Tony Romo, CBS part ways
To no surprise, CBS has moved on from Tony Romo.
CBS has separated from its top NFL game analyst, who previously was the long-time starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.
“CBS Sports and Tony Romo have mutually agreed to part ways,” CBS said in a statement, a copy of which PFT has received. “We thank Tony for his contributions over the past nine years and wish him the best moving forward. J.J. Watt will continue to partner with Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson on our lead NFL announce team for the rest of the season." forestarrow.help
Said Romo in a statement of his own, a copy of which PFT has received: "I’m proud of what I accomplished at CBS Sports over the last nine years. I approached my role as a game analyst the way I’ve approached everything in my life–with a desire to win and be the best that I can be. I'm going to use this time to take a break, something I've never done before, and focus on my health and my family before moving on to my next opportunity. I am grateful for my time with CBS Sports and for the continued support of my family and friends, as well as the NFL community and fans.”
From the moment CBS placed Romo on leave with a one-sentence press release, it seemed obvious that he'd never return.
The situation was sparked by a recent OWI arrest in Milwaukee, but there had been lingering questions regarding whether Romo was living up to his exorbitant contract.
Entering the 2026 season, CBS owed Romo $72 million over the next four years. They possibly reached a settlement that pays him some of the money, but not all of it.
Romo eventually issued a statement apologizing for the OWI arrest. He said that he had developed during his playing career a "dependence on pain medication, and my efforts to get off those medications led to an over-reliance on alcohol."
He also vowed to return to CBS.
But CBS never seemed to be on board with bringing Romo back. Now, he's out.
J.J. Watt has replaced Romo in the top CBS booth. Whether he retains that seat beyond 2026 remains to be seen. Romo's broadcasting future is also up in the air; it's unlikely he'll claim one of the top spots at another network.
Terry McLaurin added to injury report, listed as questionable for Sunday
The Commanders made a late addition to their injury report for Sunday's game against the Colts in London.
Wide receiver Terry McLaurin is listed as questionable to play in that contest. McLaurin was not on the injury report until Friday and he was limited by a hamstring injury.
Injuries that pop up late in the week can often lead to absences from the lineup, so the Commanders may need to try for their second straight win with Stefon Diggs at the top of their receiver group.
Running back Rachaad White (shoulder) has been ruled out after missing a third straight practice. Quarterback Jayden Daniels (left elbow), guard Sam Cosmi (concussion, throat), and safety Nick Cross (illness) were ruled out ahead of the release of the report. Safety Percy Butler (concussion) is questionable to play.
Alpinlegenden Hirscher får wildcard til verdenscupen
Den tidligere alpinkongen Marcel Hirscher vil nyte godt av et wildcard til å delta i verdenscupen kommende sesong.
Det opplyser Det internasjonale skiforbundet (FIS) etter et styremøte i Genève denne uken.
Wildcardet har blant annet betydning for startnummeret Hirscher vil få i renn han kjører. Østerrikeren kommer til å start som nummer 31, hvilket betyr at han starter rett etter de aller beste.
Hirscher, som nå konkurrerer for morens hjemland Nederland, satser på et nytt comeback etter et skadeavbrekk på nesten to år.
Den tidligere seiersgrossisten , som har vunnet verdenscupen sammenlagt åtte ganger, gjorde comeback i 2024 etter å ha byttet nasjonalitet. Da fikk han wildcardet som ble innført spesielt for ham. Men etter bare tre renn røk han korsbåndet på trening.
Den alvorlige skaden gjorde at Hirscher gikk glipp av både den sesongen og den påfølgende OL-vinteren.
Lindsey Vonn, en annen stor stjerne, er også tildelt wildcard for kommende sesong. Den amerikanske stjernen har imidlertid ikke vist noen tegn til å ville konkurrere i verdenscupen igjen etter den alvorlige skaden hun pådro seg i OL. (NTB)
