Tony's broadcast use by date is fast approaching.

Tony actually knows what's happening on a football field.

At least he talks about something other than the Cowboys, unlike another former Cowboys quarterback stinking up NFL broadcasts.

Tony trying to finish chewing his food was pretty good though.

Well, the guy was a somewhat recruited basketball player coming out of high school, and if he chose basketball, depending on what college he chose, he could have ended up in the NBA. So, the guy has probably been watching a lot of basketball and most likely had a lot of basketball on his mind (betting).

Meh, take it as an analogy. Not worth much more thought than that.

Romo is still one of the more entertaining commentators

Sometimes when you're in the home stretch final lap at the top of the 9th inning, you nutmeg yourself and score an own-goal and end up with a triple bogey. Everyone announcer has done that before, so people shouldn't be too harsh.

It's sucks because you can tell the suits told him to tone it down and he's not as funny as he could be.  His overly enthusiastic response to whatever "cant miss" tv promo his partner read were always pretty good.

Top-hole. Bally Jerry, pranged his kite right in the how's-your-father; hairy blighter, dicky-birded, feathered back on his sammy, took a waspy, flipped over on his Betty Harpers and caught his can in the Bertie?

They could pull an average fan (sober or just mildly drunk) out of the stands to replace Tony in the booth, and it would be a huge improvement

Ok so we are supposed to hate Romo now? Do we like any commentating teams? Just trying to keep score here.

We're supposed to hate everyone and everything.

But Joe Buck most of all, because he pissed in NakedReporta's shoes.

/ FTR I've always hated Romo as an announcer and never understood what Fark's love affair with him was about

differing commentary preferences might be okay, just so you never admit to liking cheap domestic beer or a restaurant that isn't a local hole-in-the-wall.

Can you give us the name of five color commentators in the game right now who are better?

It's Fark. All announcers are terrible.  The only way to watch a game is via the mute button.

fark you subby for posting one of these filler need to make a deadline articles where the "writer" claims the entire internet is annoyed by something by posting 5 comments they found on twitter.

It's pretty bad for a former NFL QB to do that.  It's still worse for a website to write 6 run-on sentence fragments and then just screen shot 13 (YES IT WAS 13) Tweets from people we don't know and have never heard of.  This is how propaganda / marketing / PR works.  This is what is happening to us right now.

It is a different sport but the Ken and Mickey, the Red Wings play by play guys, are top notch.

Gee, a guy who has to talk live for three hours, much of it off the cuff, made a verbal mistake?

I bet at some point he also used poor grammar and said "If I was going to call the play" or "Like I said earlier."

I heard passive voice at least five times from Romo. Everyone knows the best commentators never use passive voice

Half right.  You're supposed to mute it and sync the tv with your local radio broadcast.
