Big Turk Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Nantz was flirting with leaving CBS for ESPN with his contract due to expire this summer and wanted more than Romo was making to stay...a fair deal considering he has been the voice of just about every CBS sports event from the Masters to the NCAA tourney to the NFL and does it year round while Romo only does the NFL... Nantz was making 6.5 million while Romo was making 17.5 million... CBS wanted to keep him and apparently agreed to his demands as he resigned a deal to stay with both sides mutually wanting to extend the partnership... Must feel great to triple your salary with one stroke of a pen...but I am pretty sure he is going to be on the hook for all the dinners with him and Romo this year hahaha https://www.yahoo.com/sports/jim-nantz-remaining-at-cbs-amid-reported-espn-overtures-000928295.html Edited March 26, 2021 by Big Turk 1 1
Big Turk Posted March 26, 2021 Author Posted March 26, 2021 Just now, HOUSE said: Could have gotten Steve Tasker for half He is too busy doing West Herr commercials and One Bills Live. 2
H2o Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Nantz: "Tony, bruh, got that new contract done. Good lookin out."

Doc Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Crazy. They’re making more than most of the guys they’re covering, not to mention every exec and coach.

I still remember the game where Dak got hurt. Dude's foot is pointing 90 degrees in the wrong direction. Romo says "If you're a Cowboys fan, you hope it's just a cramp" He did it again later but it escapes me right now. And those cool insights and play predictions seemed to vanish.

sir andrew Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 Romo's making 17 mil a year?? Geez, where have I been? Did he ever make that as a QB? 1

They must have told him to tone down the pre snap reads though. The first few years he was doing it like all the time and I loved it personally. But the last few years not so much at all. You got to wonder if the league told him to tone it down. Now if they can only tell him to tone down the Pat Mahomes love fest. 1

Without that, he's really just annoying and a lot of time cringe worthy. 1 2

Romo was bad last year. It does seem like he's not trying.
TheFunPolice Posted March 26, 2021 Posted March 26, 2021 is it me, or has Romo's voice gotten sort of rough the past year or so? always sounds like he has vocal issues
