As the 2025 NFL season draws closer, CBS analyst Tony Romo is grabbing the spotlight not only for his football insights, but also for a political past that continues to stir conversation.
The former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, once hailed for his quick rise as a broadcaster, remains CBS’ lead NFL analyst despite mounting speculation about his long-term future in the booth.

Looking back at Tony Romo’s political leanings
Romo, who reportedly earns close to $20 million annually, is expected to call many of the league’s top matchups this season, particularly games featuring the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, and Baltimore Ravens.

But his off-the-field connections, including his rapport with prominent Republican figures, have occasionally put him at odds with some fans.
Romo’s political affiliations became more apparent during the 2024 election.
In May, he was seen golfing with former President Donald Trump during the latter’s visit to Dallas for an NRA convention.
Video from the outing quickly circulated online, drawing a mix of admiration and criticism.
“I played golf today with a really good golfer: Tony Romo. Do you know Tony Romo?”Trump remarked during a speech.
“He may be a better golfer than a football player. I don’t know.”
Their relationship isn’t new.
Trump praised Romo back in 2015 following a season-ending injury, calling him “a great guy” and “a great football player,” and noting his absence would “certainly hurt Dallas.”
Romo then attended the President’s inauguration in 2017.
Beyond Trump, Romo has also drawn scrutiny for comments about former President George W. Bush during an NFL broadcast last season.
“He’s very impressive. He loves sports, he loves America. One of the greatest human beings you’ll ever meet,”Romo said, prompting a backlash from some viewers on social media.
While Romo generally keeps politics out of his commentary, these moments have opened the door to criticism, especially given the divisive nature of modern political discourse.
His admiration for Bush, whose presidency remains controversial due to decisions like the Iraq War and the response to Hurricane Katrina, struck a nerve with some fans expecting apolitical coverage during games.
Still, Romo appears unfazed.
Known for his lighthearted, personable style, the former quarterback continues to blend analysis with enthusiasm, even as his words off the field occasionally echo louder than the ones he shares on game day.

Vytočený Djokovič seřval sudího. Ostrá hádka kvůli americkému publiku
Američtí příznivci čekají na vlastního šampiona z posledního grandlamového turnaje roku přes dvacet let a nyní už je jisté, že na triumf Andyho Roddicka (2003) ani letos nikdo z domácích borců nenaváže.Fanoušci během noční bitvy cítili, že i když Fritz od začátku ztrácel, tak sváděl s Djokovičem vyrovnaný duel, který se i přes nepříznivý vývoj dal zlomit. A na Srba tak byl i z hlediště vyvíjen tlak, což vyvrcholilo ve třetím setu za stavu 6:3, 7:5 a 1:2 z Djokovičova pohledu.

Week 1 Predictions for the 2025-2026 NFL Season
For Trevor Lawrence this is his make-or-break year. Awarded with a rich contract, Lawrence has yet to show he can be one of the league’s elite quarterbacks. The Panthers are on the rise and showed much improvement over the latter part of the 2024 season. But with many looking forward to the debut of Travis Hunter, a two-way player that Jacksonville says will play wide receiver and not defensive back. Hunter will get a few plays on defense, but it is on offense where he will be seen the most. At home, the Jags should win this one.
Slavii ani Spartě bych se nebránil, říká novic v kabině jednadvacítky
Na rozhovor přišel usměvavý a hned poprosil přítomné novináře: „Mohli bychom mluvit anglicky?“ Češtinu na Eduarda občas vytáhne jen maminka a pravidelně ji slyší jen o Vánocích. „Dřív jsem mluvil plynně, teď se ale moje znalosti hodně zhoršily,“ omlouval se nový reprezentační útočník.Jste nováčkem v české reprezentaci do 21 let. Jak se zatím cítíte?Všechno je pro mě nové. Upřímně říkám, že jsem tu nikoho neznal. Všichni se ale zdají být v pohodě, takže nevidím žádný problém.Proč jste dal přednost reprezentování Česka před Nizozemskem, kde odmala vyrůstáte?Dostal jsem nabídku do české jednadvacítky, což už je významná kategorie – jen krok pod áčkem. Je to pro mě šance ukázat se. Navíc mám pocit, že cesta do A týmu je odsud jednodušší než z Nizozemska, které je výš v žebříčku. Zvažovali jsme to i s agentem a Česko mě chtělo víc. Shodli jsme se, že je to nejlepší krok pro mou kariéru.Jak často navštěvujete Česko?Mám […]

Isak, Gyokeres and rebuilding Sweden: How Tomasson is leading a revolution
At the start of last year, Sweden were in a crisis. In the space of two years, they had failed to reach the World Cup, missed out of qualification again for the 2024 European Championships and were even relegated into the third tier of the Nations League.It was not the first time they had been in this kind of situation. They missed out on both Euro '96 and the 1998 World Cup, for example. They also failed to qualify for four straight major tournaments in the both the 1960s and 1980s. But at least in and around those bleak periods, there were bronze and silver medals at the World Cup to show some signs of success in the system. Since the turn of the century, Sweden fans have seen their team win just one knockout round match at a major […]
