Tony Romo made his return to sports media Monday night, popping up remotely on the Pat McAfee alt cast during the Bills-Vikings game. It was a sighting nobody really saw coming, and it’s got everyone talking about what’s next for the former QB.
Back in the Booth (Sort Of)
This isn’t just a random appearance, folks. This is Romo’s first time on any platform since August. Remember that whole situation with his DUI arrest and then his separation from CBS? Yeah, it’s been a minute since we’ve heard from him in an official media capacity. Now, he’s back, albeit remotely, on McAfee’s show. It’s the second alt cast for McAfee this season, and it definitely got some eyeballs.
What the Numbers Say and What’s Next
So, how did this alt cast do? The first McAfee alt cast of the season pulled in 351,000 viewers over on ESPN2. That’s solid, but get this: the Next Gen Stats alt cast on NFL Network actually beat it, drawing 469,000 viewers. That’s a decent gap! For Romo, the big question now is his next move. He’s a free agent in the media world. There’s chatter about potential offset obligations from his CBS settlement that could impact what he earns, but he’s officially resurfaced. Where he goes from here is anyone’s guess, but you know the league is watching.
