Watching Tony Romo is insufferable anymore.
 

He doesn't do any of the stuff he did that first year. Doesn't break down the plays, doesn't play Romostradamus, etc. He just takes a ball washing angle on a few players and plays contrarian on any big plays that could go either way. He's never right on those either.

Today after a completed pass by Allen he says "And that's why they call him Mr. January!"

Who says that? Has anyone ever heard that? lol. They can't say that each of the last two years for sure after we beat them.

EDIT: LMAO LMAO My brother just sent this link. Someone else apparently agrees with me. There's some tweets in it too.

Tony Romo tried to pay Josh Allen a compliment with a new nickname, but we’re pretty sure this one isn’t going to stick… yet.

In his young NFL career, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has played six NFL playoff games in January. His 3-3 record is apparently enough to earn him the title of “Mr. January,” that is, if you ask CBS color commentator Tony Romo.

To be fair, Allen does have a 106.6 passer rating, an average of over 285 yards per game, 14 touchdowns and 1 interception, but in January the thing that matters most is simple: Wins. To give Allen such a nickname while calling the first quarter of the Wild Card game between the Dolphins and Bills was probably a bit of a leap.

Nicknames used to mean something! They were earned!

Of course, if what he meant was that Allen has yet to get his team to February, well, that’s technically true.

Fans were not a fan of this nickname and took to Twitter to roast Romo for naming him that.

Fans roast Tony Romo for giving Josh Allen the nickname of “Mr. January”
Technically the truth fits here:
Maybe this will be the year for Allen and the Bills:
Have you ever tried to get something to catch on? It’s hard work!
Stop trying to make Mr. January happen!
As far as a better candidate for the title, right now it’s probably Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is 7-2 compared to Allen’s 3-3 in January playoff games.
Remember, Romo’s playing career only consisted of two playoff wins, so while he’s one of the smartest and more entertaining color commentators, his personal playoff experience isn’t the most expansive.
That in mind, maybe we can cut him some slack for the nickname.

Yep

He's already worse than Joe Buck somehow.

Never thought I'd say that. Just impressive what a queermo blabber mouth he is.

All the fun stuff that Romo brought to the table his first year has been eradicated.

Now he is just insufferable and a fanboy.

Don't you think that just maybe you really want the Bills to get eliminated and Josh Allen does amazing shit and you don't want to see it and you don't want to hear about it so when he ball-washes Allen it grates on your nerves?

Because he does the same thing for Mahomes.

I would rather guys like Romo and Collinsworth than 99% of the trash heap that is NFL commentators. Yeah no thanks OP.

I’ve read that they (meaning the CBS producers, I guess) actually told him to tone it down on the Romostradamus stuff.

They refuse to admit Allen’s flaws.

I knew someone would bring this up. The problem is I hate him during Chiefs games too. He says the exact same shit every single week. He's Collinsworth which even shittier takes but a less annoying voice.

I used to like both Romo and Collinsworth. They both are insufferable now. Collinsworth thinks every player he comments on is the best in the NFL. It gets old.

I wondered about this. People loved it so it only makes sense that CBS would take it away.

Now here's a guy....

I wish he’d just go to the sidelines and blow Allen at this point and get it over with…

It's hilarious that you think announcers should talk about players' flaws instead of hyping them up.

They announce the game and try to highlight things people should be excited to watch. To make money.

If you want to talk about flaws there are shows all week that will do this for you.

It definitely seems like he’s no longer bringing nearly as much insight as he used to.

Seems like he really prepared that first year then he got paid and doesn't care now.

He's like the commentator version of Albert Haynesworth

Difference is Mahomes has actually earned that. Mahomes has two first team All Pros, one league MVP (about to have his second one), two SB appearances, one SB win, one SB MVP, and two wins over Allen in the playoffs. Allen has?

I agree, and glad you made this thread, because I was thinking about posting that question in the GDT.

I liked Romo from the start, but recently I’ve been asking myself: Has he declined, or have I just gotten used to him and the freshness has worn off?

I think he’s declined.

Yep, it's painful.

Just because Mahomes is the best to ever play the game doesn't mean Allen isn't great also

I don't mind WATCHING him, it's the LISTENING to him I can't stand anymore.

Would you call a .500 playoff QB Mr. January?

The producers did this to him. He's a paid shill now. Sad...

The Mr January shit was fed to him to say to beef up Allen.

Josh Allen is such a punk.

A lot of people didn't love it.

And he was wrong quite a bit. People just remember the right calls. It was annoying hearing him trying to predict what each play would be.

He has always been annoying, this isn't his first year being that.

Don’t disagree and I have been very vocal in the fact that I would take Allen over any QB in the league not named Mahomes. But to give Allen the title Mr. January based on beating Mac Jones and possibly Skylar Thompson doesn’t make him Mr. January.

Yeah that's fair

Every single nfl former player and coach could break down and predict plays if they wanted. For some reason the league doesn’t want them to do it.

