This is an outrage

why won’t he stay at CBS for less? How can he turn his back on Jim Nance?!!

He’s asking to be the highest paid of all time but he’s nowhere near as elite as Al Michaels! Howard Cossel never asked for 13 million a year.

this joker has only been doing this for three years!

the nerve of this new breed of sportscaster

good sarcasm.

Go for it Romo. I wish fox would have paid him, he could do our games.

No you got it and I agree. My thing is for those (not you) saying Romo will chase the money are not considering he has choices that may supersede the greed label being put on him.

Family time being one of them. He has it perfect with CBS right now. With ESPN that's a LOT more of a time-sink, taking away valuable family time...and it's not like he needs the extra money differential between ESPN's offer and CBS's.

good stuff

fwiw (and I think you know this) he’s not necessarily planning to go to the highest bidder

Don Meredith
Troy Aikman
Tony Romo

All played for the Cowboys and all went on to be top color analysts for different networks. If you can survive several years as the Dallas QB, then you can pretty much do anything you want. Staubach's broadcasting career really didn't go anywhere, but he did build a very successful and profitable real estate business.

Yeah, off the field, Roger was the most successful of all of them financially.
Broadcasting would’ve just gotten in the way

In fact, he’s the wealthiest NFL player of all time.
Just humble about it

CBS would be idiots not to match the offer. They know what they have and they don’t want to lose him.

Reverend Conehead · Jan 15, 2020

Wow. I guess he's pretty good at it.

Staubach did do broadcasting at first when he retired, but it wasn't really his thing. He's way better at real estate.

That's insanity. Romo is so overrated as a color commentator.

That would suck for cbs.....

also

Whos his partner? Nothing against McFarland but i dont think Romo could make him better

McFarland is a color analyst, so it wouldn't be him. It would be a play by play guy like Joe Tessitore

It can be Oscar the Grouch. A muppet would be an upgrade over Buck.

Unless that Muppet was named Booger

It's weird, Booger doesn't bug me as much as he does everyone else. Not that I enjoy him, but he's better than say, Charles Davis, whose painful to listen to

He’s just king dip**** since Witten left

Unpopular opinion

give me Romo on cbs and Phil Sims/Chris Collinsworth on MNF

Never thought about Sims & Collinsworth together but that'd be most excellent!
