Tony Romo’s success in the broadcast booth for CBS has changed everything moving forward. Romo’s absurd intelligence and prediction abilities have been a hit with fans.
Now, NBC will try to tap into that same magic with Drew Brees joining the squad. If he’s even a fraction as good as Romo, then fans are in for an outstanding time.

Brees is charismatic, intelligent, his reputation precedes him and he knows what it takes to win football games in the NFL.
Apply all those skills to the broadcast booth and I think you’re likely going to have a ton of success.

Best of luck to Brees on the next step of his career. I’m sure he’s going to do a great job.
