A lot of eyes were on the mega matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens, but not many people came away too happy with Tony Romo.
The former Cowboys quarterback quickly transitioned from the field to the broadcast booth with his keen eye and football knowledge.
However, he has run into a ton of trouble with his commentary over recent years.
NFL reporter Charles Robinson took exception to a comment Tony Romo made while the Ravens were battling the Eagles.
In the first half of the game, Romo commented that the NFL’s replay center back in New York should examine a play that happened on the field.
Robinson, who covers the NFL for Yahoo! Sports, thought Romo took his job way too far when doing that. Robinson said, “Should Tony Romo be calling for New York to take another look at a replay? Is that his job as an analyst?”

When asked if Tony Romo has the power to call for New York to take another look, Robinson responded to an X user: “He shouldn’t. But he even commented in the broadcast that when they bring it up, NY usually listens, which seems odd.”

Another user pointed out that it is Romo’s job to discuss the game.
Robinson fired back, “It’s not just opinion when you literally lobby for NY to take a look at a replay. That’s outside the bounds of opinion or analysis.”
Tony Romo Called Out Multiple Uncalled False Starts on Eagles’ Tush Push
The Philadelphia Eagles went into M&T Bank Stadium and defeated the Baltimore Ravens, but it wasn’t without controversy.
Despite fumbling on a snap at the goal line on one play, Jaen Hurts recovered and scored a touchdown late in the second quarter.
Tony Romo called the team out for a false start that the refs clearly missed, saying, “Actually, that’s a false start, technically.”
“It’s a false start. That should be called a false start. Everyone moved before the ball was snapped.”
That uncalled penalty ultimately made the difference in the game as the Eagles won, 24-19.
Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
