Tony on CBS **merged**

[yimyammer]

He sounds fat.

I was thinking it sounded like his cap was on backwards but you could be right, maybe both?

I bet Houston and NYJ wish they had traded for Romo.

Romo: "Kill kill...here comes a run to the left."

Run to the left.

 

[SAboys889]

I imagine CBS will frown on that going ahead.

Why, would they rather the typical "the offense would really like to score a touchdown here"?

If anything, he will provide real time education to fans. I liked it

 

[yimyammer]

Romo has knowledge and is doing good but I can't get over the voice. It needs to be more sharp or something, no personality to it at all. Is he battling a cold?

sounds meek

Run to the left.

I've been seriously impressed with his ability to call out some of their plays.

He has done well today. I'm happy for the guy.

He doesn't have the typical tv analyst timbre, but I think I could get used to it.

 

[Trouty]

Yeah he sure was terrible. Should have kept Carter.

BOOM

They shouldn't. Disgusting if they do. Wah, our CC gets excited.

Bring a little NHL CC to the game @haleyrules

lol. Tony has been great. What personality are you looking for, Liberace on helium?

Amen, Houston.

It's new and refreshing.

Get 'im, Yimy!

Personality in his voice, not him personally. It has gotten a lot better as the game went on.

We love it but casual fans dont want the game to be spoiled for them by the color guy telling them whats coming.

I'm enjoying listening to him, his voice is kind of soft and a little hard to hear at times. Don't know if thats a volume thing or what

Watched him from the pregame on. Saw nothing from his voice that lacked personality. Don't know what you were expecting.

He was sensational considering it his first game.

Just something to differentiate him from the rest is all. He is hard to understand at times(softer voice) but that is probably a CBS issue.

I don't know what it is, just can't put my finger on it. Maybe the even keel he is on with no high and low range, kind of a monotone thing.

Like I said, I don't know what sounded just a bit off...........

 

[Wezsh0T]

Tony's comments got better during the 2 minute drill. As a commentator he mirrors how he was as a QB = )

I don't think it would make that big of a difference if we're talking about a causal viewer. A guy calling a play and it happening just as he said it would seems like it would make it easier to see what is going on.

It would be worse if he was calling plays pre snap, and the opposite happened. As long as he calls the stuff correct, he should be fine. If anything he needs to work on his defensive color calling. His approach today was primarily from the offensive side of the ball. I guess that will come with more experience.
