Tony Romo may as many suitors in television as in football. In other news, Fox Sports has hired A.J. Pierzynzski, and ESPN’s Around the Horn has a new panelist.
CBS Pursuing Romo As Well
- CBS Sports is pursuing Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo for an analyst position, ESPN.com reported Friday, joining Fox Sports as suitors for the former star. The network is said to be “making a strong push” for Romo, who has no previous broadcasting experience. Despite the interest from TV networks, it is far from clear whether Romo will retire from the NFL. He remains on the Cowboys and there is no indication yet whether he will be traded or cut before next season. (ESPN.com 3.24)
