Tony Romo Had Perfect Response During Chiefs-Texans Broadcast After Getting Reminded of Dez Bryant's Non-Catch
Tony Romo has emerged as one of the best color commentators on television after his successful career with the Dallas Cowboys.
The only thing that eluded Romo during his career was a signature playoff win. He nearly had one in 2014 in the Divisional Round against the Green Bay Packers that fans will remember for a controversial call that took a catch near the end zone away from Dez Bryant. The play was for some reason ruled incomplete and the Cowboys fell 26-21.
The anniversary of that game was this weekend and Romo was reminded of that by Jim Nantz.
Jim Nantz mentions to Tony Romo that yesterday was the 5-year anniversary of the overturned Dez Bryant catch in Green Bay.

Romo: “That’s a great memory, Jim. Let’s go to break so I can be very upset. See you when we get back.”
Nantz almost appears like an Internet troll in this scenario. He did have a reason to bring it up with the Packers playing today, but couldn't he have waited until they were off the air?!
Poor Tony.
Five years ago today, controversy in Lambeau ...

Romo's career may have been different if that call had gone the other way, so his co-worker reminding him of this on national television is a special kind of savagery.
