Criticism of Tony Romo’s broadcast this season has been a hot topic, especially his last playoff game for CBS, calling the Kansas City Chiefs’ win over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship Game.
While Romo was once considered the next best color commentator in the NFL, this season has seen some discontent from fans, who say he’s stating the obvious more than usual, among other things.
Romo has also been admitting on air that he doesn’t understand what really happened on certain plays, which is the last thing an analyst should say.

«You can’t please everyone. I know this because the number of people who reach out to me has quadrupled since the first two or three years. The thing is, the people who really love you aren’t going to keep going out of their way to say , «I love you.» They’re not going to keep tweeting, ‘He’s the best,’ every week, are they?
