But I don't love him as an announcer. I know he was viewed as amazing initially but he's not my favorite. I should take notes next week and tell you why.

I know one thing. He repeatedly tries sarcasm for humor.

Instead of saying, "This is the drive of the game" he'll say something like, "This isn't important at all" and then Jim Nantz seems confused.

And in the key drive tonight he wanted to say "the prevent defense prevents you from winning the game" but couldn't recall the phrase.

He's a thousand times better than the other Cowboy QB who's the No. analyst on a network. Do us all a favor and take notes on him first.

In fairness to Troy, the pairing that he has with Buck is very different than the Romo-Nantz team. Aikman is solid IMO, just doesn't have that megawatt personality like Romo.

False. He’s actually one of the best.

Yup.

Absolutely. I love when he commentates. Very knowledgeable.

The group that annoys me is the FOX Pregame/halftime/post game clown show.

Romo is incredible with his knowledge and enthusiasm for all aspects of the game. I'm so glad he took over for annoying Phil Simms and was able to team with Jim Nantz. I gotta wonder how he would lead a team in the locker room. He makes way more money than any head coach in the NFL now so I doubt we will see it.

Romo is fun but he is obviously biased towards Mahomes every time, no matter the opponent

he sounds like he just ripped 3-4 beers and is just riffing it, slobbering all over the mic, just kind of annoying style. he obviously knows the game very well but as a commentator he sucks.

He is the link between Aikman and the Manning cast. Why didnt Aikman describe things in real terms like Romo? Then the mannings took Romo one step further with acted out antics.

I'll take Romo's rare weird comment for all the good insight he has. He knows what the play is before the ball is snapped most of the time. Makes me wonder why he couldnt do that when he played.

Pretty much everyone turns into an annoying moron if you put them in front of a camera and make them jabber for hours on end. Romo does as well as anyone else.

I'll give you that. Pairing anyone with Joe Buck is a disaster and Aikman suffers because of it.

The worst has to be Collinsworth and Al Michaels, anyone sounds great compared to those two.

Funny - I caught that last night. I just called it a brain fart, since he was WWAYY overexcited about what was going on. Otherwise, the guy's one of the best.

Yeah I totally disagree with this. Arguably one of the best in the booth at this point. Better than listen to the other old hacks going through the motions.

I thought he was better when he first started. He explained nuisances of the games I never heard of before. However, now he seems too much like a cheerleader and has gotten really goofy. If he would calm down like he was originally, I think he would be fine.

It’s like his playoff career or lack there of. He gets too crazy and has a hard tone holding onto the ball. When he gets obnoxiously excited you want to turn the tv sound down. Also it’s great he’s a fan but he doesn’t need ride certain players like he wants to date them.

Romo is an annoying incessantly babbling clown that is believing his own press.

C'mon man...who cares. Domo is just having fun announcing games.

You could always mute the channel & announce your own games. Lol.

So you prefer Troy Aikmen and Joe Buck? Those dudes are so monotone and the least interesting dudes. How they still have a job is beyond me

Antonio Ramiro Romo was not only a great quarterback, but probably one of the better announcers currently working. Of all the Mexican-American quarterbacks, he's clearly behind Jose Montana and Jim Plunkett, but third best is not so bad!

Despite being an Eagles fan I liked Romo at first. Great insight into things I think few heard before. However, for some reason he’s gotten away from that. My guess is that the network told him to dumb it down. So it’s likely not his fault. However, he’s turned into a clown as of late. His corny sarcasm of the obvious is quite annoying.

It's you not Romo, he's great one of the very best.
