SalvadorsDeli Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I'm assuming this would be for both ESPN and ABC, right? Because that level of investment only really makes sense if Disney is planning on bidding big for a piece of the Sunday afternoon rights which would presumably be on ABC rather than ESPN. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nex_Gen Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) On one hand, Romo absolutely deserves it, as he has single handedly established himself as the GOAT broadcast analyst in just a few short seasons. On the other hand, I want him to put up a big fat middle finger to ESPN and everything they stand for today, and take a huge dump in the booth without ever having broadcast a game in it. Do the right thing Romo.. Edited January 13, 2020 by Nex_Gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 When Romo knows where the offense is going but the defensive coaches don't... that's good broadcasting. Best case is that ESPN offers him a bunch of money and CBS matches it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s be perfect Apparently he was quite lazy/unprepared a couple years ago when he tried to get into broadcasting. And then the Dolphins picked him up.

Dome Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 good for tony, i didn't realize how likeable of a guy he was until he got in the booth. i didn't have any negative connotations with him before, i just didn't realize how much i liked him.

3rivers Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 is he only calling NFL? If so, not a bad pay day for 5 months work I don't know why many hate on Booger, I like his style, a bit different and all is good fwiw . Is Booger staying on that team as well? Jim Nance will have to find another fellow pats fan to call games with. Maybe simms will return 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small Town Values Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I like it. Even if the Monday matchup sucks, it'd still tune in just to listen to Romo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be calling out offensive audibles being called before they even happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldfishwars Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Booger McFarland was asked about the possibility of Romo becoming the highest paid sportscaster in history and he said 'there's a chance he becomes the highest paid sportscaster in history.' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I have a good time listening to Booger. His PBP partner is a bad listen. Romo is fine. Hopefully he would get a different PBP guy than Booger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
