Tony Romo parts ways with CBS Sports after OWI arrest

sportsOct 2, 202623789

CBS Sports and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo have mutually agreed to part ways after Romo was arrested in July for operating while intoxicated. CBS announced Romo will not return as an NFL game analyst after having been on leave following the arrest. The network described the separation as a mutual decision and confirmed the end of Romo's broadcasting role with CBS. Romo had been a high-profile analyst on CBS NFL broadcasts; the network said the move follows the legal incident in July. The departure closes Romo's tenure at CBS and removes him from the network’s NFL analyst roster going forward.

Tony Romo is out at CBS over his DUI. Yet another drive resulting in a game-losing fumble.

CBS has standards, DWI you’re out. Support a rapist President, you’re the new reporter on 60 Minutes.

Still can’t understand in this day and age why these people with plenty of money don’t just pay for a driver or Uber like the rest of us

I think Charlotte just hammered Romo harder than any NFC East defense ever did.

So...like...it's bad that Tony Romo got a DUI, but compared to the actions & statements of certain other broadcasters (including statements made on the air), it's pretty odd that he's getting forced out over it

Like, if I were the NFL or a major TV network, I'd find the exchange between Kirk Herbstreit & Al Michaels last night to be far worse to the league &/or network.

I mean, there’s been rumors about Romo being hammered on the job for years now, I think the DUI might just be the publicly available excuse for already strained private issues.

It just shows that genuinely sucking as a broadcast professional matters more to the powers that be than moral failings. They didn't want to keep paying him for what they were getting, were handed an excuse.

Just about the money, they wanted out of his deal.

Tony Romo fucked up by waiting until *after* he was a starting quarterback to drunk drive Deshaun Watson can molest half the women in Cleveland and get paid $230 million for his troubles www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

tony romo had it all and could’ve gone all the way to a storied career in broadcast but he derailed it and flamed out with an arrest. he truly embraced the dallas cowboys ethos.

Maybe Tony Romo should have sexually assaulted a dozen women instead of driving drunk, then the NFL media industrial complex would be lining up to give him a ticker tape parade.

You aren't allowed to talk about the NFL if you've had a DUI but you are allowed to play in the NFL if you are a rapist.

Tony Romo getting released as the Skydance merger goes through is fascinating. He had $72 million (!!) left on his deal & they wrote a big check to get him off the books. Almost like he was rewarded for that DUI.

The irony of Tony Romo getting canned the same year that CBS finally isn't broadcasting Bills-Chiefs, aka the Shut Up Tony Romo Bowl, is... well it's definitely a kind of irony.
