    And now he's attacking the moderator for just doing their job.
    What a meltdown.
    Giant still triggered because I embarrassed the fukk out of him over those stupid ass WS futures bets he made.

    Giant...look bruh...no matter how hard you wish it to happen...laying $3k on your hometown Angels to win the WS isn't a wise move. I stand by my dumbfukk comments to this day.

    Retiring but still the backup QB.



    Tony Romo would reportedly return to Cowboys if team ever really needed him

    Romo didn't have talent around him? Step away from the crack pipe. Romo had some amazing teams and still chocked. Good QB, not great.......LOL! Now if someone would've said he had a bad HC and that prevented a possible Championship, i might agree.

    I wonder how much Romo will get paid doing this Broadcasting thing? He'd only retire if it was something BIG.

    Any report?

    Retired Cowboys QB Tony Romo has officially accepted CBS' lead analyst job.
    Romo will immediately slide in opposite Jim Nantz, replacing a much-maligned Phil Simms. Romo obviously has zero television experience, but Simms' Sunday broadcasting career began in similar fashion with NBC. It was unclear if Romo would call games on both Thursdays and Sundays, but it appears that will indeed be the case. Simms' role going forward is to be determined.

    Cowboys messed up not bringing him back when he was healthy. Would have beat GB, and ATL. I tried to warn the Dak lovers, but no dice. Wait until next year, and Cowboys fans will yearn for the days of Romo. I root for them secretly. Romo never got a fair shake. One of the best. Now they have an OLine, and he's gone. He never had anything around him, and a terrible D.

    Oh well. I think he will do well. Though, of course he will be hated by the usual suspects.

    I assume they could have worked something out. Romo made plenty of money, and probably wants to be able to function the rest of his life.

    You would think so. Obviously with a contender, and only two came up. So, I guess they just couldn't figure something out. I would take him in a heartbeat for a year. If the damn Raiders had traded for him as a backup then they would be the Champions. Obviously was never gonna happen, but I always hoped somehow it would. Had a weird feeling shit would hit the fan as usual, but money wise never would have worked of course.

    I thought he was going to the Texans for sure,would have made a lot of sense,they had everything else inplace.Would have been weird seeing Romo as a Raider no doubt.

    Glad I didn't do a prop bet on what team hed go to.

    Yeah, just a pipedream of mine last season as a backup.

    The Texans have everything but a QB. Not sure what happened, but in that division they walk to the Playoffs. They made it two years in a row with junk at QB. Might even have got a first round bye with Romo. Weird that it didn't work out. Paying Brock all that money doesn't help.

    Sorry, Romo fans, but this is another sign of Romo not being a winner. Guy is only 36. Never got close to a championship. Absolutely an offer was going to come in sometime between now and mid-next-season to go somewhere and take another shot at a ring he never got a sniff of, and he decides to retire to be an analyst.

    Listen, he was a nice QB, but I'm sorry, he was not underrated. Plenty of guys can throw a nice ball and put up some stats. At times he even looked like one of the best in the game, but the fact remains that he choked repeatedly when the light was brightest. Not all of the Cowboy chokes were his fault but plenty were. Did not have to retire now. That is not a winner move, that is a loser move. Shows he's more into the paycheck and the face time than he is getting that ring.

    Not to compare them but just to illustrate my point, Brady is 40 and has five rings, but what do you think he'd say if they said Hey Tom, come be an analyst for us now for tons of money, no more injury risk, just relaxing and soaking in the adoration? He'd say fukk off and when do OTA's start?

    Tony is not gonna play football again, he's got a cushy broadcast job and will work on his golf game. Romo is actually a very good golfer, wouldn't be surprised to see him enter more golf tournaments.

    He's got all the money he needs, he's an injury waiting to happen... He doesn't work out and his back is shot.. Probably a smart move...

    As a Cowboys fan I'm kinda glad to see him go.. Had enough of that guy being injured and all the heart breaks in the playoffs..

    I am no Romo fan, but the guy is number 4 on the list of career QB percentage rating. Being in the top 10 all time in that category is impressive. Gotta give him some credit.
