Tony Romo resurfaces on alternate 'Monday Night Football' telecast and shows he's better than Troy Aikman
TONY ROMO AND CBS PART WAYS BUT HISTORY SUGGESTS FORMER NFL QUARTERBACK WILL ADD TO HIS CAREER COMEBACK MARK More importantly, he was better than Aikman, who is ESPN's regular "Monday Night Football" analyst.
Key points
- The story he is unsigned but Buck did sign a new deal last month has led to speculation about what the Monday Night Football booth will look like next year.
- But we always got to see stuff a little better if you're gonna win the Super Bowl." That is great insight and a major contrast to what ESPN typically get from Aikman, who often repeats what Joe Buck says – "massive call," he repeated on a Josh Allen tush push conversion – or what viewers already saw with their own eyes.
- It's what suggests he'll be back in the booth in 2027 – maybe even on Monday Night Football.
There is no one predicting that Tony Romo is going to replace Troy Aikman as the new Monday Night Football analyst next season, but that sure did feel like an audition on ESPN2 during the Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills game.
Additional details
- Romo, for example, chimed in when Bills linebacker Bradley Chubb anticipated and almost intercepted a Carson Wentz screen pass to Justin Jefferson and he made the point that offenses do safe things to win games, but that's no way to win a championship.
- Romo, meanwhile, gave McAfee's viewers a great explanation of the troubles a quarterback faces when the Vikings defense, authored by defensive coordinator Brian Flores, is on the other side of the line of scrimmage and blitzing on almost every down.
- It simply just happened and it felt nostalgic, with Romo sharing from his deep reservoir of football knowledge and ability to explain it.
- Aikman, also a former Dallas Cowboys quarterback like Romo, offered the ESPN audience that Jefferson moving before the snap was bad.
- Romo, appearing in a picture-in-picture setup from a remote location, was making his first appearance on any platform since his August arrest.
