Tony Romo Retires and Enters the Broadcast Booth


An avid sports fan, Max Edelsack earned a bachelor's degree in sports communication from Marist College in 2016. An aspiring broadcaster, Max Edelsack announced lacrosse, basketball, and soccer games on the school's radio station. 

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is wasting no time in transitioning to the broadcast booth. The 37 year old veteran of 13 seasons in the National Football League (NFL) announced his retirement in early 2017 and was subsequently hired by CBS to be its lead analyst for NFL games during the 2017 season. He'll be joined by play-by-play man Jim Nantz. 

Romo will work his first game during the third week of the preseason, but he has already received on-the-job training, albeit in a different sport. The California native worked briefly in the announcer booth at the 18th hole of the Professional Golfers Association's (PGA) Dean and DeLuca Invitational on the last weekend in May. Although inexperienced, CBS Sports producer Lance Barrow speculated that Romo might become the next John Madden, who was part of CBS' top broadcasting crew from 1981 to 1994 and worked as an NFL broadcaster for 30 years.
