I like romo takes. It hard to me to say cause i hated him as a cowboys qb but he's a good color guy.

I turn down the volume when Romo's doing the game.

He's the best color guy the NFL has right now. Insightful and technical. If you believe he is the reason the Chiefs are losing I have a couple of Jobu dolls for sale.

I think he does a good job, but he shouldn’t do Cowboy games. The nicknames/inside info make it sound as if he is a homer even if he is being objective.

Romo is outstanding. I'm easily impressed with most of the announcers out there who have regular jobs broadcasting, especially in major league baseball, which is full of great announcers, in my opinion. But even for me, an easy grader, Romo is exceptional for his great insights, his very natural and easy communication style, and his candor. For someone so early in his broadcasting career to be so strong is exceptional. He reminds me a little bit of Bob Costas, who also had a very quick trajectory into the top tier of sports announcers, doing national broadcasts of major league baseball for NBC's Game of the Week as a 30 year-old.

For the youngsters who may not remember the big splash early in his career that Costas had made, here's a silly interview with him, the year after he won the 1985 National Broadcaster of the Year. He was (and I believe still is) the youngest person ever to win that award, which he won another seven times (and counting).
https://www.washingtonpost.com/archi...=.1365b04e5486 One thing I remember very vividly about Bob Costas and his early success was his answer to a question about whether he might have risen to the top without having "paid his dues". He said that there was no one to pay them to. That really impressed me. If you can be among the best at your profession, then go be it. You don't owe anybody anything. Anyway, Romo strikes me as someone who is shaking up the industry in a good way. Here's an USA Today article about his style and whether he is doing things correctly, a sure indication that he's exceptional. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/09/cbs-...rts-say-yes-no Lots of credit should go to Jim Nantz for working so well with Romo. Jim Nantz has also won multiple National Sportscaster of the Year awards. |

He honestly does a great job understanding what is coming up. Andy should watch the game with him commentating and see how easy an announcer picks us apart so he can get a clue on how to call something much more unpredictable.

All truth. Makes you wonder why he didn't go into coaching.

No it doesn’t. It is a very easy decision to make. More $ and more free time to be in the broadcast booth.

If the Chiefs had even the current version of Romo, they'd have a chance to win the SB this year instead of basically none (not that Alex is this team's primary problem but he limits them). He's also a pretty great announcer too.
