re: Industry insiders expect that CBS will let Tony Romo go

I thought he sucked from day 1
This board was outraged and offended by that opinion

There paying him 18 million a year they call the shots

I still really like him in the booth.

I am certainly in the minority that I don't really care who is the color guy. It could be Kirk or Gruden or Romo or Brady or Olsen. Doesn't really matter that much to me when I'm watching a game honestly.

Although the Brady one bothers me because he isn't allowed to do his job to the full extent because he is partial owner of a team. The insanity that he legit can't do his job in full but they still pay him boggles my mind. But he is brought in for his knowledge of the game overall I guess and not the teams playing specifically

AI Madden/Summerall is what we all need

I half wonder if someone at CBS was tipping off the cops in locations where they knew he'd be drinking and driving.

But, a criticism is that he doesn't let the game breathe. Sometimes it's better to shut up

This isn’t just a Romo problem. It’s the majority of American announcers. They feel like they have to fill every space of dead air by just talking. They need to watch English soccer announcers. They are great at just letting things play out instead of trying to talk over everything.

To be fair, a big cause of this is because of how little football action is actually played during a full game broadcast I believe the average amount of game action for an NFL game is 10-20 minutes of a 3 hour broadcast. While soccer the ball is live for closer to an hour for a 2 hour broadcast

I don't get people that complain about booth guys. They have to be REALLY bad to matter me, like Aqib Talib.

It adds to the moment for me if the commentator is really emotional vis just going through the motions.

Compare:

Michigan State blocked punt against Michigan (2015)

vs.

Derrick Henry's 99-yard TD run against the Jaguars (2018)

AI has failed me terribly then. I even asked that a second time cause it seems wrong haha

Edit: we will say first then
