Obscene amount of money (good for him) but I'm glad he stayed put... ESPN is a joke lately and would be a waste of Romo.

Romo is good. I enjoy listening to him. 
 

well deserved.   So much better than and ESPN person and MNF guy

It's just his envy talking. He forgets Romo makes games more fun to watch which in turn make Thomas and other players more money.

Michael Thomas also doesn't understand supply and demand. We can debate how "in demand" announcers actually may be but there's no denying that good ones are in short supply.

Ahhhhhh.........What's next, complaints about the salary of the Samsung CEO?

 

Capitalism, Mike Thomas my dear.  No way you should be making more than the LPN at County Hospital that saves people's lives every day, but It Is What It Is.

This is why the NFL Owners vs. NFL Players is not a fair fight.

Is this a bar fight? Ralph was a brawler, but according to my sources, he was not nearly as tough as Kim!

You lost me here, my good man. What does CBS’s decision to pay Romo have to do with the CBA negotiated negotiated between the league and the NFLPA?

Problem is the bottom 90% of players he's referring to can't afford a lockout given their short careers compared to other sports leagues.  The owners will always hold the advantage when negotiating a new CBA.

Terry has a reputation. Ask anyone in the NFL, you get in his way he'll frack you up.

He'd be crazy to go to ESPN. Even if the CBS offer isnt the same, it'll still be very good and it would mean he can keep his commentary partnership together

Wow, exactly how much extra money does Michael Thomas think they can get out of the new CBA? Will they change it to 85% of players make less then 17 million? What percentage is he hoping for?

Apparently the players are less than pleased that it is locked into < 50 % for the next decade. That’s a long time. But they still have a higher % than the other sports, right?

Nice to see the right decision was reached.  Romo sticking with CBS was the only decision that made sense.

Games usually on mute and I fast forward from the end of a play until the O is set, not into worshipping someone telling me nothing more than I just saw on the screen

From Michael Thomas' tweet ...

 

"Thank you that’s why we shouldn’t sign the new CBA agreement no way the announcer should be making more then 90% of the players "

 

This is the kind of brainpower successful businessmen/billionaires are going up against.  That was the only point I was trying to make.

I'm getting bored of the rich superstars whining about the CBA. The CBA benefits are focused on the majority of the roster, low pay guys who will be getting a massive pay rise. Thomas, Sherman, Wilson etc are coming across terribly. This isn't about the rich getting richer, it's about helping the majority of low pay players

This is why NFL should not give health care for life for players.  Many probably had brain damage before they started playing NFL football.

Too many of these players are total idiots.....

 

This guy "just got his" with 100 million coming his way and he's telling the "90%" of his colleagues who make a small fraction of what he is guaranteed to vote no on a CBA that really has no impact on his vast fortune (other than he might make even more)….because a TV personality will be paid as much as him, by a TV network.

 

So dumb...lol

I'd love to see a rich player strike.
