Tony Romo and CBS have mutually parted ways after his no-contest plea on OWI charges, ending a drawn-out leave and a once-hot analyst run that had already lost its edge. The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback is no longer the network’s top NFL game analyst. The split became official Friday and closed a leave of absence that followed his Wisconsin drunken-driving case, USA TODAY reported . Jim Nantz and JJ Watt will finish the season as CBS’s No. 1 booth team. For a network that once bet enormous money on Romo’s voice, the change ends years of diminishing returns in the chair beside Nantz. Romo arrived as a broadcast sensation. He leaves as a cautionary tale about peak hype, soft preparation standards, and the cost of reckless choices…Open

Tony Romo is on leave after his Wisconsin OWI arrest, leaving CBS without a return timetable as J.J. Watt joins Jim Nantz.

Former CBS analyst Boomer Esiason says Tony Romo's time in the network's NFL broadcast booth is "over", a blunt verdict that lands with $72 million still on Romo's contract and a court date weeks away. Esiason, who spent 22 years on CBS's pregame show "The NFL Today," delivered his assessment Wednesday on his WFAN radio program. He did not hedge. The network had already moved J.J. Watt into the top booth alongside Jim Nantz, and CBS Sports president David Berson had publicly framed the situation as a brand-protection exercise the day before. The New York Post reported that Romo remains on indefinite leave and has not publicly addressed either the arrest or his contract status. Romo was arrested July 23 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, while…Open

Police bodycam footage from Tony Romo's OWI arrest on a Milwaukee interstate shows the former Cowboys quarterback refusing to start a field sobriety test until he finished a round of stretching exercises, a request the officer granted with a flat "go ahead dude." The 46-year-old CBS analyst was pulled over on southbound I-43 after an officer observed him making an unsafe pass on the right and cutting across a gore, the striped buffer zone between highway lanes and an exit ramp. What followed, captured on the officer's body camera and obtained by the Daily Mail , was a prolonged roadside exchange in which Romo questioned the stop, cited his back surgeries, asked for his lawyer repeatedly, and refused a breath test, twice. Romo told the…Open
