CBS Responds to Reports It Staged an ‘Intervention’ for NFL Broadcaster Tony Romo

CBS has responded to reports that they staged an “intervention” for NFL broadcaster Tony Romo.

The reports, which originated from an article in The Athletic, alleged that CBS executives had called an emergency meeting with Romo in order to discuss his behavior on the air. It was reported that Romo had become increasingly outspoken and critical of players and teams during games, and that CBS wanted to “rein him in.”

In a statement to The Athletic, CBS Sports said that the reports were “inaccurate” and “unfounded.” The statement went on to say that CBS Sports “values Tony Romo’s insights and enthusiasm and we are thrilled to have him as part of our team.”

The statement also said that “Tony is a great partner and we look forward to continuing to work together.”

The reports of the alleged intervention have been met with mixed reactions. Some have criticized CBS for reportedly trying to “control” Romo’s behavior, while others have argued that Romo’s criticism of players and teams is part of his job and should be allowed.

Regardless, it appears that CBS stands by Romo and is not trying to “rein him in.” The network has made it clear that they are happy to have Romo as part of their team and value his insights and enthusiasm.
