When\u00a0Tony Romo<\/a>\u00a0joined Jim Nantz in the CBS\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0broadcast booth in 2017, he was a breath of fresh air. The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback knew all the players intimately, had boisterous excitement, and was so in tune with the game he developed a reputation for predicting plays before they happened. Romo's unique approach to announcing earned him\u00a0a massive contract<\/a>\u00a0from CBS to keep him at the network through at least 2025. Now, six years removed from his time in the locker room, though, Romo is no longer as plugged in as he used to be, and it shows in the booth. The predictions are down, and the wild enthusiasm is up. And that concerns his CBS bosses, who had an “intervention” for Romo to get him back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since Tony Romo signed his 10-year, $180 million deal with CBS, his performance in the booth alongside\u00a0Jim Nantz<\/a>\u00a0has slipped. As he moved further from his career, his knowledge of the players and the game decreased. And what was initially seen as enthusiasm that was unique and different now seems sloppy as Romo seemingly uses excitement to cover up his lack of in-depth knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On\u00a0The Marchand and Ourand Sports Media Podcast<\/em><\/a>, New York Post\u00a0sports media insider Andrew Marchand<\/a>\u00a0explained the situation and revealed CBS executives are concerned enough about the issues that they staged an “intervention” in the offseason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Tony Romo needs to study more. He needs to be better prepared because as you move away from the sidelines, it's not studying tape, you need to do more work,” Marchand shared. “And I know CBS is aware of this. They tried an intervention last offseason \u2026 but it has not gotten better, and it's a problem.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marchand's co-host, John Ourand, added, “There's kind of a fine line between unconventional and undisciplined, and he just does appear to be undisciplined at times. We've heard those stories about him just not preparing enough for the telecast.”<\/p>\n\n\n\nCBS is concerned about Tony Romo regressing as an announcer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
