Ranking the NFL color analysts: Tom Brady shines while Tony Romo struggles (just like old times)
Tony Romo, as quarterback of America’s Team, went 0-2 head-to-head against Tom Brady.

Brady, as quarterback of the best team in NFL history, finished his career with seven Super Bowl rings in 10 trips, nine of them with the Patriots. Romo never even made it to a conference final.

When they retired, to the delight of Eagles fans who hated them with equal vigor, each took his fame and fortune and headed to the broadcast booth.

There, Brady still dominates Romo. I covered Romo and Brady extensively. It was hard to dislike Romo and impossible to like Brady. Now, it’s hard to listen to Romo and impossible to dislike Brady.
