Would be a great move. I like Booger, but he needs to be doing SEC games again.

 

[CAT Scratch FVR]

Crazy. I don't watch a game because of the announcers.

 

[Henogee1975]

Romo is great, Booger should be in studio doing SEC analysis. He is fantastic at that.

Romo is an awesome color commentator. Although I do think that Collinsworth is better.

Hope Romo takes the cash! He’d be good on MNF.

 

[UpstateNYCat]

Going to pair him with Beth Mowins? Stay @CBS, he'll be overkill on ESPN and 'merica will be tired of him even sooner.

Don’t do it Romo

 

[funKYcat75]

Let's also let this sink in a little bit. Some promo shoots. A little work on Sunday meeting with coaches, get to the stadium about 4:30 on Monday, talk about the thing you love more that anything that isn't your own family, ........ make 10-14 MILLion dollars. I'm sure he'll have to show up on the SportCenter set every once in a while, but that is a damn nice job.

Probably free tickets to Disney World anytime he wants too.

Not a Collinsworth fan, I'd rather Al Michaels do the game alone.

Already looking forward to the Romo promo's....does that mean I have Romo FOMO?

 

[UpstateNYCat]

Spielman still with ESPN? He's one of the best out there for college, not sure he's done NFL.

 

[BankerCat12]

ESPN is racist if this happens

It will be said

 

[Ryan Lemonds Hair]

Is it in the contract that he has to become a Duke fan?

 

[Glenn's Take]

It's crazy how good Romo is. I was mad Sunday during the Chiefs game when they got a false start penalty on a 3rd and goal when he was saying which trick play they were going to run before it happened. I wanted to see if he was right but I bet he would have been.
That being said, I haven't watched a Monday night game in a decade and who is announcing the game is not likely to change that so I hope he stays with CBS.

The Monday night package is inferior to the Sunday afternoon or Sunday night packages. It often comes down to money, but does he really want to announce Cardinals/Bucs games on Monday night?

Completely agree.

 

[funKYcat75]

You have to think that they will try to get better games given a better and more expensive broadcast lineup.

He also has been trying to be a pro golfer
Which considering how little he’s played golf compared to most tour players he’s pretty good

 

[Glenn's Take]

I'm all for people making as much as they can but I just don't see how he is worth a million dollars a week to CBS.

I agree. You’re either going to watch the game or your not. Announcers have very little to do with it.

I would prefer a John Madden hologram.
