Tony Romo on the Eagles, the national anthem and Jason Witten’s ESPN gig

When a former Dallas Cowboys quarterback impresses even the most diehard Eagles fans, you know you're doing something right.

CBS took a gamble last season when it landed Tony Romo, who was highly sought by every major television network covering the NFL. Romo was immediately placed on the network's No. 1 broadcast team, forcing longtime color analyst Phil Simms out of the booth and into the studio.

There was some concern heading into the season that Romo would be in over his head. But to nearly everyone's surprise, the gamble paid off almost immediately thanks to Romo's energetic narration and his psychic-like ability to predict plays.
