Another Cincinnati Bengals playoff game, another three hours of listening to Tony Romo slobber over the opposing quarterback. That's what we'll be dealing with again this week, as the Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs square off in the AFC Championship Game. Romo, Jim Nantz, and Tracy Wolfson are on the call.
Much like last week, Bengals fans aren't excited about Romo calling this weekend's game. Romo isn't as obsessed with Patrick Mahomes as he is with "Mr. January" himself Josh Allen but we all know that he'll be drooling over anything Mahomes does in this game.
Bengals fans wish Tony Romo would go away
NOT ROMO. UGH

My exact attitude.
I just threw up a little in my mouth.

I can't say that I had quite this reaction but hey, to each their own!
Cris Collinsworth is weeping clutching a picture of State Farm Pat. The network rights stars just didn’t align.

This one made me chuckle. Cris Collinsworth definitely loves Mahomes more than any of the broadcasters. I'm sure he is sad that he isn't calling this one.
Tony Romo in the booth was kind of fun at first, but now I just can't stand to listen to him

We don't need an extensive coaching lesson after every single play
This seems to be the sentiment with Romo these days. What started as a fun thing with him predicting what the offense might do on each play turned into him obsessing over one player and then not shutting up about him.
If CBS isn’t going to let Tony Romo call out plays and diagnose on the fly, they should just fire him. That was the entertainment value he added. He sucks otherwise

Another tweet with the same direction as the previous one. He's not great when he's trying to be funny.
Tony Romo is annoying he adds nothing

Agreed.
Tony Romo: “A perfectly thrown ball, but a little bit wide.”

This one definitely had NFL fans scratching their heads when Romo said it. It wasn't a perfectly thrown ball BECAUSE it was wide.
Hey if you really don't want to listen to Romo, just put the TV on mute and put on the Bengals Radio Network!
