Am I the only one that cannot stand Tony Romo as a sports announcer ?

[Beachnutt]

He just sounds like he has gravel in his throat, not to mention that he didn't do squat as a quarterback.

1. Nope, I do not really care for him either........but I do like Jim Nantz.

[TwilightZone]

2. He set about a dozen Cowboys passing records.

Including passing touchdowns, passing yards, most 300-yard games, most 3+ TD games.

That's on a team that's had some of the best QBs in history. That's a little more than "squat".

Highest QB rating in league history for QBs that didn't win a SB.

There's more to a QB than post-season success. Think Archie Manning was a bad QB?

Revisionist history is often funny.

4. Dismal playoff record though

In 13 seasons, Romo led the Cowboys into the playoffs just four times. His record in those games? An underwhelming 2-4, which included back-to-back one-and-dones in 2006 and 2007. In 2009, he returned to the playoffs and won his first game before losing the second.

3. no you're not

And he's a know it all he never shuts up

[chicoescuela]

5. I must be in the minority, I like him. Joe and Troy I have a hard time listening to.

[Alpeduez21]

6. No. No you are not

[brush]

7. He's actually a pretty good color man as he anticipates quite often what the next play...

is going to be...that comes from his experience as a qb.

It's more to that job than someone not liking the sound of his voice.

[Docreed2003]

8. Agree completely brush

He sees the field very well and does a great job of explaining defensive coverages and offensive strategy.

[brush]

10. Yes. NFL football is a pretty complicated game and knowlegable men in the booth...

are a big help. There's a lot more than liking a team's uniforms or having a favorite player.

9. I don't like him either.

Or Al Michaels.

[Dickster]

11. I can't stand most of the color guys

They can’t shut up, constant drivel about what to expect, or what just happened. Very few of them have a pleasant voice, too high pitched. I don’t need to know every intricate detail about what just happened or should have happened!

[Xavier Breath]

12. It's funny because when he first came on the scene

he was such a sensation, and most everyone seemed to love him. Sounds like his schtick has become a bit tiresome, though.

[calguy]

13. I didn't like him as a player

and I like him less as a commentator.
Someone must like him, though, because it looks like his job is secure.

[LisaM]

14. No. He talks too much and it's always "I would do this..."

I have actually heard him contradict himself in the same series of downs.

"I think I'd go for it in this situation".

"No, I don't think I'd have gone on fourth down".

Over and over and over we have to hear what he would do in a given scenario.
