Tony Romo has a reputation as one of the best color commentators in the NFL, causing football fans to regularly tune in to games that he covers with Jim Nantz. Sunday, however, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback took some flak. He made several comments about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their struggles on offense, many of which involved defending veteran quarterback Tom Brady.

When Romo said that certain incompletions were caused by defensive holding or mistakes by the wide receivers, fans reacted strongly. Several made comments about how Romo is “infatuated” with Brady and will do anything to defend his peer. Others posted “racy” animated Gifs with several other comments about the CBS analyst. The tweets continued throughout Sunday afternoon as the Kansas City Chiefs built up a lead over Brady and company.

That 3rd down miss, where Brady sailed it 15 yards out of the back of the endzone, was blamed by Romo on “Gronk possibly getting held by Sorensen at the top of his route.”

Romo is slowly turning into every other NFL analyst who is a slave to the “narrative”.

I don’t want to hear Tony romo’s a good announcer anymore the ass kissing he’s doing with Brady when Brady’s playing terrible is ridiculous now it’s sickening

Romo admires Brady a great deal.

It makes him terrible for broadcasting his games.

Call him on his shit. Stop defending him at every turn.
