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.

VIDEO: Tony Romo Had An Awful & Embarrassing Take On Commanders Superstar QB Jayden Daniels Seconds Before His Game-Winning Hail Mary TD vs. Bears

Tony Romo delivered quite the hot take on Jayden Daniels that didn’t exactly age well, seconds before the Washington Commanders’ rookie quarterback completed a game-winning Hail Mary touchdown against the Chicago Bears.

Jim Nantz and Tony Romo were on the call for the Commanders-Bears game at Northwest Stadium. This highly-anticipated affair marked the first showdown between Daniels and Caleb Williams, the first two picks of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Daniels’ status for Week 8 was up in the air because of a rib injury he suffered in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers. Backup Marcus Mariota played most of that game, leading Washington to a 40-7 blowout victory.

Moments before Noah Brown answered Daniels’ Hail Mary heave, Tony Romo suggested that the Commanders bring in Mariota to attempt the pass, citing the rookie’s rib injury:

In Romo’s defense, nobody is making a big deal of his comment if the Bears actually played the Hail Mary right. They made the mistake of letting Brown get behind them to catch the deflection for the game-winning score, dropping them to 4-3 on the season;

Still, the many critics of Tony Romo aren’t going to let him live this one down any time soon.

Tony Romo & Jim Nantz Will Call Broncos vs. Ravens In Week 9

Today, CBS Sports shared its announcer team assignments for Week 9. Romo and Nantz will be on the call for the Denver Broncos’ Week 9 road game against the Baltimore Ravens in a game that carries giant postseason implications.

Weeks ago, CBS probably wanted them on the call for the Miami Dolphins-Buffalo Bills game in Highmark Stadium. But with the Dolphins falling to 2-5 on the year, this game carries much less excitement than a clash between the 5-3 Broncos and Ravens.

The Broncos and Ravens have both won five of their last six games following disappointing 0-2 starts. Vance Joseph’s defense vs. Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry promises to be a dandy, alright.
