That's the play by play guy, who is normally just a regular media employee. Ex-players/coaches do the color commentary where they provide insights, share anecdotes, hype up the game, drop high-level knowledge and generally keep the broadcast lively. Romo has an interesting personality and the sense of humor to make it fun.
It's a big gamble. Brady is a big get but who knows if he can be good behind the mic. 10 years is a long contract after all and that's a lot of money.

You want the PBP to have a good voice and call the game as it is, but also to let things rest and not over-commentate. Al Michaels in his prime is probably the best example. Joe Buck has actually become pretty good recently, but he used to be bad.
For color #1 is still a good voice (Collinsworth out), also the ability to not over-comment (sometimes Romo's weakness), and then also good rapport with the PBP and good game insights.

Positive out of Buck going to ESPN is that FOX Baseball lead PBP is Joe Davis' job now which is awesome because I love what he does for the Dodgers. Unfortunately John Smoltz still exists.

From what I've seen in interviews, he'll be just fine. I particularly enjoy this one (R rated if that bothers you): + Show Spoiler +
To me, he comes off as way more human than you would expect from someone so relentlessly dedicated to his craft. And obviously, he'll have no shortage of football knowledge when it comes to commentary/analysis/play-by-play/whatever he's gonna be doing.

Real question, Brady didn't unretire? Or is this part time 30mil a year for 10 years

Its better to negotiate the deal as soon as possible. Fox just decided to stake out its Romo before Romo did his next deal and inflated the market. I can't imagine how expensive the bottle of wine Romo sent Brady.

Chargers winning the off season social media

Man, it is like 80% there, because the animation is tight, but the song choice was a few notches below truly hype anime intros. Best parts are prolly Week 1 and Week 18.

How so? I find nothing golden about that celeberties and people in their vicinity needing to consider that everything they do in bars can end up on national news, even short clips out of context from weird angles. It is disgusting, and can cause serious psychological damage to those involved.

I only meant I was not expecting chargers social media team to put it out there like that during their schedule reveal.

Meyers is impressive. Kicks Josh Lambo, one of my fav kickers for fantasy league. Also does his best to ruin JRob’s prime, who was one of the best UDFA from last season.

That video was taken after an away loss where he didn't fly back with the team, which is unheard of for coaches to do. It was obvious from the start that he did not have the team's best interest in mind, and players will attest to that.

Disappointment? You were the best 3-9 team of all time

Addison has been in the portal for almost 2 whole weeks and I haven't heard anything since.
