Tony Romo was trying to show love to a former President, and in doing so, he is getting blasted for what he said.

Jim Nantz and former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo are currently on the call for the NFC East matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles.

The Dallas Cowboys are hosting the Philadelphia Eagles at AT&T Stadium in a game that the home team desperately needs to win to keep its 2024 season together.

Like every other home game, some stars came out to watch it, including a former President.

Former United States president George W. Bush and his wife, Barbara Bush, were spotted in a suite inside AT&T Stadium, and the Fox broadcast went live to show them on TV.

Tony Romo didn’t hold back his opinion of Bush when CBS’s cameras panned to him on Sunday.

“He’s very impressive. He loves sports, he loves America. One of the greatest human beings you’ll ever meet,” Romo said, per Awful Announcing.

Fans hated everything Tony Romo had to say about George Bush. He neglected many things on his resume that, in the minds of many, make him one of the worst Presidents in United States history.

Tony Romo Meant Well But Could’ve Done Better With His Comments

During Sunday’s broadcast, Romo called George W. Bush “One of the greatest human beings you’ll ever meet” and got ripped for it.

He likely did not mean anything malicious about it, but it was also rather unlikely that he would take many shots at a former US president while live on Fox.

Maybe next time, he’ll just acknowledge that he is in the rebuilding and get back to the game.
