Criticism does not affect me; you can’t please everyone

Tony Romo is used to criticism after 13 seasons playing quarterback with the Cowboys. Thus, he insists he is unaffected by those who question his performance last season as an NFL game analyst on CBS.

I think that’s normal, Romo told Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News on Thursday before performing in the second annual Celebrity Guest Classic held at Las Colinas Country Club. I think it happens to anyone. Whenever you do something good, I think there will always be that. It’s just the kind of arc of someone’s career. It’s happened to me many times before and it’s a good thing.

Romo’s broadcast partner, Jim Nantz, recently felt the need to defend Romo. Nantz said he didn’t understand the criticism and called it “cheap knocks”.

It was a 180 degree turn for Romo, who received rave reviews in 2017 during his first season as an analyst. His ability to predict plays earned him instant success on the network’s No. 1 team and earned him a raise in 2020 on a contract that pays him $17 million per season.

But Romo, 42, was widely criticized after the 2022 AFC Championship game.

“This stuff doesn’t affect me,” Romo said. “Really, once you play quarterback for the Cowboys, you can deal with anything. You have to remember that there is always someone’s opinion. But 100 other people coming up to you and telling you they love you. You’re not going to please everyone. I think at the end of the day there are a lot more people who really appreciate what we’re doing and I think CBS is doing a great job with their broadcast team.
