Finally, a note on those reports of Tony Romo being spoken to by CBS executives. There’s no denying that Romo has had some strange media moments over the years, but more recently, he’s been accused of slacking on the job. The job, it must be said, that pays him $17 million a season to do (via the New York Post).
As noted on “The Colin Cowherd Podcast,” Romo does at times appear unprepared. “Romo sounds like sometimes — and he’s entertaining — he’s winging it,” Cowherd mused. In light of that, the New York Post reported that CBS leadership had set aside time to speak with the former quarterback. Granted, the network rubbished the idea that it was ever that serious, telling the outlet, “To call this an intervention is a complete mischaracterization, we meet regularly with our on-air talent.”
As has been the case throughout his career, Romo’s nearest and dearest have been quick to come to his defense. In addition to the CBS rebuttal, Romo’s co-anchor, Jim Nantz has made a point of praising him for Sports Illustrated‘s “SI Media Podcast.” “Tony has his way of watching a game, and it’s fun. There’s a magnetism with Tony, there’s an excitement,” he gushed. One thing’s for sure: even if Romo has had some shady moments, those close to him are always down to put in a good word.
