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

That white boy Antonio Ramiro Romo.

Which one of those meatball turds propagated that nonsense? I'm guessing Rob Ellis because he's an actual idiot but I would put money on Cataldi too

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?
Lmao

She and Simms are real tight. Have done a lot of functions together over the years. Bottom line was Simms was boring and getting more boring all the time. He also missed things. Really obvious things during a game he would call one way and he was often wrong, but never cleaned it up. I'm sure Nantz will place Tony under his wing and he will do fine. Its not like Aikman hit the ground running. He was a clod for a while as well. Moose started out the gate pretty good IMO.

Well she might want to keep quiet before she tweets the wrong thing about Romo and his projected future and wherever she works decides they can replace her.

I've never heard of Bermstein, she must be from that channel I never watch. Speaking of channels I never watch, it's sad to see Romo going to CBS, it's like having a good friend move to Cleveland.

She is butt-hurt. She worked so hard being sexy for a job and then pear-shaped Romo took it the second he retired from playing. hah

I'm sure CBS went through drills with Romo as if he was partaking in a live broadcast. I don't think it's like Bernstein is suggesting, that they are simply throwing Tony Romo to the wolves so to speak. They obviously think his experience and knowledge of the game as well as his intelligence and communication skills all make him capable of the job. I can understand her frustration because she's been working in the industry for years and it appears to her that some new guy who has no experience in the industry simply out of the blue got one of the most coveted jobs in all of sports broadcasting, but it's not like he came from out of nowhere. He's a well known personality.

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.
yeah that is good point, I know I dont usually watch the cbs channel, it is afc, and sometimes I watch the texans play or tenn, or oakland,
but not very many.
Thursday night games though cbs has those, so that will be when we see romo in booth.

I also think many times romo will be on cbs, at same time cowboy game is airing on fox.
In dfw area cbs often does the mon night game, so that is another one that romo would do.

Wouldn't it be funny if Jerry worked with CBS to make that happen to keep him off the Texans' roster and get him a new long-term gig? It's my new conspiracy theory.

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......


Kind of agree with you. Problem was, Tony's agent probably held their feet to the fire and they caved. Done deal now. I don't think he'll play again FWIW

Tony is famous, that got him the job. She would never get that job, but maybe someday the job nantz has.
They obviously liked tony and think he will be good, and if Simm's did it tony can.

The offer was too good for tony to turn down , so it must be paying good too.

I understand her frustration, but it should never be about seniority. That's how you end up with the proverbial "good old boy" network. The best person for a job should have that job regardless of their experience level.

Her reaction is par for the course for Romo. No matter what he has done, he has always been the underdog who lacked pedigree. Yet, he always excels.

EDIT: Should I put more virtue signaling into the post?
