What a day it has been for Cowboys Nation. Tony Romo’s retirement announcement shook the NFL world, as did his subsequent move to CBS to join Jim Nantz as a broadcaster – becoming official not only with his release moments ago but this picture from Tony Romo’s own Twitter account.

Social media has been a powerful tool for Tony Romo this offseason, with even harmless Instagram videos being linked to his status with the Cowboys. Romo’s relationship with the Dallas Cowboys came into question these past weeks, but the team ultimately did right by him.
More importantly, Tony is clearly at peace with the decision to end his NFL career having played solely for America’s Team, making the transition to the broadcast booth much like Troy Aikman and even Roger Staubach and Don Meredith to come before him as QBs of the Cowboys.

CBS has released this statement on Tony Romo joining their NFL coverage team, and Romo had this to say about the partnership as well:

Tony Romo wants to succeed in everything he does, and the opportunity for him to do so is now in a perfect role for #9 at CBS Sports.
Go get it, Tony.
…how can we get that $120 million back?
All is not lost for Houston. Quincy Carter is available… ;^)
Q-Car jokes never get old. Seriously. LOL.
Simms to Romo “I won 2 Super Bowls, buddy”
Romo to Simms “1 Super Bowl”
;^)
Hahaha
Romo to Simms, “That’s great, doesn’t seem like those rings are helping you now, does it.”
This is such a great move for him, and such a fun move for Cowboys nation. We get to enjoy Romo in the booth for the next 2 or 3 decades or however long he wants to do it. Will our grandchildren be playing EA Sports Romo Football 2047? If I’m alive then, I will be and I’ll be using the 2014 classic Dallas Cowboys team to right some wrongs.
