Bonnie Bernstein not too happy bout Romo to CBS

[Fletch]

I don't do tweets. But on another site there was some Bonnie Bernstein tweets hating on Romo jumping into the #1 slot with Nantz.

She sounded extremely butt hurt, calling it crap! Snowflake much?

 

[Shake_Tiller]

Professional jealousy.

Oh, sweet Bonnie. Did she expect to get that position or something?

The fact that I have diligently followed sports for 25 years and I had to google her name tells you everything you need to know.

She should just be happy she has a job.

I'm sorry but who the hell is Bonnie Bernstein?

I'm sorry but who the hell is Bonnie Bernstein?

Apparently a feminist sports reporter with jealousy issues.

The coming up with cohesive thoughts on the fly won't be a problem for #9. I envision him being too in depth to be more of a problem.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

I see her point. He's never done commentary before and he gets the prime spot. And he replaces Simms who has been doing it for a long time.

The problem is that Simms got the #1 spot pretty quickly in his announcing career and he has been very stale for years (I don't hate him as a commentator, but he's not exactly thrilling to listen to).

And I usually find with these ex-players and ex-coach types you need to get them right away because they still look at the game from a player/coach standpoint and aren't afraid to go into detail about what was going on with a play and throw some real football jargon and real football analysis around in their first few years in commentary. But, once those honeymoon years go by, they became a generic version of commentary and start to play the generic announcing game (ala Troy and Collinsworth).

Bonnie Bernstein is actually one of the coolest people you'll ever meet, so I don't think she's doing it to be mean. But, the fact is that this has been going on since the 70's (Cosell hated Meredith because he was a player and not a 'real' announcer) and I would imagine that Bonnie had to know this even before she got into the industry.

In Philly they're attributing Romo getting the lead gig to white privilege.

That white boy Antonio Ramiro Romo.

 

[RJ_MacReady]

Classic bimbo.

I hate CBS broadcasts and IMO sucks Romo is joining them.

 

[ShortRound]

Who?

 

[Biggems]

I have always like bonnie. She is one of the few sideline reporters I can tolerate.

I do agree that Tony should not get the top spot yet. He should play the undercard for a year to get his feet wet. Then, he can take over for Phil.

Btw, now Fox and CBS have Cowboys as their top team for broadcasting......America's Team......

 

[Reality]

It's funny that she'll be praised, receive rounds of support, and maybe even some interviews over those tweets, while if one of us did something like that at our job, we would be lucky to still have one. To quote Bonnie Bernstein .. "No offense. But that's total crap."

That said, I agree with what she is saying

 

[The Quest for Six]

Everybody thought Troy Aikman wouldn't work in the booth either when Fox hired him and he's turned out to be one of thee best in the business on game day......hopefully Romo has contacted Troy for some advice...

 

[HeavyBarrel]

For some reason a quote from Dwayne Johnson from the late 90's early 2000's come to mind....

 

[Silver Surfer]

Did it ever dawn on Bonnie that maybe, just maybe, she got her first job for some other reason than she was an "outstanding broadcaster"?

 

[LucaBrasi]

Phil Simms has gotten by for years without putting 2 coherent sentences together.

 

[Risen Star]

What can I say? Being the starting QB of the Dallas Cowboys comes with a lot of benefits.

This is why they're America's Team.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Will only get to hear him call a game when the Cowboys Play someone in the AFC.

Don't usually watch the AFC North games that is played in my area ad nauseum.
