Romo last night

[bsbellomy]

And you still get the ball needing only one score.

IT WORKED OUT IN TAMPA'S FAVOR! They had a play at the end to win the game. All they could have hoped for.

Are you trying to make the case there isn't much difference in playing for the TD versus playing for the FG? Really?

How did it work out in their favor? He missed the kick, predictably so, and they could have had a good chance of getting the first down there.

It was 13-3, not 12-4. Get it right if you want to make a point.

You have your points mixed up.

 

[erod]

They were in FG range upon recovery of the onside. So you essentially make it so that even if you get a stop you need a TD now in the same amount of time.

And if you recover the onside?

You never willingly give the ball to Tom Brady at the end of the game in that situation. Ever.

unless there is like 5 seconds left and he is on his own 1 yard line. If you lose then you deserve it.

You mean like Romo was going to do with Aaron Rodgers if the Dez catch counted. I thought everyone was saying what a great decision that was?

Guess it was wrong after all?

A sportsbabe sighting. Becoming almost as common as seeing a legit Bigfoot.

These are difficult times for me. This transition has affected me like no other in football memory. I guess it's the times we live in.

Just good to see ya. Hang in there.

 

[xwalker]

Completely agree with your logic, but no way he makes $10m a year from CBS, right? Nantz is rumored to make around $7m and I would assume that includes all the other sports he covers. I would guess $4m for Romo, but curious what you based your number on.

Probably not 10 but multiple millions.

Listening to Tony Romo call the last drive last night explains why he had so many 4th quarter comebacks during his career.

Brilliant analysis. Called every moment perfectly.

He's better in the booth at this than anybody I've ever heard.

Musberger thinks he is awful.

Musberger thinks he is awful.

Musberger is awful nowdays.

A lot of those in the business are resentful that he was given the #1 gig after paying no dues. But Jim Nantz wanted him. Now we see why.

Romo has to trim the rough edges, but he's doing homework the others don't do. Aikman just shows up. Part of that is because the game has changed, and Aikman doesn't understand the game like Romo today.

 

[Sarge]

Musberger thinks he is awful.

I was just talking about Romo in the office the other day and the non-Cowboy fans for the most part don't like him as an announcer. "Talks too much" and "annoying" were the phrases used. I think he's does fine for just starting out.

cowboy haters will just hate. From what I have heard from various places most people really like Tony's calls.

 

[SlammedZero]

Did anybody catch his "last pass" comment? I know it was in jest but sometimes there's truth behind joking.

Musberger thinks he is awful.

No, he didn't say he was aweful. Those are your words.
Musberger does think Romo should not diagnose the plays before they happen. The at part he doesn't like because it steps on the play by play some.
he just says slow down the hype train a little.

In the end, the VAST majority say he's doing great. That has to be taken onto context that he's a rookie at the job.

Tony Romo is off to a fantastic start in the booth. He’s received rave reviews from across the NFL world, particularly for his ability to diagnose plays before they happen.

But not everyone is a fan. Broadcasting legend Brent Musburger, who knows a thing or two about calling games, says Romo has a lot to learn about the business.

“Tony, get off it. First of all, you’re intruding on your play-by-play man Jim Nantz, who’s just trying to give us the scene … and the more years you spend away from the league, you’re going to know less and less about the personnel that’s out on the field. So I’m blowing a ‘stop the hype’ right now.”

Musburger’s first point is a valid one. Romo does have tendency to speak at the wrong times during a broadcast. But he’s still learning, and we can expect him to stop doing that as he gains more experience.

Musburger loses me on his second point. As long as Romo continues to study and properly prepare for games, he’ll remain knowledgeable about the personnel on the field. Jon Gruden and Cris Collinsworth have had no problems doing so.

I tend to agree with Musburger’s overall point. Romo has been hyped up a little too much, but there’s no denying that he’s doing a good job for someone with no prior broadcasting experience. He’ll only get better.
