Tony Romo's DUI

[creamery freak]

I was surprised that nobody posted about it yet. All I can say is what a way to pi$$ away an easy peasy career!

 

[NittanyPirate]

I think I heard that he shot a +35 that day on a difficult course.
You know what they say: shooting a +35 and getting a DUI later that day go hand-in-hand.

He won't be fired--his easy career will remain intact
He's an idiot for doing what he did but it won't hurt his career.

One more DUI and he'll equal his number of career playoff wins.

 

[Shepdogg]

I think he was +35 over a 3 day tournament. I would have called an Uber or my wife.

 

[BobPSU92]

Isn’t he usually drunk in the broadcast booth?

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

A first-offense Operating While Intoxicated (OWI)—the term for a DUI in Wisconsin—is generally treated as a civil traffic violation rather than a criminal crime. Standard penalties include fines of $150 to $300 (plus a mandatory $435 OWI surcharge), a 6-to-9-month driver's license revocation, and a mandatory alcohol assessment. Jail time is not required unless specific aggravating factors are present.

Don't know, but I take a shot every time he begins a sentence with "Jim ...". I'm usually plastered by the end of the first quarter.

He's lucky. A first time in Pennsylvania with no injuries to another person and no property damage is well over $2K.

Not true. I shoot a +35 or worse every single time I golf and have never once gotten a DUI.

Yeah poor attempt at humor.

I laughed.

Because no one cares.

hey come on its Wisconsin we drink differently up here we drink Wisconsibly so DUI treated a little more leniently......

 

[AvalonJohn]

Maybe he just figured out he and Jessica are heading for Splitsville?

 

[PSUForever]

I think he keeps his gig with CBS. The muckety mucks aren't happy but will deal with it. He's probably on double secret probation now.

Romo should have said his dad was a cop. My friend got pulled over 3x in one night and the cops let him go 3X.

My late Uncle was a District Magistrate. That helped for a few people in our family.

First thought, only thought, last thought after watching all of that. Romo seems like a really good guy. Always love when he is doing the 4:25 pm game and that next cocktail is more enjoyable than the first.

He would make for an excellent neighbor. Hope the network is kind.

I agree with all of the above, however having a 40 year old child with drinking problem and living in Retirement Village where 8 of 10 scheduled community activities have an alcohol theme there comes a time of accountability and reset .

Yeah, agree. Was just discussing his easy nature about the entire situation he created.

 

[ApexLion]

Great broadcaster -- very insightful during his games. Hope he learns a lesson.

 

[TheBigUglies]

Good grief!! Why is this even news? Why did they release the bodycam footage? Do they release body cam footage of all DUIs? Also, a friend mentioned this was predictable in Wisconsin because everyone is drunk all the time in Wisconsin.

 

[KingLando]

Agreed. The open bottle is really the only problem here. Guessing CBS will make him go to rehab

the very likely alcohol use disorder is the problem here, the open container is a symptom., When someone is pulled over for DUI they have usually been driving drunk many times before. Wonder if his drinking is an issue behind scenes at CBS

Good question--fair question
I disliked Romo as a QB but he has been very good in this role

Are you really someone who should be passing judgement on Tony Romo's DUI?

Your demons, personal and professional, are well-documented on this board and others.

Sounds about right. (I’ve had my share of issues with drinking.)

Very weak effort BWLion. Your stalking and doxing game is really kinda pathetic! Literally have no idea what you are talking about.

 

[OUIrPSU]

Yeah poor attempt at humor.

You are correct. I should’ve mentioned that +35 was on the front nine.
