Former Patriots OC Charlie Weis said he’d rather throw up than listen to Tony Romo
"Just shut up and let us savor the moment."
Count Charlie Weis among those who were disappointed in Tony Romo’s performance on CBS’s Super Bowl broadcast.
During a recent appearance on Sirius XM’s Airing It Out, the 67-year old former Patriots offensive coordinator said he’d rather puke than listen to Romo.
“There are announcers that I really enjoy listening to. But then there are announcers where I have to listen to them, and I’d rather go to the bathroom and throw up. Yesterday, that was one of the times when I preferred not to listen to the announcers and watch the game.”
Last week’s Super Bowl was the most-watched telecast in history, according to the NFL. But, Romo has taken heat over his handling of the final play.
“For 30 seconds, as CBS showed reaction, Romo talked about the play when the best analysis would’ve been silence,” the Athletic’s Andrew Marchand wrote in a recent column. “Which would have allowed the crowd and pictures to tell the story. It should have been (Jim) Nantz’s broadcast moment, if anyone’s.”
Weis also had an issue with Romo’s performance on the final play.
“They turn me off. I mean, I listened to the end of the game, and I listened to Tony Romo ruin the moment,” Weis said. “Just shut up and let us savor the moment. Just be quiet. Nantz had already said, ‘Jackpot.’ He already said it; that should’ve been the end of the conversing. I don’t need to hear your analysis of what just happened, I just watched it. I want to watch the moment. I want to enjoy the moment as a sports fan.”
