Football Watching Tony Romo is insufferable anymore. - Page 10

Sofa King · 12:51 PM

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:

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.

I'm just tired of the new generation of announcers stepping on the moment to hear themselves talk. Let the game speak for itself. AL Michaels understands that.

Unfortunately, Al is 78 years old. He's gotta be close to done. And that's a shame.

When it’s all said and done his most iconic moment will be calling the 1980 Olympic hockey game between the USA and Soviet Union and the “Do you believe in miracles?” quote.

I think Tony Romo wanted to say a racial slur. “You got three ___” Unacceptable. #CINatKC pic.twitter.com/zdA0iPTHDn

CBS tried to do an “intervention” with Romo last offseason to get him to prepare better and not suck… guess that didn’t work.

CBS had attempted an “intervention” with broadcaster Tony Romo in advance of the 2022 season, but things “did not get better” per @AndrewMarchand

Romo signed a 10-year, $180 million contract with CBS in 2020 after rising quickly to start his career but suffered a decline since. pic.twitter.com/ct4BLC5rNQ

Is that it? He's not preparing?

Seems like it. The guy doesn't break shit down anymore. He's doing Brooke Pryor-type of "feel good" crap and driving stupid ****ing QB narratives about Josh Allen and Burrow.

Spott · 02-02-2023, 09:21 PM

Tony Romo is going to be a dream compared to listening to Brady call games.

Can't say I blame him. At first he was pretty much predicting plays perfectly and he caught flak for that both from fans and his producers. At that point **** it, if I'm going to get shit on regardless I'm just winging it.

Bad free agent signing, who would have ever thunk?

He predicted OUR plays perfectly. In like one game.

He's been ****ing wrong on everything since the 2018 AFC Championship game.

There's a happy medium between sitting there trying to predict shit like an asshole and just sticking to stupid sportstalk TV narratives.

Tons of guys do it the right way. Greg Olsen is one. Troy Aikman is boring as ****, but he does the job he's supposed to do. Just do what they do.
