CBS weighs future of Tony Romo amid OWI arrest and contract dispute

CBS weighs future of Tony Romo amid OWI arrest and contract dispute

Sports media analyst Andrew Marchand said on August 3 that CBS is evaluating its options regarding analyst Tony Romo following his July 23 operating-while-intoxicated arrest in Milwaukee. Milwaukee County authorities said Romo was booked on a single count of OWI after failing field-sobriety tests and refusing a breath test during a traffic stop on Interstate 43, with a court appearance scheduled for September 21. CBS announced his indefinite leave, promoted former defensive end J.

J.  Watt to the lead NFL broadcast team, and indicated it may invoke a morals clause to terminate Romo’s $72 million contract. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed confidence that Romo will address the incident, while Fox Sports host Colin Cowherd suggested the network’s distancing may stem from lingering resentment over the lucrative deal.
