F[]cking ridiculous.
Does anyone honestly make the choice, "oh so-so is calling the game I now must watch"?
Insanity.

Disagree, well-deserved imo. Maybe a bit biased cause I’m a Cowboys fan but good on Tony man.

A lot of this is just posturing for the league so that when the rights are up again CBS can say "we spend top dollar to program the NFL on our network and as a result we paint it in the best light."
If you're going to spend billions, might as well spend a few million more to curry favor. Wouldn't spend $1,000 on a suit and then go to Target for the belt and shoes.

Aikman's problem is he wasn't immediately awesome. I remember thinking he'd been concussed a few too many times when he first started, he is awesome now but on a more gradual ascent than Romo.

Agree. Took him a while to find his voice. He does the prep and has a lot of smart takes. He's the most honest analyst and I appreciate that. Other guys are too nice and protect their buddies.

A persons professional worth is exactly what someone is willing to pay them.
Have a feeling if they’re dropping that kind of cash on Romo it’s because someone else was chasing him hard.

I'm glad he's staying. Good fit with Nantz. Overall I prefer ESPN but there wasn't an obvious fit for him and too much chance they'd force Romo to do ridiculous stuff like the afternoon talk show garbage.
CBS needs to incorporate Romo into the golf coverage. You don't need to be a former playing pro or instructor to call that stuff.

I don’t understand why folks are critical or mad about this? It’s a salary! That’s it

Because he's not worth it imo. Like has been said, I don't watch a game just because he's on the broadcast. I don't turn the channel because he's not on the broadcast. None of the commentators make any difference to me. The commentators are not why I watch football. I can't watch the game without players but I sure can watch it with the sound off. Steven A. gets like 8 million a year and people watch his program because of him. CBS is paying Romo that insane amount and nobody is showing up because he's there.
