Romo replaces Phil Simms

[Vanilla2]

Wouldn't it be the other way around? Denver being AFC, Vanilla?

No. The road teams conference channel usually gets the broadcast.

Used to be always but Thursday night football changed that recently

Thanks for the clarification, brother. Thought it was the other way around.

Clearly I am in the minority, but I like Phil Simms as an announcer.

Yes you are, Lol

Who would've thought back in training camp that Romo would be the lead guy on CBS a year later?

 

[SDCowboy]

I'm happy for him. It's a good move, IMO.

Interesting to see how Tony does in this new job. He is so quiet and introverted. I guess he will grow into the job. I watch the NFL Network sometimes and its a lot of high energy smooze... that would be a tough job for a player like Romo.

 

[BigBlacKahuna]

Does this mean he will be on madden now, instead of phill Simms?

Jim Nance and Phil Simms were replaced on Madden last year.

 

[Hardline]

he wasn't going to land on the #1 team. Aikman and Buck have that locked up for a while

It still would've been better than an NBC job.

 

[rynochop]

Where is Simms going?

 

[dogunwo]

To be paired with Jim Nance.

So Romo is the color guy/analyst? Interesting.

I would have held out for a Fox gig.

How do the other broadcast teams for CBS feel about it. Romo was handed an "A" team spot. He didn't have to work his way up.

**** 'em

 

[Bowdown27]

Hahaha that's great.

Perfect for tony. Number one broadcast team and can do golf also.

Like football, broadcasting is a meritocracy. They wouldn't have given him that spot without running him through a tryout. If he stinks, he won't stay there very long.

The guy says "inside" and "outside" a million times a game. Nauseating.

Same here, Phil does a good job... and who the hell is Benjamin Allbright?

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

He also says "football" all the time to describe something, as if we aren't tuning in to watch a football game. Football player. Football team. Football game. When player, team and game would suffice.

I think you just described Garrett. You know, our head football coach of our football team

he didn't land at NBC, but would have loved to hear him with Al Michaels
