Tony Romo helps his broadcast partner Jim Nantz potentially triple his salary


Big Turk

Recommended Posts

Nantz was flirting with leaving CBS for ESPN with his contract due to expire this summer and wanted more than Romo was making to stay...a fair deal considering he has been the voice of just about every CBS sports event from the Masters to the NCAA tourney to the NFL and does it year round while Romo only does the NFL...

 

Nantz was making 6.5 million while Romo was making 17.5 million...

 

CBS wanted to keep him and apparently agreed to his demands as he resigned a deal to stay with both sides mutually wanting to extend the partnership...

 

Must feel great to triple your salary with one stroke of a pen...but I am pretty sure he is going to be on the hook for all the dinners with him and Romo this year hahaha

The funny thing is that Romo immediately began to suck as soon as he got that contract. I still remember the game where Dak got hurt. Dude's foot is pointing 90 degrees in the wrong direction. Romo says "If you're a Cowboys fan, you hope it's just a cramp"

 

 

He did it again later but it escapes me right now. And those cool insights and play predictions seemed to vanish.

Romo is so unbelievably overrated

 

I have to agree with this. It's required for at least 2 people in the room to mention how great Romo is for some reason. And this is before the game starts.

Ya I’m starting to think that.
 

They must have told him to tone down the pre snap reads though. The first few years he was doing it like all the time and I loved it personally.

 

But the last few years not so much at all. You got to wonder if the league told him to tone it down.

 

Now if they can only tell him to tone down the Pat Mahomes love fest.

Right. His ability to predict plays was cool, and people are holding on to it when they think of him. Without that, he's really just annoying and a lot of time cringe worthy.

Romo was bad last year. It does seem like he's not trying.

I also liked his pre-snap reads.

 

And I fixed the last sentence.
