Tony Romo this past weekend was heralded for his ability to seemingly call plays before they happened. Some fans prefer a color analyst that stays quiet and lets the play happen without commentary.
But many prefer his knowledge of the game. He seems to know when Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes would make a certain audible or when either head coaches called a play. It’s quite masterful, and no commentator in any other sport can match it.
When Richard Dietsch of the Athletic had asked Romo about his potential future in the NFL.
Romo told Dietsch in an excerpt from the story:
“You are 38 years old, younger than some of the quarterbacks playing in the National Football League. When was the last time someone contacted you with a legitimate offer to play?
There are legitimate contract offers and there are, “Hey, what are you thinking?” (laughs).”
When asked why he’s a successful broadcaster, Romo had a detailed response explaining his expertise:
“I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I do think in some ways I have studied the game for 20 years and, at my core, I have tried to improve and get better at football. I think that has really helped me do this job, where I just know a lot of stuff that I have thought about over the years. It gives you a history…”
Romo is a former quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. Although he never had any playoff success, Romo’s efficiency as an all-around consistent quarterback had been on display for nearly a decade. For his career, he had a 78-49 record with 248 touchdowns and 117 interceptions.
