Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is calling his first game at CBS' No. 1 analyst replacing Phil Simms.

Simms is now on the pregame show, which led to an awkward interview between Simms and Romo on Sunday morning.

Said Simms: "Hey Tony, how are you doing? How does that seat feel?"

Romo: "Hey Phil, great to hear your voice there."

Later, Simms said: "Don't be nervous. Only 50 million people are watching."

The move has drawn its share of criticism, support and overall analysis, from Chris Simms saying CBS needs to rethink how it operates if social media backlash influenced the move, to Joe Buck wondering if Romo is realizes "how much it's going to take to step into that booth and go 100 mph.
