    Sorry to be a contrarian, but Romo is the anti-Ray Scott. Guy is irritating to me. Talks too much and a low-talker, mumbler to boot. The contrast with Jim Nantz is striking. I really don't think he'll last.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    I admit to being extremely qualified for the job.

    I agree, his volume and soft voice make it hard to hear his entire comment and they do ramble. Harder when Nantz is waiting to start his next "joke".
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    He sounds like me if I would try announcing. Typical Wiscahnsin accent and diction. Everyone down here in Florida knows where I'm from as soon as I open my mouth. heh heh

    At least you and Tony say Wisconsin right. The guy doing TV for the Badgers yesterday was mangling it worse than Bob Griese.

    The only thing more lacking than competent NFL Game Officials is decent Broadcasting Teams.
