Remember way back when when ESPN's announcer and points guy Pete Axthelm referred to this game as the pitiful "bay of pigs game" ? They were both quite bad once at the same time.
He later died from liver failure while awaiting a transplant in a Pittsburgh hospital at 47 in 1991. He was a Yale graduate and a sharp guy who was a big sports fan.

Nance is good, but Tony is the best.

Not only does Romo know his stuff (of course he would), he does an awesome job of communicating it. Something alot of players turned commentators haven't mastered.
I don't think that by any stretch of the imagination that he is the best...when you take the overall qualities of what it means to be a broadcaster. . He may know his stuff, and he may be astute in relating his knowledge through the fans. .....but I can't get past the fact that his vocal quality is terrible. He constantly sounds like his throat is full of phlegm. I keep wanting to say: clear your goddamn throat. It is terribly distracting to me. So much so that I won't watch one of his broadcasts. I mean, take some Mucinex or something.

Is Romo a slick and polished announcer of course not but then again neither was one of the best ever John Madden with a variety of sidekicks. How about Keith Jackson and his style in any sport.
It took me a few games to get used to Romo but now he's just fine doing professional football even though he might not be a professional announcer....... just very good at what he does, I'll take it.

On top of honest assessments of the level of play of teams, units and individuals, Tony is one of a very few that accurately tells you what is going to happen before a play starts... (Bernie used to do that in preseason broadcasts.)
... and then Tony adds a real joy for the game to his announcing.

I think that as a color commentator (you call them that, right?) Romo is one of the best. You see he enjoys it, he tells you where you have to look at or what's coming and has chemistry with his play-by-play commentator. He adds to the experience and he has rhythm, which is what I ask for on a color commentator.
It's funny for me to hear you complain about vocal quality, because Americans seem to be chewing gum when talking but I guess I got used to it, so I'll keep an ear on Romo next time.

LOL! I used to tell people that listening to Venezuelan Spanish in comparison to Castilian Spanish was like New York English vs any southern state English. It's like trying to listen to a machinegun vs. a bolt action rifle. One is so fast you can hardly think fast enough and other slow enough to even use the old computer processor I have upstairs and have a decent idea of what was just said. Unless of course she's so damn good looking I wouldn't understand anything anyway in any language because of distractions.???

Romo is pretty dang good and I feel like I learn something from him each time he calls a game.

Venezuelan Spanish is one of the hardest ones to understand, definitely, along with some of Southern Spain. I've had combos with native Spanish friends who agreed with me that we had a harder time trying to understand a friend from Venezuela than another friends from Philippines and Vietnam (who didn't precisely have a good Spanish accent and weren't native speakers...).

My Dad was at a gathering in Caracas once and was conversing with a man with whom he had no trouble understanding. He asked him why he sounded so much easier than all the other Venezuelans there. His reply was that he couldn't understand the Venezuelans either because he was from Argentina.??
When my wife took Spanish at Cornell her professor immediately identified where she had gotten her Spanish ( Venezuela). She asked him how he knew. He told her that she ate her s'es "Come las eses!", so that words like "despues" would sound like "depue". We had a friend from New Jersey that it took us 2 weeks to identify because of his strange English. "What's your name?" Mock Mowain". "What?" "Mock Mowain". Eventually we realized he was really Mark Mulrain.?

Yeah, I would never recommend someone to learn Venezuelan Spanish if they had a chance to choose...

Looks like we get the top dogs from CBS this week!
Good News, I can't stand most of them. It's a shame they neutered Romo with his commentary because him predicting how things might go on the field each play was pretty great. He was just making everyone else look bad and they told him to cool it. lol
AKA SNATCH98 or Rorbotron. The boards glorious admins decided to get cute and change my name to "homotron" Classy group of people. (Lost a bet with Columbus king and got banned for a month) -

I felt the same way when he stopped predicting the calls. What a pitty.

I tried having a conversation with a girl from England over the phone once, and after she spit out a few sentences I just shrugged my shoulders and gave up. Couldn't understand a word she said.

OT, but- Nero, my Spanish is terrible now- I was trained in Castilian Spanish. What was (and still is) difficult for me on a pronunciation level is our southern border Mexicans where Mayan words crept into the vocabulary and geography. Like Ixtapa, Irapuato.

He got shut down. lol
I agree, it was terrific live coverage.
He was so damn accurate he was making the rest of the announcers look bad. I began to wonder if Romo had a QBs listening device given him by the O coaches. LOL!??