I wouldn’t get too fired up directly towards romo.

In my opinion, the changes we’ve seen are more of a reflection of the coaching/direction hes getting from the program director, etc

The dumb networks think they need to cater to lowest common denominator, when in reality, most watchers like the inside info/breakdowns.

I used to enjoy his games but he is insufferable anymore.

The Romostradamus crap wasn't even that great to begin with and not the mark of a great color commentator.

Besides, he's not even Romostradamus. He's been WRONG on every ****ing play prediction since roasting Bob Sutton on his predictability.

**** is this guy talking about on that INT

He’s cringe. Joe buck is 100 times better

Apparently Josh Allen is Jesus Christ according to Tony

That's pretty funny.

Exactly. They are there to guide the normal, basic football fan through the game and make it enjoyable. Romo still breaks stuff down for the casual fan which I appreciate.

It ain't CP if we're not complaining about something

Circle the wagons while Josh shits his pants

Joe knows how to STFU. In our SB win he’s not blabbering and freaking out every play. Especially the ending

Still my #1 most hated guy.

He's balsa wood

Or commenting on people complaining.

"HERE COME THE BULLIES! HERE COMES THE ONSLAUGHT!

Oh, I was wrong. Here comes the fumble touchdown." LMAO

He's eating crow LIVE and in person.

Still take Romo over Dungy. Dungy might as well been calling a bingo game at the senior center on Saturday.

Yeah, that’s true.

He just needs to tone it down a bit...he sounds like those grating analyst voices on the football video games that repeat the same recorded schtick over and over.

Wipe those tears out of your goatee boy

ROFL Clown.

Once he starts ball washing Patrick you’ll be OK with it. He loves Mahomes.

Speaking of complaining the QT in Pleasant Valley doesn’t have their glory hole anymore where’s the next best option

Come over and hot glue sum cardboard on my butthole

He doesn’t seem to possess the ability to describe basic plays as being basic plays. He just won’t shut up.

I couldn't care less about that. He's a terrible commentator these days.

No matter what happens Romo can’t help commenting on Allen. Skylar misses a deep shot and Romo has to say that Allen makes that throw.

Not enough for my tastes.

If he's gonna ball wash Allen THIS much, we should be getting a non stop feed of Mahomes love.

He doesn't do that.

I've said early and often that he's Madden 2.0. And I don't mean that as a compliment. Madden never shut up. And Romo never shuts up. He's another massively overrated blathering jackass who endlessly runs his mouth. Still waiting for him to break out the clicker. And while Madden was somewhat offset by Pat Summerall, Romo is the baby nobody puts in a corner.

It's a damn shame too, because he is very knowledgeable. He was awesome in his first couple of seasons as a commentator. But now he's a babbling, ballwashing douche who has become so full of himself that even Joe Buck is somehow a bit less annoying.

He’s Collinsworth bad.

He's gone far beyond Collinsworth.

I hope Fox manages to lure him away from CBS, so that he'll mostly ruin NFC games.

Mr. January LMAO:LOL:LMAOLMAO I had to do a doubletake WTF?

That’s a feat.

We've all come to accept that Romo is a gasbag, but I never expected Nantz to show his ass like this

There has only been one time I've enjoyed listening to Joe Buck and that was when he was interviewing Artie Lang.

Dude does get excited but he knows more about offense than just about anybody they’re putting on the box nowadays. Yes, he can be annoying at times, maybe most of the time but compared to the other color guys he’s as good as it gets.

It’s called the “Mute” button.

Nantz’s golden voice is so soothing… if you’re watching the Masters and nodding off. Put Kevin Harlan with Romo, drop TrInt.

Bullshit he was right way more than wrong by far , and I can’t stand the ex cowpussy

BUFFALO’S SEASON CAN’T END HERE!!!

IT JUST CAN’T!

Watching football without the sound on, is like ****ing with a rubber... it just isn't the same

His hyperbole can be too much but he actually has insights into the Xs and Os that few else provide. Most the time I watch other announcers I feel I could do the same job.

He is fine. Everyone hates everybody.

He use to be great, IDK.

I feel like he provides less and less of that. His first season was amazing.

I don't get the Joe Buck hate. Is it something to do with obsession with Bumgarner in the 2014 WS?

I loved how he kept calling the Bills “the champs”….uh of ****ing what lol?

That, and he is an insufferable pompous prick.

He hates anything KC related

He was horrible today

Me either. One of the best to be honest. Very good for the casual fan. Bad for a die hard fan.

Other than he has turned into the never stop talking guy, his takes are terrible. During the Bills/Dolphins game, he made a comment about what would happen if the Dolphins went for it on 4th down and didn't make it instead of kicking. He said that the Bills would get the ball back with 1:19 left and after the FG, got the ball back with 1:15.

Amazing analysis. He used to be interesting and now it seems like he just likes to hear the sound of his own voice. Maybe this is what the NFL wants, I find it tedious and boring.

Not sure if Romo is top 5 of the worst commentators.
