Tony Romo Responds To Broadcast Criticism: ‘That’s Just Noise’

This season, Tony Romo’s broadcasting has come under fire, particularly when he called the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship Game for CBS.

Tony Romo Responds To Broadcast Criticism: ‘That’s Just Noise’

Despite originally being regarded as the NFL’s second-best colour analyst, Romo has drawn some criticism from fans this season, who claims, among other things, that he frequently states the obvious.

The last thing an analyst should say is that Romo has been publicly acknowledging that he doesn’t know what happened on specific plays.

But, speaking with BroBible, Romo discussed how he can’t please everyone at the end of the day.

“You’re always trying to do the right thing. At the core, there are just more people now who feel like telling me how they think I’m doing. I have people coming up to me on the street far more than my first couple of years,” he said.

Romo broke down those conversations.

“At first, they’d mostly tell me how much they love to listen to me and all these positives, so it’s fun,” he began. “When you’re young and you come out and you’re good, then you’re dealing with more expectations. You find out some people don’t like you and some people want you to do things differently and do this and that instead. You’ve gotta stay true to who you are.

“You can’t please everyone. I know that because the number of people who come up to me has quadrupled since the first two or three years. The thing is, the people who really love you aren’t gonna keep going out of their way to say, “I love you.” They’re not going to keep tweeting, ‘He’s the best,’ every week, right? So, that goes away and then you hear more negative stuff, but that’s just noise.”

According to a report that surfaced last week, CBS executives visited with Romo several times throughout the offseason in an effort to help him rediscover his enthusiasm for calling games with Jim Nantz.

Romo began his tenure at CBS in 2017 with a $180 million, 10-year contract. With his ability to correctly predict plays before they occurred and his authentic on-mic enthusiasm for the game, he quickly won the hearts of the crowd.

The Post also stated that since the “intervention” didn’t have the desired results this season, CBS management will meet again to see how they can address the problems with the Nantz-Romo duo.

Nantz and Romo are set to call Super Bowl LVIII next year in Las Vegas.
