Football Watching Tony Romo is insufferable anymore. - Page 5

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

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.

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

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

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.

BWillie · 01-15-2023, 04:00 PM

He is fine. Everyone hates everybody.

ThyKingdomCome15 · 01-15-2023, 04:00 PM

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?

Jerm · 01-15-2023, 04:12 PM

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