CBS broadcaster and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo ignited a social media frenzy during the second half of Sunday’s AFC Championship game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Neither CBS nor Romo have made a public comment about the social media reaction.

I would certainly like an explanation from Romo. Perhaps he had teams confused and was thinking Niners.

1. Was his the gravely voice throughout that wouldn't shut up? Talking basketball references constantly

Uggh. I thought the CBS commentary was horrible. They do better with NCAA football IMO.

2. yes that is him

And I agree, they do much better for NCAA football.

6. I usually mute the game when he is on there

he sounds horrible.

12. Agreed

3. whatever he started to say he did not finish it

if romo habitually said what he didn't say on that clip his linemen would not have protected him and he would not have lived to become a broadcaster.

4. Nothing, he said absolutely freaking NOTHING!

During the four hours of talking at one point he started a sentence. Something along the lines of "There were 3 n-, 3 players ready to tackle that guy." The action he was highlighting was 3 Bengal players converged on the Niner's ball carrier. The most likely probability was he was about to say "There were 3 niners," being a professional he caught himself rather than misspeak and say the wrong team's name he stopped himself and proceeded using the correct team names for the action on the field.

Much ado about nothing but what the heck let's get some clickbait while undeservedly bringing a person's reputation into question for something that never even almost happened.

Pandering to the need for attention with this subject does nothing to further the ACTUAL reduction of racism that exists. Neither CBS nor Romo should comment on this situation because it is fucking ridiculous to pretend that anything might of, could of, almost maybe in my most cynical thought processes didn't fucking happen!

I am very disappointed this nothing of an incident has sullied the pages of DU. Find me a scintilla of a hint of the possibility that Romo has spoken in this way, even though he most absolutely did not in the pathetic clickbait used here, and I'll be on board condemning him.

I don't like Romo as an announcer. I didn't really like him as a quarterback but to jump on the band wagon to smear him is cheap. There are real issues surrounding racism but this is not one of them.

7. I agree completely

It is like the outrage machine is on a trigger switch.

9. But it was the Bengals/Chiefs game

[Alpeduez21]

10. My mistake on the game

That’s why I’m not an announcer

5. Social media seems to be little more than encouraging people to

Get upset about something for clicks. Best avoided.

8. I get so sick of the color guys...

Who think they have to fill every second with commentary between plays. Besides having annoying voices, they think they have to comment on every nuance of the action on the field every freakin play!

[a kennedy]

11. I know......they think we need their opinions on what the hell we just saw.

Ugh…….

[Rebl2]

13. I feel

that way about political commentators too sometimes.
