re: I’m so grateful for Romo

Romo's insight and enthusiasm is John Madden-esque.

All we need now is for Romo to star in a light beer commercial, crashing through the background at the end, saying, "And another thing!," and the succession will be complete.

His enthusiasm is great.

Yes it is. It's nice to hear genuine enthusiasm for the game as opposed to the fake manufactured crap that Tess spews on MNF.

Romo is really good at calling games. He's so much better than that frick stick POS Phil Simms and it's not even close.

he's been awesome IMO. Breaks down the game well and brings a lot of energy.

---

He's fantastic in the booth.

Romo is fine, but his constant insertion of what he would do or what they should do (in his opinion) is keeping him from being really good.

I mean dude you were just in the league for like a decade and won one or two playoff games, pretty obvious you don't have the answers.

That's what makes him interesting. All those guys think very similarly. Knowing what to do and having the talent to actually do it are two different things. You get insight into what is probably going through the heads of the coaches and players.

Does he say too much sometimes, maybe, but it's infinitely better than some waterhead up there repeating what's essentially coach speak

Funny thing is so many folks complain about boring/brain dead/obvious commentary, then turn around and bellyache when Romo actually imparts knowledge about the game during the broadcast.

I don’t get the joe buck hate so many people have. Aikman just sounds like he’s had a thousand concussions though. I enjoy romo and the Sunday night crew too. MNF is tough to get through this year with the weird halftime music bullshite, and booger vs witten fighting for air time

romo never shuts the frick up

It's obvious he literally playing the game in his head as he broadcasts. I personally love it. Knowing what a QB is looking at or what they're missing.
Yes, granted he's given the benefit of hindsight but he never waffles and will often blame the QB.

I for one like the fresh and honest approach.

Tess

Every play is called as if it's a 90 yard pick six to win the game as time expires.

2 yard gain on a running play or 5 yard loss on a sack...it's the exact same

quote:

---

But sometimes just let the action speak for itself.

This is something that he will develop after more time in the booth imo
