Yeah, I caught that..he's a soft spoken guy, he may need to elevate it come game day. Granted, I realize he's at a golf tourney
Yep..

Bombastic was not his approach.

And it wasn't football so he was not trying to take away from the commentators any.

He was being informative but off on the side.

He should be fine.

I know he will be great at th booth stuff but that doesn't make it right.

Would love to see him snap it up for another few seasons even with another team (that I don't loathe). Love him, hate him, or indifferent, he is one of the most exciting Qbs to watch in the game and class act. The league is lesser for him not playing.

When did he come on during the broadcast? I just started watching yesterday coverage from the beginning. It is only Nantz and Faldo at the start.

I am not a fan of golf, especially watching , so wasn't going to watch it just to hear tony in his debut.
I will wait until football season.

We all enjoyed what he did.

His health like most players was just not allowing him to play at a certain point.

With all the back issues my fear for him was the possibility of paralysis with the next hit.

Now I can listen and watch with no fear.

Happy.

Agree. I really wanted him to play 2-3 more seasons in Houston but between the preparation and grind with the back injuries in addition to moving/juggling family life in a new city... thats a lot to deal with this late in a career. I have 0 doubts he would be at Cowboys OTAs had he been reinserted into the starting lineup when healthy last year.

Saw him today on the golf broadcast for CBS.

Really looks like a keeper commentator.

Congrats, Tony.

See you this summer.

I was glad to hear how you enjoyed Romo's broadcasting during that golf game on CBS. Of course, the broadcasting style for a gold tournament is understandably going to be different for golf as compared to pro football.

No doubt, we're all aware how golfers are super sensitive about excess noise interfering with the players' concentration and their swing. Getting loud and boisterous would surely be viewed as a mortal sin for that venue. Talking at nearly a whisper is standard procedure for golf broadcasting.

I'm confident that he'll be coached not to be overly laid back and display more emotion for pro football. Also, for sure, we're all looking forward to seeing him broadcast football games for CBS. It'll be fascinating to see how he fares when the time comes. I think he'll do fine.

He looks fat.

He'll be a great commentator in the regular season, but he'll start to fall apart once the playoffs roll around.

Thank you @Romonater for providing that video. I missed the original broadcast, out with family and friends enjoying me weekend.
