Tony Romo continues to struggle with some of his commentary and is annoying fans in the process.

Last year, the NY Post’s Andrew Marchand reported that CBS had an intervention with Romo after complaints about his performance in the booth.

CBS Sports executives recognized that some of the luster of Tony Romo’s NFL analysis had faded. As a result, they staged something of an intervention, The Post has learned.

In an effort to have Romo focus more on being fully prepared and to help him find a way to mesh better with his broadcast partner, Jim Nantz, executives including CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus and CBS’ lead NFL game producer, Jim Rikhoff, flew on separate trips to Romo’s Dallas home, according to sources.

During Sunday’s Ravens-Chiefs AFC championship game, Romo’s bizarre commentary quickly got him trending on social media for the wrong reasons.

After Lamar Jackson fumbled the ball in the Chiefs–Ravens game, Romo left fans scratching their heads when he said, “In games like this, the ball matters more than any game.”
