I had hoped with a fresh QB going into the studio, the live game analysis would be more along a constructive critique than the always sunny drivel we get from the Monday booth.
Apparently that is not to be. CBS is basically mandating that Romo scale back his critique.
A lot of people made fun of Madden because he made it sound way too easy to understand ("it's gotta be more complicated than that, right?"). But that was Madden's gift. He could explain the right way and the wrong way to do something in such simple language that even someone who never played the sport (e.g. me) could learn about its nuances.
I was hoping Romo could bring the broadcast back to that mentality. I guess it won't be happening.
Related, I have always wished there was an alternative broadcast for each game that didn't aim to appeal to the lowest common denominator, instead offering actual critique and analysis, teaching viewers the finer points of the sport.
