Big Turk Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) 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 https://www.yahoo.com/sports/jim-nantz-remaining-at-cbs-amid-reported-espn-overtures-000928295.html Edited March 26, 2021 by Big Turk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir andrew Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Romo's making 17 mil a year?? Geez, where have I been? Did he ever make that as a QB? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without that, he's really just annoying and a lot of time cringe worthy. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 is it me, or has Romo's voice gotten sort of rough the past year or so? always sounds like he has vocal issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mahomes is his new man crush though. Him and Nantz basically did half of the chiefs games this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
