The best part of the unguarantees is the total dismanagement and deinterpretation of the inresponsible actions of his agent.

Barry, we’re paying you to be an analyst, not to be a fan of the trade. Pittsburgh is on your left and Florida is on the right.

Kareem Hunt is looking for a job

Six or seven kickers is a lot of kickers

Yeah. That part struck me as particularly bullshit too. When has Romo ever bragged about what he’s doing or acted like he’s performing some kind of magic trick? He’s just out there doing his job competently and humbly. If people overpraise him for it because every other commentator is awful, that’s not his fault.

This 100%. Romo gets praise because he does it when no one else does it, not because he sees what no one else sees. I’d LOVE to have another position player do something like that, maybe a WR talking about routes, or a D-linesman/safety explaining what they see as weaknesses in playcall. The perspective and enthusiasm…

Even Gruden, who is now a head coach, did not call out the hinge pins of plays when he had Romo’s exact job last year.

Again, it is Tony’s job to point out this Football 101 type of stuff, but the glee with which he sells it as a novelty

Nate this is way too many words. We got your point very early on. Which makes me believe you don’t understand what truly excites people about Romo’s commentary – he is concise and easy to absorb. 

Mostly it’s because so much football commentary is absolute garbage, and it’s refreshing to hear a human being effectively explaining complex shit in a simple way. We just suffered through a terrible MNF booth that seemed more interested in bringing “debate” into the broadcast over, ya know...just telling us what the…

I got like 800 stars for singing Romo’s praises in the Deadspin post on Monday (just stating that because THAT’S A LOT and to confirm any assumption of Romo-bias). I don’t enjoy him because he’s got some kind of second-sight; he’s just a much better color commentator than I’m used to. Even other competent ones like…

I have been watching football since 2nd grade (in the 80'S). Romo is by far the best booth commentator I have heard, full stop. And I listed to a lot of games with Madden and the other dude.

“I hate so much about the things that you choose to be.”

Hmm. Caught between two Michael Scott quotes to respond to this article. Do I go with “You are a thief of joy”? Or “Why are you the way that you are?” Both apply equally IMO.

Dude. He was great. Bernie Kosar did preseason for the Browns for a while and could do the same thing.

Indeed!

My kids will know what it’s like to fail and never quit.

When I read stories about Kapernick, I always wonder how much he was demanding. I always got the impression that Kapernick believed he was a starter and was demanding starter money. If he would have accepted backup money, would he have a contract?  

It’s apparent that reporters droning on about this topic have cut him really deep

As an Islanders fan I “hate” both of these guys for how many daggers they’ve twisted into my heart over the years, but goddamn if it isn’t fun to watch them play the other 29 teams in the league.
