CBS Sports president David Berson stated on Tuesday that there is currently no timeline for a decision regarding Tony Romo's future with the network. Romo, who serves as the lead NFL analyst for CBS, is on leave following his arrest last month in Wisconsin for suspicion of operating a vehicle while under the influence.
Berson described the situation as evolving and emphasized that the network is still assessing the circumstances. He indicated that the decision to place Romo on indefinite leave was made to shift attention back to the games and away from his legal issues, noting the importance of the network's image and brand.
During Romo's absence, analyst JJ Watt will join play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson on CBS Sports' lead NFL team. Their first game together will be on September 13, featuring the Minnesota Vikings hosting the Green Bay Packers. Romo, who is 46 years old, has been CBS' lead game analyst since 2017 after a successful playing career with the Dallas Cowboys.
CBS体育总裁表示尚无关于托尼·罗莫未来的决定时间表
CBS体育总裁大卫·伯森在周二表示，目前尚无关于托尼·罗莫未来的决定时间表。罗莫是CBS的首席NFL分析员，因上个月在威斯康星州因涉嫌酒后驾驶而正在休假。
伯森形容这一情况正在发展，并强调网络仍在评估相关情况。他指出，决定将罗莫无限期休假是为了将注意力重新集中在比赛上，而不是他的法律问题，并提到网络形象和品牌的重要性。
在罗莫缺席期间，分析员JJ·瓦特将与比赛解说员吉姆·南茨和场边记者特雷西·沃尔夫森一起加入CBS体育的首发NFL团队。他们的首场比赛将于9月13日进行，届时明尼苏达维京人将主场迎战绿湾包装工。现年46岁的罗莫自2017年以来一直是CBS的首席比赛分析员，此前在达拉斯牛仔队有着成功的职业生涯。
