Charles Spencer marked the 29th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death by sharing a somber tribute at Althorp House, as her family continues to reflect on her legacy and the harsh treatment she endured from the press. On August 31, Charles Spencer posted several photos of flags flown at half-mast above Althorp House, the Spencer family’s ancestral home in Northamptonshire, England. He captioned the post, “31 August. My least favourite day,” a message that struck a chord with those who remember the events of 1997 and the media scrutiny that followed Diana throughout her life. The date marks 29 years since Diana, her companion Dodi Fayed, and driver Henri Paul died from injuries after a car crash in Paris while fleeing paparazzi. …Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Charles McAdams) - Boomer Esiason says Tony Romo's CBS career is finished after Wisconsin OWI arrest

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
AI:Boomer Esiason is pulling no punches, declaring Tony Romo’s career at CBS officially dead following a Wisconsin OWI arrest. Despite the massive $72 million contract still looming on the books, Esiason isn't interested in the corporate excuses or the inevitable network spin; he’s calling it exactly what it is—the end of the line for the former broadcaster. While CBS likely scrambles to figure out how to handle this legal nightmare and the fallout from a disgraced analyst, the reality remains that Romo’s credibility has been completely liquidated before his upcoming court date.Open

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy predicted CBS will never restore Tony Romo to its top NFL broadcast chair, calling the network's indefinite suspension a convenient exit from a $18-million-a-year deal gone stale.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy predicted CBS will never restore Tony Romo to its top NFL broadcast chair, calling the network's indefinite suspension a convenient exit from a $18-million-a-year deal gone stale. Portnoy, appearing on FS1's Barstool Mornings, did not mince words about what he sees as a foregone conclusion. Romo, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback turned color analyst, was arrested last month on suspicion of operating while intoxicated in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. CBS responded with a one-sentence statement placing him on indefinite leave. The network has offered no further update on his future. For Portnoy, the speed of CBS's decision told the whole story. The network had been paying Romo a reported $18 million…Open
