Tony at ESPN?,,, that "diamond mixed in poo-poo" description Emmitt made years ago comes to mind. Their SNF pre-game show is unwatchable.

I've been seriously praying that CBS would expand his role and put him on the PGA Tour coverage. You can't tell me that anyone in their right mind would prefer to listen to Dottie f ing Pepper over Romo. He'd be awesome at The Masters.

He's the best so he should be the highest paid.
Agree. Yesterday his broadcast mate was gonna give the game to the Texans when Romo said "not so fast." "I'm not ready to do that yet."
He then showed how barring a double team every time, KC would hit Kelce---and proceeded to do so about a half-dozen times. He also said early that the cold weather could have an effect on hands, and sure enough KC receivers dropped a few early balls. Some of his analysis is eerie for seeing the weaknesses. I know there is a video out there "Tony Romo on Tony Romo" showing many times when HE didn't read the D right, but from the booth, he is simply the best since Madden.

That's exactly what I'm hoping for. CBS comes close to or matches the offer and keeps him. I'd hate to see him go to a trash network like BSPN.

It happens more than you think. For example, I live in North Jersey. The Jets are the local AFC team so they are shown locally every week, usually on CBS, regardless of what the number one game is. The same is true in other AFC markets.

Do these networks not realize you can have Joe Schmoe calling the games and it will get ratings? If the matchup is enticing, people are going to tune in. No, MNF's ratings are not going to go up because Romo is hired. Get better matchups. Heck, MNF did just fine when it was still the go to primetime game of the week and they had guys like Dennis Miller.

It was Phil Simms, who's spot Romo had just taken. Phil was super-salty after that.

even then Romo gets to do the best CBS games and they comfortably beat ESPN viewership.

There is a belief Romo will jump ship because of money. Well, Jerry Jones made Romo an extremely wealthy man. Romo derives an exceptional income from commercial endorsements. CBS paid him $4 million a year. Romo's agency had already opened negotiations to up that to $10 million a year.
CBS will try to keep Romo. The network may meet his agency's original $10 million per year offer. If so, negotiations will become a wait-and-see situation.
Will Romo ask his agent to play hard ball with CBS and see if they match ESPN's offer? The what will Romo do question is nullified if CBS does match ESPN's offer.
Will Romo be satisfied with the $10 million a year offer, which CBS will highly likely approve because of ESPN's higher offer? That is another possibility that "Romo is all about the money" speculators have not considered.
I, for one, will be interested seeing reaction commentary if the latter happens.

The higher offer has been extended. CBS has little choice but to match the $10 million Romo's agency has requested. I think the remaining question is whether CBS matches ESPN's offer.

It's up to Romo.
He absolutely does not have to take the highest bid.
Not saying he won't, or that CBS won't match, but Romo is under no obligation whatsoever to sell himself to the highest bidder.
Sounds like he can already get 10 mil from CBS though
Maybe I am misunderstanding what you are saying?

MNF pretty much died once Gruden went back to coaching. NFL and ESPN need to do better with the games as well with flexing if needed. It's prime time and the best teams and the best games deserve the spotlight.
