Glad to see Tony get his due. He deserves it.

I talk about romo at the 1:11 mark.

Romo is earning more than any of his Cowboys QB years, and with an intact spine to boot.

Sounds unrealistic. Is it Monopoly money? Seriously just think about it. Yes Romo is cool and a great QB but c’mon. That’s stupid money.. How much do the other legends make? 1.5 to 3 million per? It just seems excessive...

In fact, he’s making more than any cowboys QB in history (aside from a couple of spike cap hit years of his own)

I wonder if they were going to franchise tag him ....

I'm glad he stayed with CBS because MNF isn't what it used to be anyways.

Highest paid = No. 1 analyst
This will likely be his best route/ticket to HOF......

Nice. I didn't think of that.

My sentiments exactly,,, ESPN is a freaking dumpster fire, just hiring Romo wouldn't fix everything. Glad he avoided it.

Good for Romo...He’s really good at it. Well deserved.

 

[NotForLong]

I came here to see all the haters come out in full force

 

[Hadenough]

Good for Romo! He has been successful at whatever he does. He may not of won a SB but just making it to the NFL and being an NFL starting QB has made him a winner.

LLLOOOLLL, my favorite right here. LLLOOOLLL

 

[NotForLong]

Pleasantly surprised there are none

 

[Fastpitch Dad]

He makes the games fun and teaches young fans and some old ones about the game
We haven’t had anyone like him since Madden

100% agree, well said.

Now just need that Pat S. to round out with Tony, like John Madden had.

All money in sports is stupid money, from the owners down through the players.

They've made it so the average family cannot attend games. Until people stop going, buying merchandise, etc. these numbers will continue to rise.

One of many reasons why I don't curse, throw things, and all the other dumb things I did when I was younger. It's not the same as it was when I was a kid.

Lol. Romo getting paid. I like listening to him.
