Tony Romo Has Lost It | Jan 12, 2026

Show notes

The one thing that Tony Romo had over Tom Brady was his beloved status as a voice of the NFL. No more.

The GOAT continues to work and get better as a broadcaster and I don’t know WTF Romo is doing but it’s not research. And forget overpaid coaches/players in College Football. Tony Romo making $18 million a year is criminal.
