family than ESPN would.

TheCoolFan · Jan 12, 2020

I would want nothing to do with ESPN. Seems like a lot of their talent leaves...not really a good place to work.

Too many things that they have to do to make it entertainment instead of just sports. Last week on the ESPN broadcast of the playoff game, it was like they were forced to talk about JJ Watt nonstop. This week, CBS barely mentions him

My Boys can't even get to the Playoffs, but hell, Jimmy is in the HOF and now Romo and Aikman are #1 and #2 in the broadcast booths.

And Jerry has the #1 franchise in professional sports *entertainment*.

FOX needs to jump in, pair Romo with Troy and trade Buck to work with Booger.....problem solved :flagwave:

Lolol at all the bozos on here chirping about a bunch of nonsense that means nothing

Romo is going where the money is..CBS isn't matching that offer and romo will go to espn

As if romo gives two craps which games he will call or how interesting mnf is

Wrong.
Let's re-visit this when CBS offers him 20M per...

Plus, he could probably play golf on Sundays...

Right now he can play golf Monday through Saturday and 7 days per week in the NFL off-season.

ESPN would want him to work all year and during the week...

MikeB80 · Jan 12, 2020

I think he is only doing this because he likes working with Jim Nantz.

Glad he is in this position but I can't imagine any scenario where he doesn't stay with CBS.

working on monday night means it will start affecting his home life with his kids and school.

cowboyec · Jan 12, 2020

if he makes this move...
1.good for him...he's earned that pay day.
2.hope they get him a better play by play guy on MNF...because espn's guy sux.

good. he was robbed of a hall of fame career because they never gave him. defense nd only had a good line for 2 years. He deserves this in his next career.

ESPN is trash. Tony needs to stay on CBS.

Agreed.

Plus, Tony would lose his gig commentating alongside Jim Nance during PGA men's golf major tournaments if he left CBS, so I seriously doubt he would accept BSPN's offer.

Bullflop · Jan 13, 2020

Tony Romo is the most engaging commentator on TV by a landslide!
I think he'd be a success in any kind of broadcasting he tried. :thumbup:

He breaks down the game of football about as well as anyone could.

Diehardblues · Jan 13, 2020

It’s the games which bring these announcers prominence. The MNF football matchups often suk. Much like on Thursday nite.

Sunday nites are the priority now for NFL. They actually make an attempt to have one of the best matchups just like the afternoon Fox or CBS game.

Romo should go to Sun night not Mon night.

He’ll be forgotten on Mon night as viewership is awful. He won’t be enough to revive it without marquee matchups. Society has changed. Mon night was successful because fans didn’t get enough on Sundays. Now they do with Sunday night.

Aviano90 · Jan 13, 2020

If he goes to MNF I won’t hear a word he says unless the Cowboys are playing. I have MNF muted on my laptop while watching TV with the wife.

Or...when CBS offers him a gig to join The Masters broadcast team.

Espn is a dumpster fire. Let it burn.
