Dallas Cowboys: 5 questions with Tony Romo

We had an opportunity to interview Tony Romo earlier this week. Here are five questions with the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback.

Tony Romo is one of the greatest Dallas Cowboys to ever wear The Star. After a 14-year professional football career, Romo holds nearly every meaningful quarterback record in franchise history.

Those records include the most career passing yards in Cowboys’ history (34,183), the most passing touchdowns (248) and a higher total completion percentage (65.3) than Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, Danny White or Dak Prescott.

But following the 2016 regular season, Romo opted to hang up his cleats and pursue a career in broadcasting. Paired with legendary sportscaster Jim Nantz, the 38-year old took the league by storm last year and debuted as the most exciting color commentator/analyst in years. Romo’s detailed knowledge about the game and ability to predict plays before the snap became his calling card and captivated viewers.

Earlier this week, we had an opportunity to interview Tony and ask him about his early broadcasting success, his chemistry with Nantz, and about his time as the quarterback of America’s Team. Here are our five questions with the legendary Tony Romo.

#1  – What did you learn about broadcasting and being an analyst last season that you wished you would have known before you started?

"TR: “I’m not sure that anything would have changed much. But I think the one thing was just I didn’t realize how big of a team thing this [was]. I thought you were just going to do your job or responsibility. But really, your team matters so much. Me having Jim Nantz, Jim Rikhoff, my producer, Tracy Wolfson, this whole crew. I feel like I got pretty lucky. I think they made me look better than I really am. Now that I know how much goes into it, how much people can help, I honestly feel like I got a pretty big break having this crew.”"
