Summary
Tony Romo said on the "Pardon My Take" podcast that he no longer takes offense at criticism of his CBS game commentary, brushing off complaints about his on-air quirks and vocal tics.
Three hours a week on air means "you're gonna do something wrong," Romo said, arguing he and the broadcast team do more right than wrong or they would not still hold their positions.
Romo said his goal is to teach viewers the "why" behind coaching and play-calling decisions, citing examples such as fourth-and-2 choices as the kind of analysis fans want.
The comments come after years of scrutiny over his once-celebrated predictive style, with some viewers later criticizing his enthusiasm, catchphrases and focus on star quarterbacks.
