ESPN ready to spend ‘crazy money’ in NFL, Tony Romo bidding war

Romo is contractually allowed to speak with other networks in March if he and CBS have failed to come to an agreement by then, according to sources.
If this happens, ESPN will be CBS’ main competition in what may end up being the most lucrative sports commentator negotiations in TV history.
What is already certain is that Romo will surpass John Madden’s NFL TV analyst record of $8 million per year, according to sources, and will exceed $10 million. Maybe by a lot.
ESPN plans to make a serious run at Romo for “Monday Night Football” as it heads into its NFL rights negotiations in which it hopes to add a second package of games to pair with “Monday Night Football.” Most importantly, it wants to become part of the Super Bowl rotation.
Disney/ABC/ESPN is prepared to spend “crazy money,” according to sources, to land more NFL and their quest will begin with going hard after Romo.

The idea that Romo could end up making four times as much as he did last year — $12 million per year — is quite plausible. Maybe more.

frick this shite. The super bowl shouldn’t be on cable. Neither should the national championship game. Put that shite on abc.

And turn him loose. Don’t filter him or tell him to tone it down like CBS did. If they can parlay this into him doing a “The Details” like show on ESPN+ where he breaks down the tell of the tape of a MNF game on Wednesday, I’m all in for it.

CBS should be in negotiations with Augusta National to allow Romo to be added to the Masters telecast.
Then again, ESPN covers the first two rounds, so they could also dangle that carrot.
Supposedly Nantz and Romo have become good friends out of the booth. ESPN is offering so much money because it’s going to take a lot to break up the Natnz-Romo team. Romo doesn’t want to leave CBS, but everyone has a price.

lol. I'd just as soon listen with the sound off or listen to Kevin Harlan on the radio call.

I will never not laugh at the ridiculousness of ESPN firing a shite load of long time experienced on air and behind the scenes talent b/c they claim they are losing too much money even though they are still by far the most profitable cable network, having their production quality clearly drop to the point that people regularly call it out, and then deciding the way to make everyone forget the decrease in quality is to give insane over the top money to people like Stephen A Smith who blatantly doesn't known much about the sports they have him cover or Tony Romo who while great at calling a game can't make up for the fact that MNF no longer gets the premier NFL match ups.

I def appreciate Romo's skill as a broadcaster.
But I have to wonder about spending big money for anaylsts/announcers. I don't think I've ever watched (or not watched) a sporting event based on who's in (or not in) the booth.
