I guess he telling Romo to stop calling every play before it start as it can backfired on him. To be homest I don't want to hear an announcer call all the plays. If anything do what Madden was good for. Educate us on what's going on the field. At that point call a play or two as to what would be ideal in a situation.
Tony Romo has drawn rave reviews from many NFL fans during his first month calling NFL regular season games, but one legendary broadcaster has not been the slightest bit impressed with the former quarterback’s work.
Brent Musburger, who officially retired from calling games earlier this year to pursue a sports handicapping business, told the Vegas Stats & Information Network this week that he believes Romo is off to a terrible start.
“Tony, get off it,” Musburger said. “First of all, you’re intruding on your play-by-play man, Jim Nantz, whose just trying to give us the scene. We like to watch the game, OK? … The more years you spend away from the league, you’re gonna know less and less about the personnel that’s out on the field. So I’m blowing a ‘stop the hype’ right now.”

Brent Musberger, Irv Cross, Phyllis George, Jimmy the Greek,,, I loved that NFL pregame show as a kid, but I've always hated that weasel Musberger. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.
Wow! You mean we still have objective posters who don't attack the messagenger just because he's critical of a beloved Cowboy?Romo's mom doesn't even defend him as aggressive as Romo groupies on this board. WOW.. people need to chill and accept that some people don't like or don't care about Romo and have different opinion.
Having said that. I heard Romo once and I thought he was very good. Musburger is looking it from the text book of game commentary, he is ignoring the element of having a celebrity/famous former player in the booth. It attracts people/fans and I think many (if not most) viewers pay more attention to what that player says than the main commentator. My only take is his voice .. not a commentary voice (Don't shoot me)
Romo has been better than I expected. But I do not think he should be calling out plays before they happen. I think that's just showing off and it will get old. I'd rather watch the play happen and if something significant happens teach us about how that play developed, etc.Tony Romo has drawn rave reviews from many NFL fans during his first month calling NFL regular season games, but one legendary broadcaster has not been the slightest bit impressed with the former quarterback’s work.

I'm with you. I couldn't stand him when he did the College games. I don't watch a ton of College Football but I thought he was terrible. Felt like he overreacted to every play. He sounds like a jealous idiotLol I can't stand Musburger.
I hope he enjoys his temporary relevance.Tony Romo has drawn rave reviews from many NFL fans during his first month calling NFL regular season games, but one legendary broadcaster has not been the slightest bit impressed with the former quarterback’s work.

He was a Cowboys hater back in the day. He couldn't and didn't want to hide it.Brent Musberger, Irv Cross, Phyllis George, Jimmy the Greek,,, I loved that NFL pregame show as a kid, but I've always hated that weasel Musberger. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.
Wasn't Musburger that old creep who ogled AJ McCarron's wife?
Romo is probably doing what comes natural to him. If it's a problem, CBS needs to tell him so he can try a different approach.Romo has been better than I expected.
